Thank you :)

Yeah, hard to get a decent spec too with Recaro's and Cup chassis. It's about 10MPG up on the R26, but I'm prepared to take the hit financially. I'd imagine a Stage 2 R26 would give the 175 remapped a good spanking

Indeed, and had no soul at all I'm surprised how many people like it, thanks all :)

Cheers :) Nobody on here - one of my detailing customers...

I might be able to keep up in this mate, lol!! Your car is bloody quick! Neil - Bedford in April hopefully :) Cheers everyone!

Cheers :) Do I just call Forge up and go collect directly?

MUCH torquier and easier to get going, but I really have to keep an eye on the speedo now as I'm used to working the Clio quite hard. Better traction and power out of roundabouts etc too - the LSD and Turbo work really well together. If I miss NA, I'll get a 200... but I don't think I...

I did well with the R27, gave it a once over with a light finishing polish yesterday and it's totally swirl free again! It's mint too, had a new steering wheel, new Recaro and alloy refurb in the past few weeks!

I know :( I'm hoping machine polished a bit of Zaino will give it a nice bit of bling - we'll see! Swirl free heaven though after 3 black cars on the trot!

16MPG and a quarter of a tank in about 20 mins? :)

Yeah, sick of the swirls on mine!! Silver is a godsend!

Do you think I should add the decals? Will cost me £120ish

I did until I drove one! Test drove the DCI175 last Friday and hated it. I'll have to take the financial hit - will be about £100 a month more this way

Cheers :) I'll see how long I can hold off before Stage 1 goes on there...

After just under 12 months' ownership, I've decided to part ways with my R27 and change it for an R26 Megane. The Clio is a great car, but perhaps not the best on the motorway. When you're in the mood for it, it's massive fun, but when you're not, it can feel like a chore... or maybe I'm...

Tyre dressing fail :p Looks great :)

I'd be up for that too :)

Phil Wheatley? Surely, with that car history?? If it is... Ste you numpty!! Welcome :) Russ

I'm famous! Lol :) Good luck with the sale mate.

They are RS4 replica's I think - I'll try and get a shot for you. It's a lovely motor for it's age and price! Running 250BHP

Happy to do it... you got a BG182 now?

Cheers folks :)

Copy and Pasted from DW... Today's mission was to breath a bit of life into this 2001 Octavia vRS. The car is owned by DW's very own Bandit Barron, who I've got to know quite well over the years from selling him a few bits and pieces. Plan for today was for Dave to clean the car, cook...

Lol? Are you David or Stephen? Are you promoting yourself??

Will do mate The kits from Paints4U are pretty good. I'll take lots of pics. Hopefully the Mirka sanding pads allow less room for error than the Megs pad and paper

I'm doing mine this afternoon - got keyed a while ago I tried to do my previous cars bonnet too after I got egg'd, but I didn't use enough paint.

Yes, but again I'd want to see previous work I CAN but I'm not comfortable doing other peoples' cars yet. They need filling, wet sanding flat, then machine polishing, but the wet sanding process needs a fair amount of skill...

I'd say £120 minimum is a fair price for an 'amateur enthusiast', assuming it's a small priced car. Ultimately, paint correction isn't rocket science, any fool can cut the crap out of a panel using FCP and a cutting pad to remove the swirls, but it does take a little bit of skill to use the...

Was that you?? A few weeks ago?

No I'm not! LOL I pay £15 from my rep though, which is a decent price :)
