    So glad I asked on here and went with the mazda ones. They've transformed the wheels. This is what they used to look like:

    Haha! :) That's what I thought when #2 son got married near Edinburgh in July (profile pic is from their reception). All OK at d-in-law's place, so nothing to worry about.

    Of course we had rain of biblical proportions the night before, the Edinburgh bypass was flooded and closed and all hell broke loose! :-((

    So, not quite the de-stressed day I had been hoping for, so....

    ... you'll have better luck than we did! ;) Mind you, once we got to the service and on, all was magic, so it ended up being a brill day, and....

    ... their wedding vehicle was a classic Splittie VW minibus. Very cool! :cool:

    (every picture tells a story ... brolly at the ready!)

    Today the weather has been immense:cool:, so we're really looking forward to seeing MLC looking all sparkly and happy being the wedding vehicle, Badger, be-decked in his white ribbons, big smiles all round. :D:D

    Hope it's been a totally stonking day and the whole Copenworld family sends you, Mrs Badger and the family all our very best wishes. :);)

    Piccies sometime later this week??? :D:D

    Neville's got New Nuts!!

    At last! Neville's now sporting a lovely new set of chrome MX5 wheel nuts, as recommended by loads and loads of Copenistas, and doesn't it make a difference.....

    The nice shiny chrome of the MX5 nuts contrast sharply with the corroded Copen ones.

    Neville's deighted to be sporting his new s-h-i-n-y look! :cool:

    Spurred on by the transformation I got to work on his interior, polishing all the leather with the red Woly stuff (which I managed to kneel in, lol! :() and then tried out the Autoglym stuff and the Gummi-pflege goo on all his rubbers - urgh, some of them were well mucky with mud and algae. So, Neville's looking sparkly inside with nice rubbery ... rubber!

    So, just the outside to sort now (sigh! :rolleyes:).
