A gentle bit of heat free'd mine off when I last fitted them.

Wtf??

From what the OP is saying, the painter made him aware before he painted it? I'm not really sure what taking it back will achieve other than the painter saying "I told you so" and shrugging his shoulders. (Apologies if I've got the wrong end of the stick)

That's fucked mate. You can either live with it or bite the bullet and put a new roof on it. Sadly, the roof is a massive flexible panel and the filler will not like moving, hence the cracking.

Take a big pack of thick cable ties. If it's the cars first hiding on track, you can guarantee something will break.

Welcome to the club mate.

Please change those sidelight bulbs before any more kittens die.

Awesome.

800?! f**k me.

Me personally I'd just sell it as it is. It's unlikely you'll get the £600 back and most jo public don't even know what a cambelt is.

This is Cliosport.net, where people will ignore perfectly logical and sound advice and instead would prefer to bodge up by jamming in 10p resistors into electrical connectors.

Leave the dash and the door cards in. They weigh f**k all and removing them makes living with the car a pain in the ass. Seats weigh a ton so bin them. Carpets, sound deadening and the tar on the bodywork all weighs a load so bin all that too. Remove both front airbags and fit a lighter...

Your stance needs some work mate. Front needs about 10 degrees of Neg camber from where it currently sits and the rear wheels need to be spaced out more. Welcome to the forum though, I look forward to the progress pics.

There was a dog c**k red one at a car show on Sunday, parked next to a dark metallic blue one. The blue one looked like a 2.0tdi in comparison. The bright red worked so well with the black grilles etc and looked f**king badass. And I hate Audi's!

Are we reading the same thread??

I didn't mate. I'm useless at remembering stuff so I'd only end up doing half a job for a write up. I'll be getting out very soon to clean it etc so I'll take loads of pics then.

I'm not really sure what's to 'appreciate' with those cars?? They're f**king w**k.

Another old beauty just rocked up;

No that's under a cover in my mates garage. Next to the Fiat.

Two stunners in today;

Fantastic example. Even if I was loaded though I'd struggle to justify £77,800 to buy it. That's an obscene amount of money.

Where can I sign up?

Look up circuit motors and/or Sabre Tuning. They build big power FRS's but one of them runs a 172 as his daily and they are VERY knowledgeable people. I recently had my car mapped there as the previous owner seemingly had it mapped by drunken one hoofed donkey. Not sure how 'south' you are...

Mondeo sized tyres on a lowered Clio will never end well.

I echo this. It's only 20 minutes away from me, the weather will be amazing and its famed with cars.... but I have work coming out of my ass so I'd be daft to turn it away. Have a great time all.

Get a felt pen and put a spot the size of a 5p on the edge of the back of the pad. The machine should be oscillating fast enough that you can barely see it. If you can start to see the spot, you're pushing too hard. It's a great way to monitor pressure.

You say about giving it stick, are you pushing too hard? If you push too hard the machine can't oscillate properly and you just end up pushing Polish around the car. Have you drawn a spot on the back of the pad for reference? (Apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs!)

You must have some proper Chinese/eBay specials! Or you're driving like your hair is on fire?? Have you changed the fluid recently?

£10k and they haven't even bothered cleaning the inside the lazy b******s!
