We are all in it because its a social event. Clio sport, non sport or non clio, doesn't matter.
It's just always good to meet new people and names to faces. Some of my best friends have been made through meeting on this forum.
Thanks for the kind words @frayz
I normally flat through the stages (lowest of 800 to 3000 on a trizac pad) and cut and polish with various pads (green 3m, yellow rupes, 3m green compound, sonax perfect finish) and normally ceramic coat them with dlux after panel wipe.
These kits seem great...
Costco do a decent toolbox for sub £700. I have the older style and it's been great.

Shows out of stock online, but there's always loads in store.
But it looks good for them on social media to have the more eye appealing cars there, which you can understand.
If it was full of "normal" cars, it wouldn't look so fancy.
I think you book a time slot so they have a idea on times on people arrival and how many. I don't think you have to go by that time, can stay all day if you wanted too. We've been longer than our stay before and never been asked to leave.
These are direct replacements for the older style ones.

I have a non genuine alternator and it measures 130mm as its not threaded in the end so needs to be nutted.
Genuine one is threaded so 10mm less.
Depending on what alternator you have, it'll be m10x120mm or m10x130mm. Pitch is 1.5
Is that the kit that comes with 500, 800 and then 3000 trizac with orange pad?
Saw that recently, and thought it's a big jump from 800 to 3000. Definitely needs grades inbetween that.
