Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project :D Bang up some photos when it's on! :approve:

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Love how it looks with the black base manifold and black anodised parts! :cool:

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project I'm certainly swaying towards the standard diamond again at the moment. :approve:

My iceberg photographs in exactly the same way sometimes. The rear quarter appears a totally different shade to the door/wing.

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Not really a big or important decision, but, replacing my damaged splitter... I'm not sure whether to get another gloss finished carbon splitter, to match my front diamond. Or, get a matt finished splitter and put the original silver/chrome diamond back on...

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Tomorrow mate. :cool: Tom's sorted it. :) Cheers, Dave! :approve: How are you enjoying the Mazda? :)

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project I have the midilite calipers :) These ones, running Ferodo DS2500 pads at the moment. Probably the best/closest photo I have of the caliper.

I painted the visible hub black, such an improvement over the rusty look. :)

I thought the streamline one was pre-preg moulded, whereas the k-tec was fibreglass covered in carbon. I'll have a look into it. It's actually cracked it; it's taped up for now! Haha!

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project The rallye looks in fantastic condition; very impressed by it. I'll keep an eye out for your Clio. :)

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project No worries, mate. I appreciated you taking the time to reply earlier when you wern't at work. :) I don't think anyone will deny couriers aren't always the most reliable service. Hopefully they'll bring it on Monday. :)

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Tom said he''ll track it and let me know when he has a chance :) No, I've never used one before. I followed the guide over on detailing world (very comprehensive, explaining and showing every step). Basically, it tells you to start with as light a...

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Sadly, no delivery this morning :( probably with it being Saturday. Assuming it was collected from JMS yesterday as planned, hopefully it'll arrive Monday. :)

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project I was considering doing this. Still am thinking about it tbh. :o

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project The AD08's have steel sidewalls :) Looking forward to using them tbh. Should be this morning. :evil: Thanks! :) If you were going down the cammed route, you could consider the JMS RS2 intake also.

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project I got them from Tesco tyres, however, the price has gone up slightly from when I ordered (Wednesday night) :S Very good service, as it's just through black circles, but with clubcard points. I paid £312 for the 4 tyres :)

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Hoping they'll be very good. From comments/reviews I've read, it seems they're in another league to the Parada's, which tbh I've been really happy with! :)

Re: Clio 172 Cup Project!! Looking good mate! :D Summer plans will be good! :evil:

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project There's still a little bit of life in my Parada's yet, but these were on special offer from blackcircles/tesco tyres. So, I thought I may as well get them now and have them ready. 1276 tesco clubcard points from them too ;) :rasp:

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Returned home from work this afternoon to find my AD08's have been delivered. :D

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Yes mate. The kit included the DAS-6 polisher, compounding pad, polishing pad, finishing pad, course compound polish, fine compound polish. :)

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project After the machine polisher arrived yesterday, I've spent today going over the car with it! I first started with a finishing pad and a light polish, before assessing the results. Although it looked better, there were still marks/stratches/swirls in the paint, so I...

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Oh I just noticed you're from Leicester. Quite a few Cliosport members in the area. :) I'll keep an eye out for your silver cup.

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Direct from Speedline, they're about £500 without tyres. :) It's much better when driving; the steering feel is fantastic compared to before. Cleaned using Dodo Juice Supernatural shampoo. When polishing I have been using SRP followed by EGP, but I'll be...

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Some more updates, while I think about it. The RS2 intake should be leaving JMS tomorrow, meaning it will be with me shortly after! :D 2011 spec RS2; powder coated black jenvey base and anodised black aluminium shiny bits :evil: I've also, literally 2...

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Originally, I got some from car electronics ltd in Leicester, it was really wide strong stuff. It was used in their workshop for various jobs and was so much better than the stuff I'm using now. This stuff is just self adhesive velcro strips, nothing special. :)

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Yes it's velcro'd :) Had plates velcro'd on for the past 3 years or so and it's been no problem so far.

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project My machine polisher arrived this afternoon. DAS-6 polisher, couple of polishes and pads (compounding, polishing and finishing) :) I gave it a try this afternoon on the bonnet, which was one of the worse areas paint wise on my car, and was really pleased with...

I like it, works for me :)

Westy sounds fun/handful!! :approve: Definitely interested in having a look at the videos :) I'm sure the majority would also!
