I bought a bottle of touch up paint that I had mixed a few weeks ago. I was intending on touching in a couple of nicks on the edge of the door but haven't got round to it yet. How long is it supposed to last? The bottle has its lid on obv, but wondered whether it starts to go thick and horrible...

^ A GTi6 may be buit better than a 172, but not better than a 172 cup. All IMO.

You need to prove he did it at that time, and not you when you drove home, or back to complain. Take the £10, don't go there again.

Depends on the height of the Ktec's I had mine silly low and it was alot stiffer than it is now raised up 10mm. And today a few months on its stiffer than 172 cup standard setup, but not a great deal.

The 306 is more likely to kill a pedestrian than a 1*2.

All arguments aside, the GTi6 is better than the 1*2

^ you have movement there from the suspension if the jack fails

Yeah Dave I was on that forum. Dangti6 was my username.

Yeah, you will see what looks like box section running the length of the car

I usually just up on the rails, and put an axel stand under the subframe if I am doing work to the suspension etc.

You will see the chassis rail about 6 inches or so back underneath. Put a bit of wood on your jack if you are using a trolley jack with the metal cup bit and jack it on that.

Nice barges. I was offered one a while back but ideally wanted a post facelift 530 Sport. One day. Wheels are cool.

Maybe it was an airplane?

If they were using cheap crappy bearings I could understand it. Maybe they are using Motrio ones? I would have thought these would still be good quality though.

Can someone who has cable tied it for the MOT, show a picture of which way they tied it for future reference? My rears have the same stopping power as Tiger Woods' sexual temptation, so would like to see if this makes much difference or if I have issues eleswhere.

I figured this thread is a good excuse to post some pics up of my old 6

No its never been on a track. I do get days where I go places that have interesting roads and I hoon it around and it handles well and pulls nicely, but for the last year I have mainly just used it for the mile journey to work or the shops. When I had my 535i Sport I did like jumping back into...

What started it was reading the thread comparing the 172 cup to a GTi6. I genuinely enjoyed that car alot more than the clio. It just felt like it was built better. Half the problem I think is the condition of it. I love the look of it when its clean, but don't have the gear or facilities to...

Had my Cup about 18 months now and I seem to be at a stage where i'm not happy with it. I look at it sometimes and don't like the lines of it and wish I had something else. Had it standard for about a year, then I fitted some coilovers and changed the wheels to have a different look. I am...

Pliers or molegrips and a bit of elbow.

Amazing. Would love to see an invoice for that lot!

A retro BMW is what you want.

When I first got my Cup I thought it was quiet loud for standard compared to other cars I had owned. At least she can't moan if you make it louder! Or she may make you buy a Diesel.

Go into Renault and ask for exterior stickers. They will bring up a page full of random graphics that you have never seen before with part numbers. It's probably one of them.

How did it go? What's she push out in reverse?

Just listen to the guys at the Dyno place.

Someone has put them on. You can even get Playstation stickers from Renault

Dude, if the place is worth their weight they will do everything for you and explain the figures etc. when they did mine they just drove it through the first 3 gears slowly and then put it in 4th as its a long gear and revved the whole way through it. Thats how you get your peak etc. Fred can...

Ive had dyno's done in 4th also. That is what the place did it in, I had no input I just trusted their knowledge!
