Looks really good. Would be my preference too. Ideally with lumbar and heated.

Have you tried that upholstery cleaner on your Mattress? If not and it’s not brand new, prepare to be even more disgusted when you do!

Looks like it did a good job. What make of upholstery vac is it?

I spent a few pounds in a set of hubcaps on eBay then sent the car down to the local tyre depot who did a nice job of fitting them.

Do you maybe still have a link for the hubcaps?

It's a Bissell Spotclean bought on a Black Friday deal. Seems to work pretty well, but it doesn't get a huge amount of use.

Just a couple of updates. The wiper arm had sagged noticeably, so it was only a matter of time before the arm needed a replacement. Paul (Deproman) to the rescue, and a replacement was delivered within a couple of days.

Replacement the wiper arm didn't take long; most of it was just fiddling around getting the datums correct, but it helped that I had done this before so had the little puller required.

Another couple of little jobs I'd finally go around to were fitting a fuse box cover after glueing the new clips on, and I also replaced the aftermarket light switch with a nice OEM one. I was never particularly happy with the fit of the Chinese one; the chrome looked nice, but fitting it removed the strength of the switch.
