Use a pencil eraser. I found that anything else looked like it removed the residue, but all it did was cover it up and you could see it again in a few days.

Awesome, thanks for the quick response. I'll do exactly that.

I am wondering if the vent surround (the piece that is silver in 172s) comes out seperately from the rest of the dashboard. I don't want to try prying it off with a screwdriver because it looks to me as if it doesn't. As you may have guessed, I want to paint it silver. So will I just have to...

Denso is a manufacturer of car components; aside from that I have no idea what makes it different from other ECUs.

Yep, you pay your money, buy a puzzle and get a free car.

I was emptying the ashtray in my car of assorted bits of rubbish, when I dropped the thing and the spring flew off! I have been trying for the last 30mins and I can't figure out how the spring went, so if someone could do me a big favour and take a picture of one with the spring fitted, that...

It's fairly easy, you can get a great finish usually so long as you put plenty of time into preparing them. The end quality will only be as good as the prep before paint.

I found a hack site where it explains how you can modify it so it's uber powerful... I'll see if I can find it again.

There used to be a Pentagon Auto Tint near Springkerse, they did a top quality job on my dads car.

You should keep them blue. I really like the contrast second time I looked at the pic. I noticed you have a Honda Beat... what is it like? My brother loves the sound of Beats, although I have never seen one, he has been trying to find a Mugen tuned one, but I dont think he will. How does it handle?

I had a look, and I see what you mean. I just had seen V6 and cup spoilers listed on eBay as the same thing. Cup one looks much nicer IMO.

Oh well, doesn't look I will get one for a good price... What's the difference between the V6 spoiler and the Renault sport?

I use the ash tray to keep money in, as your can just flip the lid and it hides it. If you don't smoke, its a good plan.

I used a product called Rain Racer. It's a bit of effort to put on, but it will last 1500 miles. It was two stage, one was the "burnishing gel" which intensively cleaned the glass, then the actual product. You have to rub very hard when applying it, that's why it's tough work.

They look good, how much?
