Loads of plastic trim parts cleaned and dressed today. Stripped the airbox and airflow meter today and repainted where needed.

It's quite surprising how small the NE really is in it entirety once you get it out & work with it.

Here's the one we took from an SE5 & stuffed in the back of the donor Saab 9-3, you can barely see the bloody thing lol!
