I was planning on Dodo Juice Light Fantastic? So the order would be -
Wash
Dry
(Clay would come here yea ? But I've just done that :))
AG SRP
Sealant
Wax
?
Recommend me a sealent that is easy to find and not toooo prohibitively expensive hehe :) Also, I don't have a polisher - so one...

But that's if you pay £15k for one. Which no one will when you can have them for over £2k less than that, with options. Didn't someone say Arnold Clark in, erm, somewhere were punting out a pre-reg one for £12.5k with Recaros and A/C ?

Thanks guys :)
I see sealant mentioned up there? Is that another product I should be slapping on between AGP and wax or is that just the wax layer?
Dan
I was gonna ask for a shot today but didn't have time :( I know the lass who works on Parts now as well, so that's handy :) They have a Black Gold 05 plate 182 in there for £8.5k as well.

Hey y'all...
A kind soul bought me some Dodo Juice Lime Prime and Light Fantastic - I am very happy about this. Now, with regards to the lime prime, where in this order does it go - and does it replace AG SRP
1. Wash/shampoo
2. Dry
3. AG SRP
4. Dodo Light Fantastic
(clay left out cos I...

But to be fair, so are new Renaults. Went I got in the 197 for the first time the first thing that struck me was how solid and meaty it all felt.

Well I don't own a 1*2 of any flavour, so I have no reason to be bias, it just makes sense that the Trophy is the best one - although if you don't like red cars it's probably not for you hehe. As a hot hatch though, it's the best - as a commuting tool, or if I wasn't someone who put the...
I'd go for a Trophy myself. Ignoring the extra cost - it's obviously the best one (which is why it's most expensive heh). And there is the slight extra resale it'll give you as a limited edition, and the coolness of having a plaque hehe!

If it's any sort of help I test drove both in the same day? Within about an hour of each other heh. The only things the Fiesta had going for it IMHO over the 182 (with Cup Packs) was that it was cheaper, and was cheaper to insure. May have been a bit better built but it was horses for courses...
£17.5k?! No no dude, you don't wanna be paying a penny over £15k for a FF, even with some options - bearing in mind R27s were offered at £14k new. Get a loan and but one of the 2nd hand ones on the market for £13.5k-£14k would be my advice.

I'm ashamed for saying it, but I could probably be talked into a remapped Corsa VXR. A black one with black wheels. Ok, you'd look a bit of a t**t, but 220-230bhp in something lighter than a 197, it HAS to be entertaining surely! I've read that once lowered as well, they handle really well...
Buy a second hand one, seen a couple of 06 (or I might mean 56) platers for a shade under £10k private now. That's some impressive depreciation right there heh. And they still have plenty of warranty left so you don't miss out on anything by buying private.
The 197 cleaned and debadged thread...
