Not as much snow as some (or as much as we've had even), but enough! Now clean, dry and tucked up in the garage :)

Touring owners, be careful of snow pulling your rear wiper down. Also try not to snap your radio ariel off!

to answer you both :)

the parcel shelf is an old tatty one i removed from my old fiesta that some tool had fitted 6x9s into.
i used it as it covered a lot more surface area and was soft enough not to scratch my paintwork :P

and as for working in this weather.... i was bored and had nothing better to do... removing the headlights only took 5 mins any who :D

16" x 7.5" like the 1-piece jobbies, but ET20... not exactly common, but more so than the 17"s!

Polished rims + road salt = :cry:
