Great little Video, That Z4 crash was very nasty!
Looking at all the cars that went into the tyres most of the "modern" cars looked like they had Minor damage (Although im sure it was worse than it looked) but that Pug 309 just folds on the front end! Crumple zones FTW LOL

Reasonably happy with the end result but is there any way i can get more "Flake pop" and Shine?
What Products would improve this finish?
Stages -
Clean wheels with AG wheel cleaner
Snow...
Just put my Plates on to freshen up the car a bit -
Clean rear plate with no Euro crap thing on it, just nice and simple.
Same for front but 3/4 height and standard length :)
.... for the past few weeks so as the weather was nice out I thought I would give it a bit of a clean.
Before looking a bit grubby -
The wheels were really bad -
Out with the AG wheel cleaner -

172's come as either a cup or a 172... Cup will have cloth seats, Cup spoiler and splitter and suspention. 172 will have leather, normal spoiler and no splitter.

Just shows how much respect Coilin had... True Sporting Ledgend.
VBH was looking particularly filthy in that clip as well.
No need ill just park it in the garage down at the Maclaren workshops, Perfectly flat there for setting the cars up and use the laser spirt level thing across the boot of the car.
Mine is a pig in the wet, i only have to touch the gas gently and the wheels spin up, Roundabouts are terrible I got overtaken by a Bus on one the otherday I was having to go so slow!
That said i think mine is down to my ditch finders on the front of the car.
I need to do mine to....
Plan on marking a line out with a spirit level and whiteboard marker.
As for cleaning the pannel an Alcohol/pannel wipe should do the trick.
I had 3 DCI 65's when working for renault As Company cars... the engines are Bullet proof, i ran the 1st one in (From 12 miles old) by driving it for 2 miles in 1st gear on the red line LOL
