Hopefully you have put money aside for a rainy day. I was also freelance/consultant for most of my working life and always made sure to have a reserve for rainydays. Thankfully, something like this never happened.

I too will never run out of car care products. The shelf above that in the picture has a DA polisher, boxes of cloths, pads, windscreen buffers etc not to mention the buckets with the foam lance and 4 different wheel brushes.

Rainy day provision has never been my best subject. I've been unreasonably successful in getting work for many years and that's allowed me to be complacent. I'm not alone in being ill-prepared for a long wageless period. Better placed than many, I'm sure.

I've been eyeing wheel brushes for ages, but never bought one. My wheels don't need them. it would be totally unnecessary shopping. I'll probably buy one eventually. If the world starts turning again in a recognisable fashion.

Good health and shiny cars to all.

There is a fine line between looking nice and overdoing it!
I agree, Rory, so far the car looks great, perhaps the grill might be a step to far, as for the indicators nobody would know any difference until they flash and hopefully they look good. :)

You are right, Jon, It was just a thought, I've ditched the grill idea. :)
I like the Panamerica grills generally but I’m not sure whether it would suit the 207

I think that grille would look absolutely awful. They look fabulous on the right car such as an AMG GT or an S63 Coupe. Tony's car as it stands is not my cup of tea but then it's not my car. These additions/modifications just cheapen the Marque in my view. :rolleyes::(

Absolutely, each to his own, I agree fully. It's just that I have never been a fan of modded cars, even as a young man. I like to see them exactly as they came out of the factory. :)

All opinions welcome, good, bad, harsh, nasty, daft, after all it is a forum, personally I think it looks bl00dy great, but as Rory says there's a fine line
between looking good and overdoing it, don't think I've crossed it yet. :)
