A bit of heat should help. Some tar and glue remover will remove any residue left and a polish will bring the colour back up (though it's likely to be the rest of the car that's faded a bit and not the bit under the decal). A better pure polish for use by hand would be G/techniq P1.

I paid £90 for the 3 rears on a Focus ST. Job was perfect so was well worth the price. Be careful with the fronts though, they will already be tinted from the factory (very light but it's there and is usually around 10-15%) and even a light tint on top of it will put it over the legal limit (the...

You lads were quick off the mark, was just searching for that. Anyway the link is now in the post above.

Not quite true. The Dodo Factory has proved that by using several layers (3-6) you can very subtly change the shading of your car colour by using their waxes. They had a big thread about it on detailing world. http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=217518&highlight=colour+wax+test

Personally I hate the look of the Osram Diadem bulbs, that opal type effect they have just doesn't look right and you can still see a touch of orange in certain lights. Check your local motor factors and see what they have as the one near me stocks unbranded silver indicator bulbs for £2.98 a...

The only pic I have of mine at the moment: Ultra red Cup chassis Recaros I've got a 'sprint' spoiler on order from K Tec racing coming soon too (they are out of stock despite what their site says). I'm not a fan of the speedlines and much prefer the anthracite of the standard cup...

Go a short drive to clean up the disks (and wash it if needed) and park it where you like. As stated as long as it's taxed and insured then there is nothing they can do. Sounds like somebody doesn't like where you have parked it and are trying to force you to move it. If the council do move it...

Small drop of thread lock should stop it happening again too.

For you wheels look at Finish Kare 1000p. Fantastic stuff and comes in a huge tin. Or if you feeling a bit flush try G/techniq C5 wheel armour.

Can you feel the scratch with your nail? If so no amount of polish will take it out I'm afraid.

This is it exactly. Was just wondering if it's possible on the 200 as most cars theses days seem to have it and I'm used to if from my previous cars. Not the end of the world if it can't be had on the Clio mind.

Has it been hit by another car? If so report to the police and ask if they arrested any drink drivers in the area and if there was any fresh damage on their car that would match the damage to yours. Hope you get it sorted.

Is there any way to make to indicator flash 3 times with one tap of the stalk? I had this feature on my last car and kinda miss it. It's a 2011 Clio 200.

I know what you mean with the spelling. When the focus was up I checked out the competition and somebody was selling one with 'Ricaro' seats and 'zeon' lights. It was a dealer too.

According to the user manual for my 200 it uses H7 bulbs in both dipped and main beam.

I never believe anything on gumtree esp when I comes to cars. I don't know what it is about that site but I never trusted it. To the point where when I was selling my Focus ST I refused to put it on hunters. I used powerfigures to sell the focus but I had over 4k of receipts to back up the...

My ST Focus had 50 miles when the fuel light came on. I once ran it to zero and kept driving (as I knew there was a lot of petrol stAtions around so I wouldn't be stuck too long) and got 62 miles before I got to scared and got petrol. Still only managed 53.5 litres into a 55 litre tank though...

Hope somebody can help here. I bought some Philips X-tream vision headlight builds for the 200 and from reading about them they are supposed to be a great upgrade. What I'm looking to know is how do you get to the passenger side bulbs to replace them? Now I know I have hands like spades but...

As stated report them to VOSA as they run stuff like that in England (system in NI is very different) and you may also consider the police as is sounds like an attempted fraud to be honest.

Look on detailing world. There are loads of threads on there about wet sanding.

For normal calipers I've only ever used Hammerite and I've never had an issue, no need for overly expensive paint. As for the Brembos try you local accident repair place, they should be able mix up something that's a good match.

I've the Philips ones ordered for the 200. Hope they're as good as people say. (Ordered on Amazon).

Still listed in the brochure (or at least it is in the one I got about two weeks ago), the sales man also said it could still be got but he was a bit of a muppet.

The C1+ kit (not the C1.5 bit), C4 and C5 are all the same product in different bottles. They have all been reformulated and none are the original product anymore. The reformulated product is supposed to offer better scratch resistance, better protection from elements, better durability but have...

As above, they are still making them too. Quite a few round my way but I'd say due to the cost it won't be many.

From a cat back on a n/a car? None to 2 bhp usually. On a turbo car it may be more as back pressure is more critical. A full system inc headers (manifold), down pipe, sport cat/de cat and a re-map may see 10-15 on a n/a car. You'd need a uprated air filter to.

Thieving scrum. Hope you get it back (if you want it back that is). I'll keep an eye out but I doubt it will end up in N.I.

You sure its a private plate. That's a run of the mill Northern Irish registration, Co Antrim I think from a few years ago (6-8 years I think).

I have a very tasty set of real carbon fibre number plate blanks ready to have a reflective front put on. They are really subtle but finish off a car perfectly. I'll post a pic when I get them made up. I got them from carbon mods if you are looking them.

Finally I collected my Clio RenaultSport 200 (FF) today. It's ultra red (as you can see), has the optional Recaros, cup pack and a few other small bits and pieces. I'll get better pics up tomorrow after I wash it but I'm well pleased so far. I've also got a 'sprint' spoiler on it's way from...
