Yep, thats my thoughts. After PC'ing it Monday, i had to leave it outside. So washed it again before i started today (rained in the night) and when i used the chamois i was convinced it was marring the finish even after giving the car a good long rinse. I'll investigate, thanks for the advice!!!

Thank god for that. Its hard work!!! How anybody can do that as a job 5 days a week is beyond me!!! I might need to invest in some 4" spot pads, struggled with the front bumper especially.

b*****d just replied on the other thread! I'm scared to wash it now though! What kind of chamois do you recomend? I'm currently using a megs sythetic jobbie, but i'm now scared of marring the finish :(

Yep seemed good to me :) Its hard work though, least its done now.I take it i probably wont need to use the intensive polish again if i look after it? Just apply final finish from time to time?

Only wheel change and a good drop...ish? good work ;) Well its alot better than the normal white masking tape, seemed good to me! Halfords also do it.

search Christoper /makavelli ;) You've been warned (standardish) :)

The fit on the k-tec is supurb (mk2 stealth) Never had such an adjustable system.... but the noise with a decat man..... rrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaassssspp!!! f**king horrid. It lasted a week lol

B&Q :o

Nearly ordered some, but cleanyourcar was out of sock :(

Yep H&R's chap. Could go lower (my old Cup was), but happy with the set up, doesn't catch any arch linings at all. Result!

Better (ish) supposidly lighter. Yours is a 182 Cup. It should have anthricite alloys.

black is a b*****d!! Mondial Blue was much more user friendly!

Tell me about it, its pissing down outside now :(. Think i need some 50/50 too, don't have a decent wax to top it up yet. Oh and no. The recaros are mine out of my Cup, i hated the standard 'high chairs' ;) couldn't wait to swap them over!

Not tried anything else, Shaun? (182 blue) pointed me in its direction :o. Seems good imo :)

Won't match, not blue ;)

f**k that!!! Bet yours is in worse state than mine was ;) ;) I really dont know how anybody could do this as a job!!!!

lol, its had the full works ;)

Lots of bloody elbo grease lol. Bloody PC'ing this was HARD work lol. Basic run down..... Full clay of car with megs quick clay, PC'd with Menzerna intensive polish on yellow pad.... then final finish on the white pad. Then full SRP by hand (prefer it that way), followed by EGP x2. Then added...

Well after a major PC session yesterday, i finished it today, (between the showers :dapprove:) so here are a few pics of my new(ish) 182 :cool: Start off proceedings, just been clayed and washed down (no 'getto' before pics lol, left the wheels till later :o ) Enjoy..... Pics of how bad...

Exactly.

i put it in the van screenwash if that helps?

You been in a saxo? lol

Two tins of tyre weld. Took out the tool kit, Whats the point in having a jack if you have no spare? lol. All adds weight ;)

Could be the ecu bracket..... common problem

mucho better :)

insurance dont like them, harder to sell......... If there were two identical cars.... one import, one UK, it would be the UK one every time for me :)

hhhmmmm But the BTB (182) which has probaby had the most development of any off the shelf system gained 1hp and a couple of torque.... no exhaust on the 172 has been tested for gains that i can think of?

import!

Love that 172, very very nice example :) I need the brakes ;) What suspension is it sat on?
