Not updated this for a while! Not a fat lot interesting, hopefully some cooler stuff at some point...
Gear gaitor was replaced, as the old one had snapped it's clips in the usual place and was a bit tatty...

Then today these arrived from Chris Powell...
Oh yes mate, got your name all over it this :p
Cheers pal, good choice in colour ;) Need to get some proper photos of it rather than just on the drive. Spent 5 hours on it this afternoon and still need to do the interior!!!! Better than working...
Thanks for all the comments and words of wisdom guys, really appreciated. Will look into getting some tardis and other polish/glazes. I had a feeling I'd done the Iron-X/Claying the wrong way round, when I think what the products do that should be pretty obvious 2bh!!!
I just used a sponge
Next to tackle was the wheels. They are trophy turini's, originally from No. 007. They do need a refurb ideally, but I thought I'd see what I could do with them.
Valet Pro Bilberry was used (4:1), along with the silverline wheel/alloy brush (cheapskate I know, I didn't buy the EZ detail)...
Hello detailing people.

Re: ***How much is my car worth?***
Well, I'm going to hate the response to this I feel.
'54 Plate 182
Liquid Yellow
Full service history (Renault and local garages)
Belts we're done around 2 years ago at 40something thousand.
Just ticked over 65,000
Non-cup packed but retrofitted with spoiler...
You know the spline the wiper goes on? Well that's worn so there's some play in it. I've asked Chips Away to have a look at it just to see if I'm talking £100 or £600 to fix it, no idea how much they charge.
Yeah course I will mate :-)
Thinking of getting rid of the 182 this year for an R26 and there's a few bits on the car I've always meant to get round to tidying up. The question is, would you bother? Can't decide whether I'd be better off paying out a few quid to get them put right in the hope of getting more for it or...
