Began my mates Focus RS today, clayed it earlier in the week so the paintwork was all ready to go, so a quick wash to begin with. A few before shots showing the extent of the swirling/RDS: Now, I had the following bits: Intensive polish Power Gloss Megs diamond cut Final finish...

I could do it mate, drop me a pm, i'm in spondon.

Tried to fit one for Slammed172 today when I played with his coilovers, could nto do it to save my life!! Is there a nack to getting it on, or just persevere slipping about in grease until you get lucky?!

Photography ruins another promising young lad....

Shouldnt have posted them up dude!

That has changed my mind completely on ph1's, good work! Looks sweet as a nut, sweet like tropicana

That right there is 2 out of my top ten garage! However, for top 3, only one of them would make it, and it isnt the choice most on here would make.....

The coilovers will come with all you need, however I would recommend getting some solid front top mounts, these will give better feel as your standard ones are probably shagged anyways. As for the measurements, I cant remember which dimension is the cup packed ones, but if you search on here...

What top mounts you gone for? Full stiff at the rear will count for some good oversteer, I had fun with this on mine :D

Cheers Danny.

I know this is a sign of HGF, however I'm sure it's a fairly common thing on these engines, both my old 1.2's had it. There is tons of coolant and none is being used. The car is used daily for a 22mile round commute so it isnt a particularly short journey. Anyone shed some light?

H&R, AST, KW all 100% do kits for the cup packed 182's. H&R would be last on the list for me, I've had AST and H&R, dont rate the H&R as much as everyone else does. Heard very good things about KW's.

Its started now :S No fault copdes showing on the dah test etc, ECU wires arent damaged. told her to get it to a garage for a proper check.

Unsure on dash lights, just gonna ring her again. Its happened before.

Whats the main things to check? Apparently was fine before but now wont crank over. Thanks

Looking like it will be back to mint again soon Steve. Gutted hearing about all of this, I'm sure I've made 3 trips up to you guys for work and never seen the car! I'll be up again at some point though with my V6....may see it then ;)

I see your point, but it's had new bumper bonnet and wing and it looks mint.... I dunno, might just leave it I guess.

^ Yeah, but would it look stupid with the car being standard? Depends on price as would rather keep the car standard, but if it comes in a whole lot cheaper then I guess I will. Or, do the whole car a mad colour?!?!

Next idea....vinyl wrap on the roof and bootlid? Would it look good? What colour? Carbon? Rest of the car will be staying standard, but this will be a cheaper alternative to spraying........

Once it's sorted it will be kept perfect, its just getting it to that stage! Thing is, I'm impatient! I can't wait a few months to get it good etc, needs to be done asap! Guess I'll get a quote from my bodyshop when I collect the spoiler...

Been in touch with a pro, he's gonna have a look over it for me at some point, said if he can do it he will. Fingers crossed.

^ yeah it was! Although if I had noticed it being this bad I probably wouldnt have bought it to be honest.......live an learn though, I'll just get my wallet out...

:( Gutted! Cheers for the replies boys!

Not sure Dave, the rest of the car came up fairly well from being faded, but these have just had a lot of sun on through the years.....reallly not wanting to get them sprayed.......

Trying to get my Teg up to scratch, but its not working. The process is Megs diamond cut, on a Menzerna cutting pad, did nothing :( Then used a Lake Country cutting pad with Power Gloss to even it out a bit. Removed TONS of RDS and swirls, but still not touched the fading/oxidisation. A...

i'm in derby, charge 30

I don't care about anything other than it looks horrendous, sorry mate! No amount of talent with a camera will hide that fact; fun to drive or not.

R32 is the best, but not with the gay carbon on the front, looks so stupid its unreal. Somethign about the stance looks gay as hell too...

Contrary to popular belief, v-tec is actually always kicking in......y0. Many just do not realise this. Badly needs an s2k aerial to tidy the back end up though!

Despoilered it today! Dropped it at the bodyshop to be sprayed, hoping the roof will polish up when Luke stops conning me and drops off the G220! Looks wierd with no spoiler!!
