Yeah i was gutted to mate. it was on the left rear arch right on the bloody crease as well, luckily it wasnt any bigger or it would of needed re spraying after 3 days of ownership!!:dead:
But it cost me 60 quid just for the dent so wasnt so bad and looks fine now.
Cheers for the help rich.:)
Cheers mate. Legend!! Better leave the scratchX alone then LOL. I only used it on 2 areas. The 3rd day i picked up the R27 some git throw a bottle os something at my car!! Got the dent out but when i got the car back it had a few swirls in that one area. Got rid of most of them. Rest of the car...
Yeah not much in it i agree. But it just feels like wants to keep goin and with so much pull. My 182 was quick but didnt feel like this. Cant understand why people think they are slow when they really aint at all. ( Dont worry i know you were joking):) Thing is its not much up on power and...
Dont you ever cley then rich? Whats best to keep my paint good mate if ya dont mind. Got an LY R27. I wash with 2 bucket method and megs mitt. dry with megs towel. Then good layer of SRP then AGP and megs wax. And megs scratchX for those light hairline scratches. The paint is super gaurded as...
Hey everyone. Just wonderin on a few peoples opinions. Some people on here say the 197 is down on power compared to the 182. I used to own a 182 and drove a few examples and mine was the best one i drove, no probs with it. My R27 feels quicker than my 182 without question, power is more...
Yeah mpg aint great i suppose, but i didnt buy for ecoomy ha ha!:cool: worst ive had is 200 miles from gunning the whole tank, but i normally avereage 280-300, which aint to bad but could be better.:) Hope a remap might sort it a bit?:S
I no what you mean on the corners mate, its silly how much grip it has! I love the car. the r27 is so accomplished i dont have a bad word to say about it.
Window tints always look good on 172s in silver. I think tints that do actually tint the windows look good. Not limo black tho, looks much more effective if you can see through them, but at night the always look limo black any way. I got standard tints on my r27 and in the dark they look black...
They are excellent cars. I had a 182 and when i test drove it i just had to get 1! They are just as quick as the 17/182s and mine feels really tourqy and pulls like a train. amazing handling and the gearbox is so good, keeps you on cam so easily, if im really goin for it i never drop off cam...
Ive got the odd sqeek on my r27 thats goin in next thursday. said to them about the main problems and said to the girl that wen i get it back i dont want to hear a sinlge noise from the cabin or it will be booked back in on the same day. Also wit strict instructions not to wash it and i will be...
Does clay really scratch badly then? Ive done it twive on my car and never noticed anything. I just kept folding the clay all the time. I admit my car is new so its not ever been that bad but it does work wonders on the places it builds up onthe most and when its been polished afterwards it...
My fuel bills are crap. I have the worst job, im an estate agent and drive it all the time, done 4k on it! Engine has bedded in well, pulls like a rocket! But have to drive it so slow all the time time get some sort of economy out of her, i can get just over 300 miles per tank. Once i nailed it...
oh dear! cant see anywhere in my thread where im moaning? and yes ill be in milton keynes all day tomorrow so if you have a private track we could have a spin? i hate to point it out but the 182 has more torque than 197 so dont know how it can feel more tourquey as u spell it? if you have...
Shut up you c**k! I had a 182, and i got a r27 now! much better car hav you ever driven one? Well i think your using that your car is 4 mph faster as an excuse!nice one mate! The car is not slow its the same, mine feels much more tourqey and the gear box makes it much easier to keep it on cam...
Hey mate yeah that was me! I thought it was someon that new gareth as i didnt recognise the car ha ha! Been well busy aint been on the site in ages. Stands out like a saw thumb in that colour ha ha!:)
How can a complete upgrade in every way be a side step? You driven one?
I completly spanked a 172 last night. The engine is grunty, pulls like a train and handling wise you cant get it off the road. Fact.:)
Well...basically....what is it?:S
Prob sounds dumb, but just wanna no?
Is it, wash with one bucket and then use another bucket of water to rinse? If so whats wrong with a hose?
Or is it wash the car once with 1 bucket, rinse and then wash again?
In which case i do the lateone anyway.
Noob...
Sorry if this sounds silly. But they are usually stored in the boot in the little grey pouch? Or have you taken them out before?
Other wise it might have to be the drill bud.
I was sayin the AG is good. But ive used some other megs/turtle wax gels and as soon as you drive off it sprays. And on a LY car it shows up and is fukin anoying.
I think its quite good. I dont think it lasts the best, but i find gels spray up the side of the car and ruin all the hard polishin you av just dun. Even if i really buff in the gel it still does it.
On the way to collect my r27 some old woman(early60s to 70s) was givin me a bit of jip in her ph1 172, it was so funny. I then proceeded to chase her in my 182( give her credit she did nail it to 100lol!) then over took har and gave her the V! Me and the misses were in fits of laughter as we...
It wasnt me in the trophy, but have i raced you before onthe A5? Wierd question i no. It was on the A5 about 2-3 months ago maybe? I was in a black 182 then, We both come off the a5 roundabout where the little chef is and hoofed it?:S
Jesus here! No dont really fancy that, my deciples will take me where i need to go. And its bad for the environment.
I think ill just stick with my creepers!
Remember, thou shalt not speed my children.:)
