Yup. Don't see the issue tbh.

Yeah, it worked fine. I normally wouldn't go that low but there was some deep marks that had to come out and I didn't want to spend ages with 1200. I wouldn't go any lower than 800 and I wouldn't dare use 600 on paint. I wouldn't dare use less than 1500 myself tbh.

B5 avant fwends. Cracking job on the upgrades already haha Odd question but can you picture the levers for folding the rear seats down for me please.

I've considered a map but that's the price of track time, tyres or car parts. Can't really justify it tbh

Mid way down this page shows the sort of finish you're after http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?32497-What-is-Wet-Sanding#9K5MHbh53L7iyXSY.97

No! Sorry, keying is the phrase used to sand (with fine paper, p1500+ job dependant) the surface to give the paint something to 'key' (stick) to. You're not aiming to remove any paint when keying, just to dull the finish. I'll link something later when my stupid internet decides to work

No sorry, the clio one, if you click on my name there should be a link to it. If you can't find it I'll link you later

Superturismos! Cool! Have a look in my project thread. I refurbished my track wheels for the price of some filler and black paint. Key the surface inc the curb marks. Fill with metal filler. Sand flat Prime Paint Lacquer

A couple of years back, I left my car running for 20/30 mins before going on a rolling road and it was still on the cold map. Made 160bhp on that. Shat myself lol

Brilliant! Glad to hear :D

Here's one I made earlier 800, 1200, 1500, 2000 then polished with a machine and G3 scratch remover.

Ah. Did you spend a while with each grit? And autoglym polishes aren't really any good for removing sanding marks. If you can, pick up some G3 scratch remover from Halfords. I'd add 1500 grit in between 1200 and 2000 then go to 2500+ if you're polishing by hand afterwards

@rupes1351 how did you Dans and polish your headlights? What process and tools did you use?

Fuuuuu. Haha

Have you plugged it in to a code reader? @bloke may have some insight

Disconnect each coil/plug and see if it gets worse or stays the same?

Small world, I'm originally from Sunderland. Like ron said, get yourself along to cliosport saturday. It's not too far from you being at blyton park

Hi and welcome It's great to see north east members popping up! Where are you from?

That'll be on @leeds_182 s drive in no time.

Sacriledge!

Make shelving. Make a home/box/shelf/cupboard/tray etc for everything and put it all back when you're done. Even get a little roller cabinet to keep tools on so you've only got a few out at a time

I need a garage :(

Snigger, erection. Will read the op now.

What's wrong with 10mm poke?

Why the f**k did they not make that spoiler an option?! It genuinely makes the car. It even makes those awkward wheels work I was going to suggest white like the cup racers but I think the wheels are the issue. They need something chunky. Like the mk3 speedlines. But I don't think they...

105nm iirc. One click then stop. Unload after use. I've not used one but people seem to rate Halfords tools in general. If you know anyone who works in a garage see if they can get the calibration guy to check it for you?

Yeah he sent me some pics, you'll have to get a build thread up, your restorations are brilliant :D

My car has recaros and they were pictured together a lot, did you not just confuse mine for the 200?
