    182 with V6 air box - should there be a cold air feed?

    leave it as it is. Andz, make sure the feed from the fog isn't direct into the filter, works and breathes much better if it is just directed towards the filter and not the only source into it.

    182 with V6 air box - should there be a cold air feed?

    On the work computer so can't see the pic. I ran the espace V6 box with a 9" pipe coming off towards the back of the headlight. I tried no feed, a small feed to headlight and one down to the foglight, No feed and the filter felt hot as soon as I stopped, small feed seemed fine, foglight feed...

    Re: Winter Protection Detail - Gtechniq C1/FRP/ASW Content Ect... don't know how I missed this. I'm very surprised at the depth of the paint for a sealant, more so than the car I saw C1 it on, a blue Mk5 R32. Didn't realise Craig coming to London was for the GT job, will have to try and...

    Trim help needed!!

    AF revive is the best non permanent dressing I've used, but struggled on the front splitter against the elements, still holding after initial application everywhere else. If the exhaust surrounds have really dried out anything will struggle to bring them back to life, so I painted mine. C4 is...

    Cup winter prep noob content

    the thinner you put it on the better, put on more and it is wasted when buffing it off, plus it's much harder to remove

    2 coats of HD wax on my clio lasted 5months. performance wise it's worth its money, but there are slightly easier waxes to use and give a better finish at a loss in durability.

    I do like the finish of revive and on en-exposed trim it works great like wipers, wing mirrors, but didn't last long on mudflaps, arch liner, splitter. For this I'm hoping C4 will live up to its expectations.

    JD, how did you get on with the C4 on the arch liners? Just got a 30ml pot and doing the mud flaps, grilles etc and considering the liners.

    CD Changer and Aux cable - Is it possible to run both?

    think it depends on which OEM headunit you have, I think you should be OK in a 182. I use the CD changer and an AUX input cable with my standard HU. used a cable like this one http://floridadaz.weebly.com/enjoy.html

    Maybe, and good luck to them. But I'm not willing to give out full details of car and address to someone that is a little suspicous. But then if his English is that bad he wouldn't get on very well trying to buy a car off an English person that doesn;t speak German or trying to get past customs...

    Car covers advice required

    I don't know what the weathers like in Yorkshire but it's not always raining in Essex therefore I can put the cover on when it's not wet and keep off the snow / ice / tree debris etc. If the cars going to be inside a covers a bit of a waste of time then surly?
