Mechanical:
Pop my wipers off and clean behind the scuttle panel
New brake discs front, pads all round, service

Visual:
Give the paint a good restoration with Meguiars'
Replace cracked front/l indicator
replace cracked front/r bumper

Other:
New ICE install

+ lots of other little bits. Thankfully I sorted the all fundamental issues with the mechanicals last year so I'm looking forward to a nice long holiday with my ForFour this year. Maybe I'll drive to Portugal.

Look at one of the diy hot glue gun dent removal things

They aren’t too bad

(I did a guide I think)

My roof spoiler appears to have delaminated quite badly so that'll need replacing. Other than that... not got much planned.

Fix the creaking knock on the front suspension, fix the squeaky wiper linkage, fix the noisy what I suspect is the clutch release bearing and the timing belts due. A few things to try and work through there. It's cost me nothing more than routine servicing the year I've had it so I can't complain
