All of which happen to my classic Mini. Last time, the hi-pressure wash tore the wheel-arch extension right off!

Bucket of soapy water for my MINI when it arrives ...

EB with white roof, wheels and stripes, Chili pack, DSC and climate control. Hate those 17" runflats though. Can now be seen all over the West Midlands, as a blue blur passing everything at speed
