You can also buy my 182 Dan, if you like. Or swap for your Rx-8!
My thumb grips have lasted quite well, they're starting to wear, but they're not horrific!
I think that the worst part of this car is the "Vtec This" sticker. Monumentally gay. Otherwise, I don't mind the orange details, I wouldn't personally have it on my car, but it's not the worst thing I've seen in the world. Apart from that, nice car!
Yeah, I don't rinse with a pressure washer usually, so I'd understand if it works out better that way. It's more for the drying stage that it irritated me, rather than polishing - I found I had to use drying aids on top of my towels to get it to a respectable finish. Once it was done, it did...
I guess it is, yeah - I assumed (wrongly) you were talking about the dust and sap rubbish that generally accumulates on your car when you park below a tree...
I machine polished mine, and they came out with no trouble at all. I didn't even use that heavy a pad/polish combination, FYI I used a...
See, I never got on with Gold Class, I found it too soapy, so it streaked a bit, if I'm honest. I much preferred NXT.
I'm in the same frame of mind as Ads, I'm tempted by the Auto Finesse range!
That sounds like it could be the problem, our neighbour has a berry tree of some description, and they do fall off in the wind. It hadn't marred the paint in the same way bird droppings do, but I think I'd just caught them in time, tbh. Cheers JD!
I got mine from i4detailing - the lances are £44.95, before CS discount, and you need to buy the Nilfisk Alto one. It then comes ready to fit, and is 10000000 times better than the one that Nilfisk supply!
There's a guide on DW about filling stone chips - would the same principle apply to this scratch, or not? I've got some awful scratches on my roof, think it's been keyed, I need to get them sorted too :(
Some of the cars look nice, they're all just...the same? Like silvervisions and turinis, but on a VAG. As for the crowd, there seemed to be a lot of "hoods up" activity, and the A3 driver deserved to get his key snapped by the looks of things.
I started playing this again yesterday too. I just can't get into it :( Is it worth playing Fallout 3 first, or are they totally different? I got as far as making Healing Powder and speaking to the bartender in Goodridge before I got bored :(
For transfer updates, it's worth trying FM-Base. They usually have transfer patches. As for CD Keys, will any work? As in, would mine work for you, even if I still use mine?
Nope, too small!
They're the same size as water spots would be, but they're not. They're just...haze? I wish I'd taken pictures now, but it was quite hot so I didn't want to spend long machine polishing.
I did initially think that, as there is a large tree at the edge of my driveway. But if that was the case, then the whole car would have the same thing, Shirley? But it's limited to just the bonnet :(
No, it's 100% not water spotting. All of the marks are just haze, as opposed to water spotting. That's why I was a little concerned, even though they seem to have gone with a bit of machine work, I don't want them reappearing :(
Kinda a weird one here. I don't have any pics of it either, which makes it harder :(
Imagine hazing, from a buffer, on your paintwork. Now, whilst cleaning my car today, after I rinsed, I noticed that my bonnet was covered in little hazy "spots" on one side. These spots were the size of a...
The Menz kit was out of stock when I got mine from i4D, settled for the Sonus kit as I couldn't wait. It's a piece of piss to use as long as you're switched on, so I wouldn't worry!
Actually the oil filters ARE a b**ch on 182's. Mine certainly was, I used a chain strap and couldn't get it off - even with the fuel rail guard off. In the end I had to smash right through it with a screwdriver, not just pierce it, and turn it a little bit at a time. So no need to get shirty ;)
Spanking it in a 30mph zone - Park Road, you were doing near double that, overtaking a 106. The road is residential on one side, and has a playpark on the other. So well done, you're really cool, and I'm sure the 15 year old girl you had in the back seat was dripping wet.
Tool.
