    The skinny exhausts look fine. They go great with the overall retro look of your car, I like them.
    Better than sticking a couple of bean tins on the back.:D

    Nice copen done up!

    Hi Joe,

    nice done up on your copen esp those diy stuff, like your license plate :) I have been driving one for about one and a half year now. Its a weekend plate btw. Where you service your car? For me i just went go to autobacs to service. But i will bring my own oil filter since it is hard to get it there.

    Thanks opboy... glad you like it. :)

    I did my first and only servicing at DKC in Tampines. Should be going back to them unless I can find another decent workshop in the West.

    Received another set of smaller chrome washer covers from a China website. The size is much smaller this time round.

    I found some leftovers of the 5mm chrome moulding that was used for the front windscreen. Found them to be sufficient to do up the rear windscreen as well. :):):)

    This time I am using masking tape. It seems to leave very little sticky residue after removal, unlike the clear scotch tape.

    Taping them closer to each other to ensure that the moulding will stick to the correct spot.

    Finally finished putting the moulding all around the windscreen.

    Time to carefully remove the 3M tape below.

    This time I join the ends with a diagonal cut.
