Has anyone had any experience with this stuff? Its a clear urethane film that goes on vunerable parts of the car to protect it from stone chips etc, used in motorsport alot apparently and usually found on the front end of Lambos etc. Anyhow, DIY kits are now available in Halfords and seem...

I've never really given this much thought but I filled up recently and had my usual trouble getting the pumps to register. I very rarely get to a Shell garage but when I do I always have fun trying to get the fuel to start flowing, same thing happens at Tesco when I fill up with 97/99. However...

Just used this company for the first time (thanks whoever has been promoting them!) and I have to say they have been excellent. Quick delivery, paid by PayPal last Friday and it was here yesterday (Monday) at 8am with Amtrak. Superbly packaged as well, had some suspect packaging with car...

Spotted a Black Vee heading East on the M4 today around 2pm between Chippenham/Swindon junction, possibly had lexus lights but not sure as I was going the other way so only seen in rear view mirror.

Williams parked opposite the Bowyers car park today around 1pm, bit of a rare site around these parts. Then a 172 Cup in Tesco car park around 7pm, reg ....WBO, needed a clean!

We've got loads of Megs and Autoglym products here which we use between the two cars, bought loads of stuff a year ago and despite using some stuff alot (NXT Wash, NXT Wax, AG Glass Cleaner etc) a few things have gone unused after trying once and not really getting anywhere with it. Anyhows...

Been thinking about getting another set of these from Renault, would they come ready painted? I only ask because the Cup bump strips are a flat blue (not Mondial as used on the bodywork) and I have no idea what paint I would need. If not I may as well redo my current ones (already got...

Just returned home from my second 200 mile excursion to look at a Valver (actually this time I was going to buy one), still in shock a bit as to what just happened, but let me rewind a week or two... Valver Number 1... Lovely looking Forest Green Valver, good price and was informed it was...

Lots of Clio's at CC today including a Naples Valver amongst many others, any from here? I need flyers to put on windscreens! Also spotted two on the road around 9am this morning, loud White RSi and Arctic 182 near Melksham. Then on the way home around 6pm I passed a Megane F1 again near...

Doing one of my usual twice daily searches of Autotrader for my potential Valver and spotted this... Valver (second one down), 1992, one owner, 32k! Seems a bit good to be true. If its still available at the weekend I will have to arrange a viewing.

Needed a new Conti today (standard 195/45/R16 Cup tyre) Last time I checked Renault wanted about £95 for one of these (not fitted) Went to Bathwick Tyres (local tyre chain) and got one for £58, amazing price imo, even Black Circles want about £70 for them. Anyone found a better price?

In the past 24hrs I've seen the following... Silver 172 Cup - Friday at 4:45pm near Halfords in Trowbridge, looked mint. Inferno Megane 225 - Friday at 6pm outside Hungry Horse in Yarnbrook, Wilts 172 Cup with Carbon Bonnet & huge exhaust - A350 melksham around 10:30am this morning...

Went to see a Valver today which was described as being "in better condition than almost any you will find these days", got all the checks done and mileage/history etc was all spot on. Travelled 200 miles as well which made my day even worse. Arrived to see it and from a distance it looked...

Ok, can people list as many of the options as possible (including MK1 or 2 if they were only specific to a certain one), and if known how common/rare they are? I'm starting to read up on them as I'm going on a viewing spree soon to try and find a mint one, just wondered whats out there...

Missus keeps seeing this one, numberplate along the lines of "TIM P", its a "car like mine" so I imagine its a 172 Cup. Anyone here? Usually between Melksham and Trowbridge I think.

How exactly do you use this stuff? I have a few Megs Terry Towels and from the instructions I apply a little bit on the towel and work it in, then remove the excess when dry. Maybe I'm being dim, but what is a small amount for a single 2inch scratch (pea?), and what technique should you use...

Arctic 182 - White Horse this morning... Then a Black 182 on the A350 near Trowbridge at midday, then a Racing Blue with stripes near Wiltshire College five minutes later (driven by a "mature" lady) Don't see any for weeks then 3 come along in 5 minutes!

Just thought back to what I've actually done over the past 5 weeks or so due to this club, a very mad and varied few weeks, good value for £5... South West Mini Meet - 29/01/06 Gallery Janspeed Rolling Road Day - 18/02/06 Gallery Rallye Sunseeker - 25/01/06 Gallery...

Quite a few out in Weston today, a few key words to mention...thong, dodgems, Outrun (I sucked today), oh and getting a little girl wet by spraying her with a cannon - nice! I even got a suntan out of today, bonus! More here Oh and if anyone wants to see...

Went out to the local Tin Church today to get some pictures of my car for the forthcoming "for sale" thread :dapprove:, was so pleased with the results I thought I would share...

Here we go, my first vid so I learned how to use Windows Movie Maker whilst doing this tonight. Audio left raw as I couldn't bring myself to cover the noise of those Vee's! Download is currently WMV which should be fine for Windows users, if someone wants to convert to MPEG or whatever and host...

Went to get in my car after work today, and, erm, it wasn't my car! Another 53 plate Cup in the bit I normally park in, shocking! I assume it isn't anyone here but you never know... WP53 something was the plate I think.

Great day, regardless of the snow and gale force winds. I'm proud to say I didn't pap the crashed 172 :) Vid to follow in the next day or so. If you want more of your car let me know, I probably have hundreds! And all pics up so far are here...

Printing on window film today and using Word to design what I'm producing, I wanted to print the text and numbers white so I changed the text etc to white. Print it and what happens, it doesn't print the white stuff (I guess it assumes you are printing on white paper so it doesn't bother with...

Not mentioning the usual Cups and things but I spotted two a bit different today. Red 172 & Silver RS1 both on the A36 on the way into Bath this evening, around 5:30pm. Also an Aston Martin and black Focus ST, good day for spots!

Here's a few pics, bit of a Trophy-fest today! Loads more to come, all of which will be found here shortly. I think all the 172/182/Cup/Trophy etc got virtually the same results give or take a few BHP, even the slightly modded ones. Higher mileage...

I think this must be online somewhere but I was given a DVD today with a TOCA Race Driver 3 documentary on it, Louise Brady drives a Clio Cup round Oulton Park, then does it on TOCA 3, a few screen shots for you as I don't think many are around of the Cup's in TOCA, looks brilliant!

Spotted last night around 10:30pm, seemed to be dropping someone off maybe. No Cup suspension pack I think as wheels were silver.

Had a short notice mini-meet down here in West Wiltshire today, suprisingly good turnout considering it was organised in a Spotted thread! We did Granada Services, Warminster >> White Horse, Westbury (kite flying) >> Aldi (!!!) >> KFC Frome (eating!) >> Longleat House >> Shearwater >> Home...

Parked outside Beales in the town centre at lunch time today, needs a clean! And for those that say Renaultsport's are common, on my 120 mile run today I spotted one 182, but 11 Porsche 911s! Saw a Lincoln Navigator as well, hideous junk!
