So! This easter weekend i've been cracking on with some jobs on the 2 - oil & filter change, lift up the front end coilovers, give it a good tidy up inside, get the dashcam wired up and ready to get working, and last but not least - get the armrest installed
So! Oil change is lovely and simple - went for some Shell Helix 5w30 and a bog standard bosch filter. Simple as! Oil was rather black so i'm glad I was doing it - one thing being the crush washer was absolutely obliterated and completely toast, must have been used and reused numerous times! So it got treated to a fresh one in my stash from the 8 since they're the same size
ain't gunna leak on me, nope! Will likely do it either once every year or 5k miles, which ever comes first, since it's cheap enough to do and nice to keep on top of
Coilovers have been raised up by 1.5cm to begin with - but as soon as they hit the ground again, I realised they still need to go up even more
so i'll likely be doing another 1.5/2cm too - get it levelled out with the rear end
Inside was a bit mucky, but as I needed to take all the bits out to wire the dashcam (didn't want to go the headliner route since the cable was long enough, and not as easy as in the 8 with no B pillar!
) I did a much deeper clean of all crevices I could get to. nice and dirt free again for now (well, apart from the mud on the door, i'll get to that bit
)
Still to get the rear dashcam properly mounted and the cable tidied on the boot end, it's through the weather stripping part, just how to route it. Also didn't want the camera half way down the glass since that's where it would have to be due to the dotted bit at the edges blocking the camera angle
needs sorting that one, but in due time.
And the armrest! Thanks very much to Darius for that one, but now have a nifty little rest and cubby spot for anything I could ever wish for. Makes it a lovely comfy place to be along with the cloth 8 seats. Can't wait to do some long drives in it haha
Bit of progress still to be made on the dashcam and faffing with the fusebox to get it on it's own circuit, but i'll get that sorted soon
and then up next will be a head unit when that arrives! Has been ordered this weekend so hopefully doesn't take too long from China! Ooooh, and new floor mats too!

that and breathing easy with some fresh cabin air filters! Also on the list is some new floor mats along with a good clean! 
but I'll get there 
that's a real ouchie!
and the R3 unfortunately had to go after 18 months as I could no longer drive a Manual gearbox 
Awesome day all in all, bit late home, but the 2 stood up to the test!
