Looking to pick up a couple CCS pads as I begin my journey into machine polishing, but am a bit baffled by the range of pads available: Yellow - cutting Orange - light cutting White - polishing Black - finishing Blue - finessing I'm thinking Orange and Black will cover most eventualities...?

I 'think' I've got one...

That really depends on what you're using your car for - they've been absolutely fine on the few blasts I've managed this weekend. If you tracking your car then, fair enough, but as a daily drive and some spirited driving they are fine.

Lol, they're fine. The ride is a bit bumpy - unless you're transporting young children, elderlies or you have a particularly bad back, you'll be fine.

A bit difficult to search for '172 Cup'... try it ;)

I quite like it to wash with but it can sometimes feel like it's not doing anything as it has very little suds. Put some in a bucket and then fill with a hsoe with a decent 'power' attachment and she'll bubble up nicely. It is a bit of an AG weak spot, though.

Re: someph-ing different........... Cracking, all ready for some sweet negative camber on the rears... that'll stop the rubbing ;) Fronts look perfect width.

Thanks for more nice comments guys :) The mount is just what Prospeed did mate, I've not looked too closely but they look like small tubes of hard rubber / plastic, zip-tied in place to prevent the mount sagging.

Stunning example. Thin front plate, splitter and lose the rear sticker and she'll be perfect :) In that last pic, how big does your aerial look!?! lol

If you don't want it... :)

Rubbish, fancied an impulse buy this weekend! Would DIY stores stock them, or a similar product?

Don't seem to be available anywhere... Is there a supply problem with them that anyone is aware of? Anyone know of available stocks?

Re: someph-ing different........... Ah right, some nice stretch then!?!

Re: someph-ing different........... FLOL, you're just as bad as all the *****s on here you love to hate so much. f**king 9" fronts - loving the illegal-ness of these sticking their fat asses out past the arches.

205/40's would tramline a bit more than 195's and the 40 profile is going to be pretty thin which will make the ride a bit firmer. Not enough to be a concern though mate - might be worth checking the pressures aren't too high or low.

Lol, from what I've seen thus far... I'll have a proper look in the morning!

Re: someph-ing different........... It's all gone wrong... I'll let Neil fill you all in. :(

Yay, car's back... yeah, and Amy.

I didn't mate, the Cups come without aircon. Well, some later models had Climate Control as an option for the fairies. More of the 'rep' banter! Lol. Not sure what the Apex lower it... I'd say around 40-50mm? They tend to settle quite a bit in the weeks after fitting.

PMSL, when the truck goes past and blasts the air horn *wobble wobble* I ain't putting pics up here for you vultures to swoon over... too many members with perfect surgery enhanced, genius, millionaire girlfriends, who swallow.

Cheers guys, the car definitely revs better and is much smoother lower in the revs. I have to admit I've not really had a chance to properly give her some since it was fitted so can't really comment on top end. Danny - that's how Prospeed are doing it now but I agree, does look a lot better...

FLOL, s**t. Cheers guys, wheels will be refurbed in due course and I'll be tidying up the bumpers / de-denting soon. Then she shall be perfect.

Lol, bullies. I have no idea what kind of state she'll return in...

Absolutely mate, it just takes away that annoying arch gap which doesn't match the shape of the tyre and improves things no end. The pictures don't really show it as much as it looks in 'real life' now - an obvious improvement. Cheers mate, awaiting pics of your new derv cruiser! Will you...

Cheers chaps, looking at the before and after now it doesn't seem much different! It's certainly more difficult to get out of my parents' drive without scraping now! Yeah Nath, I do recall you saying you were going the same time. I wondered off into Cardiff staight after dropping the car off...

Apologies for the rubbish pics, same camera as always but didn't bother with tripod or any of the settings. Got my freshly fitted Apex springs on her last week as well as my Prospeed system with decat, so thought I may as well throw some piccies up. The springs are obviously still to settle a...

Lol, she's been driving my 172's and Golf GTi since she passed her test. First car she drove after passing her test was my old Ph1... her lack of concentration still scares the shat out of me! What did you have done mate? I had an operation on my wrist about 5 years back and still 'didn't'...

Re: iPhone Q&A DONT START ONE QUESTION IPHONE THREADS. **POST HERE** Aye, sorted, cheers. No idea why it wasn't authorised sooner, the store was already set up with my password and I've been using it for a couple weeks!

The missus has gone to Wales for the week, and taken my car with her...:( She returns tomorrow though, missus too unfortunately. Ahem. Odd how much you can miss something so much that you find countless faults with on a daily basis.
