As above really. A chap at work has bought some recently but it has a matt/satin finish. Looking for something with a glossy finish.
Can anyone advise? Or is it best to just laquer over the top?
Tom
Just a quick heads up for all you guys attending CSS, we will be there in the traders section.
We will be taking a selection of 1*2 parts (service parts, brakes, mats, badges, oils etc) which will be offered at heavily discounted prices - yes even more than normal!
If anyone requires...

Just trying to advertise the 200 on pistonheads but it is trying to charge me. It has always been free in the past, when did it change or am I missing something?
Tom
As I can't seem to post in the Cliosport Saturday section, I thought I'd ask here.
What is the deadline for a ticket?
Can they be bought on the door?
Tom
Went over to the Renault Sport factory in Dieppe this week, thought I'd share a few of the photo's we took. Nothing of inside the factory but will try and rob some off the renaultsport.co.uk website.
Sunrise at 5:00am down to Newhaven
Rolling shots...
So 1 year and 24,000 miles on from starting this project I thought I'd make a quick summary of the progress so far :)
Day 1 - standard
To this
Mods so far
Full 172 bodykit inc front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts and front wings
15" Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2
Vmax coilovers
172...
Found this had been done to my 200 at the weekend :(
NSF door kicked in 4 times and OS wing mirror smashed off
3 or 4 cars got done over in the same area, my guess - probably a load drunkens running down the street smashing cars for fun
Fortunately I was able to take it...
After 2 failed attempts at getting my 200 lowered, I am looking for new options.
I have already tried H&R springs and KW V1's coilovers and both do not fit my 200. These are designed for the 197 and early 200's which had the larger front suspension bearings.
My 200 is fitted with much...
Done a few track days now and both at Oulton and Cadwell my tyres have blistered quite badly - especially on the rear.
Now I don't know if this is normal or whether I need to adjust my setup?
Any advice would be great as I don't want to shred my tyres apart!
The 200's second track day was yesterday at cadwell park. Was a very cold start but the sun came out to play around lunchtime!
I've been to cadwell quite a few times before to watch the superbikes but this was my first time on the track, and what a track it is - would recommend it to anyone...
First proper wash and polish of the year with my brother's Accord Type R.
Method:
Wheels Cleaned
Snowfoamed
Insect Remover
2BM with Auto Glym Shampoo and Megs Wash Mitt
Jet Washed off
Dried with Megs Water Magnet
Polished with Poor Boys Black Hole
Waxed with Natty's Paste
The shine it...
Anybody know whether this is possible.
Judging by the size of the caliper, I'm guessing it'll be a worthwhile upgrade.
Where would be the best place to get brackets from and what size discs would you need to run?
Fitting my 888's soon and interested to know what tyre pressures these should be run at for road and track use.
I will be fitting 225/45/17's to standard speedline RS200 rims
Thanks
Got the opportunity to purchase a Williams 2 for less than £500. Its not in the best condition but a couple of bits would see it perfect again.
Considering purchasing it and making a track weapon out of it (to save the 200 on track) or get it tidied up and flog it on?
Not really got anywhere...
Who is attending this from the EA region and are you planning on camping for the weekend. We could organise convoys etc nearer the time.
I'm just waiting confirmation I can have the saturday but is looking promising

Got some 225/45/17 tyres going begging at work. Was gunna use them for my track tyres. Just want to know whether they will rub?
The car will be lowered on H&R springs too.
Tom
Thought I'd best start a progress thread for the 200 too!
So after placing my order in October I finally got to pic the 200 up at the end of November.
I went for a basic cup spec with the black speedline wheels.
Pics on day 1 - can you guess I was happy!
Fitted a steering...
