    And on the "To Do" list are....
    * The rear bumper appears to be incorrect - it may be a front one???
    Great work Rob
    Mini front & rear bumpers are the same but even genuine ones don't seem to sit right sometimes

    ALFIE : 2 WEEKS ON!


    And on the "To Do" list are....


    * Investigate slightly uneven idleThis is not as easy as you think Electronic Idle....Plug in a diagnostic. Probably a sensor usually the airflow....
    * Investigate/raise front section of exhaust - seems too low.5Pun Hammer. Fine adjustment.
    * Investigate squint steering wheel.Bent track rod.
    * Re-treatment of Waxoyl
    * New washer bottle
    * Finish the dash re-assembly
    * New front cones
    * Sony CD player and the very best 16.5cm speakers I can find. An amp *may* follow...
    * Possibly re-fitting the bonnet stripes that he came with... maybe...Do it.......looks ace.
    * New passenger mirror.
    * The rear bumper appears to be incorrect - it may be a front one???they are the same front and back...
    * New rear light unit (one is cracked inside)I have a few spare sets.
    * Fix rear screen heater (one line is not working)Halfrauds do a Replacement Fluid that works a treat.But make sure you mask it properly.
    * Fix brake-fail warning light - it annoys me!New Resovoir cap..
