OP - Ignore Reecey for the love of god!

^ it's people like you that spoil it for the rest of us (honest) lot.

Looks good! Any plans for it?

^FLOL!

Tell your insurance company EVERYTHING. I'm pretty sure I'm paying an extra few hundred quid for my remapped VX220. Worth it for the peace of mind :)

Should be a good crack, I'll make up for missing the last round ;)

lol thought so, just checking :rasp:

Kind of related: If you've been to the ring, can you put the sticker on a new car (that hasn't been round)? I assume no :(

Leave it then, looks good.

If you've not been, get it off your car. Simple.

Probably about 30-40 mins on each one. Then about a minute with the G220 to polish lol! I'll polish it better tomorrow, just need to be a bit more thorough with the 1500 grit tomorrow.

hmmmm.....interesting. Didn't like red if I'm honest, this is a good'un :)

Thanks :) It'll be a while until my next trip abroad (thank god!)

Compared to what it looked like before, I would be happy to leave it there but as I've got oodles of time next week, I'll give it another go. I just used 1500, 200, 2500 grit wet and dry, followed by G220 with menzerna power gloss.

Had a go this evening instead. I started of with 2000 grit, as I didn't want to go nuts! This is the offside light, which was/is the worst: Before: During: After: ​ It's not 100% corrected, I struggled with the bits near the edges, like here: The other side wasn't as bad to start off...

Thanks. I'll have a go tomorrow hopefully. Is there anything that can go wrong? Or would you have to do something pretty special to bugger something up?!

Yeh I've got a machine polisher. I'll buy one of those assorted packs from Halfords later, got next week off so I'll have a go then :)

Thanks Dan. Do you remember what grades you used?

I'm a fan of this (might add a bit more on the VX ;))... ....but those evos sound laughably stupid!

Yeh I've seen the same sort of thing a lot on here where people have corrected them. Just after a bit of advice before I potentially screw them up! ;)

I'm after a bit of advice on these. I know it's not a Clio, but I know all the pros hangout here ;) This is what they look like: Can I fix these with the normal procedure? Wet sand followed by a damn good polish? I've been told these have some sort of UV coating on them (which I think is...

I did have a problem like this before. I think I solved it ticking the 'part of a compilation' tick box. Try that, see if that works :) (highlight all of the tracks in the album, then tick)

Cool, well I bet its a h00t to drive. Not all about raw power ;)

Clive....ffs.....took me ages to figure it out lol! 1.8? or 1.6?

Bet that's fun to drive in the wet! ;)

I got my VX220 as I felt it was time to move on. I loved the Clio, put a smile on my face every time I got in it. But....as I don't give a monkeys about practicality etc, I moved on to something which is in a different league in terms of fun! It was just that time, with Clios being dirt cheap...

Dave am I going to be alright breaking my car on my drive? Seems a flat surface is best, what do you reckon?

I was looking at M3s at the same time as VX220s. Some tidy ones about for the money I was looking to spend. I didn't fancy the high running costs, and it's too comfy and 'boring' for me at the moment.

Meh....Bikes have never done anything for me and they never will. Nice use of a camera though!

Just found this thread. Top notch work, you're Marmite shots are the best imho, really tricky ones to do, getting the car sharp that is! I can't stand photographing motorsport in the wet, nothing more depressing. But you can get some really interesting photos from the weather.
