Due to these annoying little beggars... (bottom left)
And also a couple bits that need touching up since I've has paintless dent removal done (which was excellent btw :D), I'm going to attack it with a touch up pen.
Question 1: Are the bumper bits too big to tackle with a touch up pen...
Lots of bits and pieces: games, DVD's, signed Steve Coogan pic, signed Steve Lamacq book, varioud fragrances, etc..

Got a couple of grey pixels on my TV, so am assuming they're frozen and not dead... :dead:
Apparently there is a method which may unfreeze them, what is this aforementioned method?
That's it really, can't be buggered to clean the car - got tree sap all over it, a front bumper that's peeling and weather that's as reliable as a tampon for a straw.
Saw Matt I think: Trophy with a Carbon bonnet anyway, travelling West on the M4, just by Cardiff.
Also saw a Liquid Yellow 182 on the M5 by Exeter, and Racing Blue 182 by Middlemoor in Exeter.
Following me along the Tiverton-Exeter road right into Exeter, turned off by Vue.
Am sure you would have noticed me if you're on here, you were behind me for long enough!
Think it's my new favourite 1*2 colour, gorgeous in the sunlight.
Ordered yesterday, turned up today, can't ask for more than that.
Well, it would've helped if I wasn't working so could actually have been home when they were delivered - collect them tomorrow.
Cheers Dave. :)
Got closer to sorting the car for next Sunday today, 2xEGP and P21s just for fun - will do the same again on Friday!
I'm impressed with the flake popping I'm getting, normally I find Titanium 647 difficult to get a decent flake.
Have also been refurbing my wheels over the last...
Stupid things.
Right, everyone says "just slide off" and I have removed them before, but these things won't budge now!
Any 'tricks' anyone's got for getting them off? Need to give them a proper clean.
This rain's been around for a couple of weeks at least now, if it stays for that long again it'll be FCS time with no chance to get the car looking good.
That, and working all the time, means I'm running out of time...
I need 8 new wheel bolts as my existing ones are rusted and look horrible. I'm also concerned they're starting to cross-thread as well.
Where's the best place to pick them up cheap? I've currently got 4 so only need 8 more.
I understand it's applied after all spraying has taken place, when dry and lacquer is hardening.
What purpose does it serve?
Is it 'essential'?
Where can you get it from?
Ta. :)
Over a fairly large area, would you suggest passing the spray over the area and very gradually building up layers? ie: If a bit is missed or not coated heavily enough, just leave and spray again once the current layer is dry, NOT try to spray that particular area?
I'd imagine if you try to...
Only temporary mind, I quite like the look but feel the car needs to be a lot lower to pull them off properly!
Mine are getting a DIY refurb - it could all end in tears! Getting the bloody things off today was bad enough.
Saw a Racing Blue 182 avec le stripes today, about 6:15pm on Western Way, looking tasty.
And a blue 197 yesterday leaving Heavitree, possibly StormForce?
Will 14" steelies, off a Mk1 Clio I believe, fit on my standard Ph1 172?
It is not a style or a performance choice, just a temporary measure whilst I get my wheels off for refurbishing...
I'm not sure if they'll clear the caliper on the fronts though, as it's tight on the standard alloys.
Travelling Eastbount on the M4, around Cardiff... a lovely black 225 following me for a good half an hour so would've posted on here if they'd been a member I'd have thought.
Anyone know what colour silver the Ph1 172 (and, in fact, probably all silver alloy) wheels are? Have decided I'm going to try to do a DIY refurb before shelling out for a pro job, so would appreciate someone knowing what colour I should be buying.
Am planning on getting it from auto-paint, so...
I've recently formatted my hard drive and reinstalled windows, etc from scratch.
Now, for some reason, the @ key comes up as ", and vice versa. Various keys across the keyboard have been inverted in what I assume is the American version. For example, I also have no pound symbol!
What option...
How do you format a Hard Drive?
Odd question, but in the past I've always had a recovery disc which has done it for me. Now I just have my copy of windows, which I want to put onto the Hard Drive once everything's been wiped clean, but obviously I can't format the HD whilst in Windows, because...
I've just formatted my hard drive abd reinstalled Windows and all the essential programs to get it running better, as I do every so often..
... but my speakers aren't playing any sound and I imagine it's because the drivers aren't installed. How do I go about finding what drivers I need? Is it...
Saw a lovely looking Liquid Yellow R27 in Plymouth yesterday, about 3pm just outside the new shopping centre.
Oh, and a Ph1 172 waved at me on Sunday as I was driving towards Neil's for a little meet up. I assumed it was Neil or Justin, but turned out not to be, so someone else was in the...
