Thought id make a quick thread about our day today at the World Series. I thought id give the infield parking a go this year.
Me and the missus arrived at Silverstone at around 8.30am. Ended up leaving at around lunch time. We got a bit bored after having a walk around, as they were all pretty...
Spotted at just past 8pm driving through the town centre. Had a private plate beginning with S. I did flash at you and you had a good look.
Dunno whether the owner is on here though. lol
Best colour for the 172.
Received a nice package from Tom (Wests Renault) yesterday, so this morning I took about fitting them to the swirly shed. I also gave it a quick clean, as it hadn't been done since CSS
One side repeater bulb less and a few cuts on my arm (somehow?!) I got these fitted:
(I really shouldn't be...
After WillCS197 suggested a photo location for me to check out, I went out with the camera tonight. Finding the location didnt end up too well as I wasn't prepared to drive down the road. Single road, proper overgrown and just full of massive potholes. (He'll have to take me down one day lol)...
So, I thought id post up a massive thread about my CSS journey. Ill start off with my detailing, which took place on Thursday and Friday...
CSS Build Up
Correction wasnt as good as I would have liked, but for an amateur/noob, I dont think ive done too bad.
I havent taken a shed load of photos...
Im going to be doing a massive detail on the 200 shed before CSS. Instead of it getting covered in flies on the way down to the event, I was thinking of being uber gay and doing the clingfilm thing across the front bumper.
What are the detailing wh0res opinions on this?
QD has been...
I haven't picked up my camera for a couple weeks now, so thought id have a quick session after 5aside (FC Reacharound y0) tonight.
Car is dirty, photos are crap (was literally there 2 minutes) and the location isnt the best (just my village's garage), but meh, fancied a wh0ring session so it'll...
So ive had my Canon 500D a good 4-5months now. Im thinking of getting another lens at some point soon.
I want one that has more zoom capability, as my standard lens is 17-70mm (or something like that). What do I need to look for when looking at lens' etc?
Would this one be adequate:
Canon...
Me, the girlfriend and her dog have spent the past week in Wales. We staying in a place near Porthmadog. Minus the fact ive had to have a dog in the car, the 200's windows being covered in slobber and a massive amount of sand in the car, we've had an awesome week. Gutted to come home. Wales is a...
I realised this on the way home from my girlfriends house last night.
Young lad was walking his dog as I was driving up a narrow street and it decided to just run into middle of the road as I was driving past. Good job ive got good brakes, otherwise it would have been right under the car. I...
A brand new 11 plate Red 200, with black roof, Speedlines and Recaros, in Tesco Alfreton's car park. Looked great, although the lack of Cup Spoiler disappoints me :rasp:
You probably spotted mine as well, as I parked it near enough right behind you.
A bit random, but me and the missus (and her dog :S*) are going to Wales in just over a week. I think we will be near to Snowdonia (is that what its called?!), but also near to the coast. Ill have to get the actual name of the place.
I was wondering whether you guys know of any places that...
Came down my street earlier. I live on a cul-de-sac, so it came to the bottom, turned around and then back up.
Was a white 197 (looked like a FF), with the front spoiler and side spoiler things. Also had a Cup Spoiler.
Exhaust sounded great. Would like to know whats on it.
Anyone on here...
When going up to the leisure centre yesterday afternoon (around 4-5pm), I was a few cars behind a Trophy (T12 PHY), which then turned off just before Tesco into a side street. Looked nice though, dont think he's on here though.
Also spotted an Inferno, with window tints. Looked clean, but...
Just a general question.
I am now in the search for perfection on my Clio 200. Still some swirls present, so I am looking to have achieved full on perfection by ClioSport Saturday.
As the car is clean, tar free etc, would it be worth me/alright detailing a couple panels each time I wash, then...
Is it worth me upgrading?
I currently have 199 photos uploaded. I says that you can only see the last 200 that I have posted once I go over.
Does that mean that all linked photos in threads that I initially uploaded wont be able to be seen anymore?
Does it mean that I cant look through...
So heres my story of FCS 2011...
Started bright and early to the tune of 4.30am (very niiiiice) and joined up with the epic convoy with Jenic ;) (somehow lost the rest of them).
FCS '11 Mine and Jenic's RBs at Leicester Services by Harpham y0, on Flickr
Parked together at FCS (ive been...
Over the past week, I have detailed both mine and Sargara's 200. The process started last Friday, when I had my wheels off to clean/seal them, plus give the brakes and arches a quick tidy up.
Process and products used for both cars (cba to write 2 lists):
- Clean wheels with Bilberry and wheel...
So after detailing Sargara's 200 today, I thought it would be rude not to get a few pics of our 200's together.
I feel that the evidence is now there to prove that RB is a greater colour than GW.
(Certainly less of a ballache to detail anyway ;) )
2/6/11 Sargara 200 Detail and Shoot by Harpham...
I gave the 200 shed a much needed detail today (Ill be starting a thread later on in the week about how that went, once ive detailed another 200).
On my way back from the girlfriend's house (I used her garage for the detailing. Not having a usable garage ftl), I thought it would be rude not...
Spotted you at about 1:30 today driving alongside Tesco in Alfreton.
Car looks good man! I was in my dad's car, so you wouldn't have spotted me.
:rasp:
Ive just sold my rollcage and im thinking of spending the returns on some lowering springs for the 200.
What are people's opinions on this? I want to get rid of the arch gap, but dont want it slammed. Im not willing to fork out £800+ on coilies either, as it'll be a bit of a waste considering...
The car is looking pretty sorry for itself at the moment, but I really havent got the time to do a proper clean on it, as I need all the time and energy I can get for all my Uni work.
My question is, would it suffice to just snow foam the car, rinse off and then water sheet across the car...
Me, Will CS197 and another peep met up earlier this evening for a few photos. Here are the results:

Thinking about removing the centre box from the 200, to make it raspier, louder and get more pops & bangs.
People have had it done for about £40, so its a cheap mod for what is seemingly a big difference.
Any places in Nottingham area that can make up a mild steel pipe and replace with...
Leave a car on my drive and I guarantee it will be covered in bird s**t, ffs :mad:

Im leaving it on the grass from now on!
*Pointless thread is pointless*
Im going to be detailing my car and a couple others in the coming months, so I wanted to get hold of something different to try out.
I currently roll with Dodo Juice Banana Armour, but that isnt really suitable for all colours is it?!
What else can be used?
I was thinking of trying this...
