    Dash Strip colour?

    I went for the silver/carbon effect ones out of a 172 i think? I've got some pictures but they were taken on a phone and therefore are a bit crap but will post up if you want, they certainly tidied it up alot from the OE silver/rapidly going brown ones paid £18 delivered on ebay in the end and...

    Aftermarket shocks, need shorter/stiffer than oem.

    you could always try the adjustable rear koni's out if you feel like parting with the better part of £200!

    white smoke and sweet smell from exhaust????

    if it was just water in the exhaust it wouldnt smell sweet though, the sweet smell comes from the burning of the ethylene-glycol in the coolant

    white smoke and sweet smell from exhaust????

    no idea on price, depends if it needs a new waterpump / head skimming / replacement belts, if its coming out of the exhaust it definitely sounds like coolant is getting into the combustion chamber or exhaust somehow, maybe the gasket is seeping slightly or like i said there could be a hairline...

    white smoke and sweet smell from exhaust????

    is it actually coming out of the tailpipe? If so would definitely suggest head gasket or possibly a hairline crack in the head / block

    Fuel consumption over 55 mph or 2500 RPM

    Its just a common culprit for poor fuel economy, sorted mine and BigDaves fuel economy right out when we changed ours, getting the injectors tested and cleaned isnt a bad shout either!

    You've lost me, i use 2 of these per seat then eye bolts in the original seatbelt + isofix points.

    +1, I had a noise similar to the one you describe on the Trophy, down bumpy roads / over potholes it would chirp / creak, changed the ARB bushes for powerflex ones and the noise has buggered off!

    unlimited BT infinity 1, any good?

    Infinty is great if you say want to browse webpages, steam things or play games online etc, but if you do alot of downloading ( especially torrents etc... ) they throttle the speeds right down during peak hours, we had it at our last place and it was proper slow until about 2in the morning then...
