Thanks for the comments.
Wing mirrors are the same as the wheels, and it looks stupid! So they will be done body colour over Christmas when I get my wheels done black.
Do really want to keep it so will see what work brings, struggle to work anymore than I already do though!
Hoovered the inside of the c ar after work and decided to go for a thrash and some pics.
Didn't go too far but used 1/4 of a tank!
Possibility it might have to go start of next year due to mortgage renewal and new kitchen needed, but hopefully not.
Want to do lots to it but if...
I got my 182 at 19, paid £1800 FC for it with 2 ncb.
Try all the specialist companies, Adrain Flux for example, I paid a lot less for it being on a modified policy too.
Is this stuff any good?
I've got a new van and it's pretty noisy at motorway speeds, so was thinking of getting some dynamat and putting it on the roof, sides and doors?
Will it make any difference?!
Or is there a cheaper alternative, it doesn't need to look pretty!
Might help the image if you had silver wheels mate to be honest, black contrasts a lot with the light brown of your car.
You'll love it again once the suspension is sorted though.
Although image counts for a lot though in the wide world of work / business. I used to look a right idiot in my...
I had a mortgage a year before I bought my 182, which was paid for outright including insurance!
Some people are just more sensible with their money and can afford a nice car young.
£10k?! Where were you looking?! I got mine before you I think and paid £6k for a minter!
If it was me personally I'd sell up / strip it and get something else, but thats just me.
Depends if you find it unbearable to drive etc or just fancy a change.
Gave Sargara's new 200 cup a quick whip over on Saturday, followed by EGP and 2 coats of was.
As expected it came up like new being only 250 miles old!
Also gave the megane a quick wash whilst the cup dried properly. Safe to say I think I've bought the wrong car! Never really liked 200's, even...
I understand you're into it more than me dude, I'm past that due to not really having the time.
And you're not coming across as a c**t.
I'll happily put on his car whatever he wants, if he wants to spend £100 on stuff then fair play to him, as I said I just mentioned those products as they're...
Neither of us are Pros (probably pretty obvious!) But my opinion of EGP was something decent for 'the masses' as such.
I honestly don't see how it will cost more money in the long run and be detrimental to the paintwork, I'm not trying to remove defects etc, purely just want to coat the paint...
Talking in riddles to me mate to be honest!
Whats wrong with EGP?!
I no longer have a machine polisher, so just going to be by hand.
Products I listed are just what I've got on the shelf so thats why I mentioned them.
I'm the guy who James has asked to do his car basically.
This is what I was going to do:
Wash and dry, megs shampoo gold stuff.
Then some EGP.
Then 2 coats of Chemical Guys Paste Wax.
Obviously I have a good wash mit, drying towels, applicators etc but thats the basic theory.
PersonallyI...
Not a lot at all!
Dropped the car off Friday. Rang Monday and they couldn't find a problem so I went in Tuesday, took the car out with a Tech to demonstrate the problem and he agreed it wasn't right, booked it back in when we got back and bobs your uncle.
Picked the car up from the Stealers after having a new gearbox under warranty. Also got a clutch kit fitted as well since the labour was free!
Put up a temporary garage for it as well to keep it out of the s**t weather, I don't drive it much so don't want to end up cleaning it more than I drive...
