You get a s**t reception with the aluminium ones , the CTR ones don't fit that well , they overhang the base . I think the modus have a shorter beesting aerial , you could try one of them . Summat like mine , but i nicked mine of an Opal Corsa in Menorca lol ;)
BEFORE.
AFTER.
Where are you feeling the vibration ? Through your steering wheel , from your rear discs ?? :S I'd check the condition of the discs first before comong to the assumption they are knackered because of some vibration .
Rear discs usually last a long time . Minimum thickness is 7mm .
Like guysy said . Spray it in the lid . I'm not a fan of the touch up sticks as they always seem a bit on the thick side so don'tfill the chip as well as the slightly thinner aerosol paint . Plus the touch up sticks are only 15ml and cost more than a 400ml aerosol ;)
Ignore the NV bit 676 is Pearl black . Go to a local motor factors that mixes paint in aerosols .
Here is a good guide on stone chips .

Postcode probably makes the biggest difference . I've just got a quote off Directline using my postcode , then 2 of my mates . One mate was 30 quid less , the other who lives in what would be regarded as a desireable place is £165 less .
If was easy , lots of people would have probably done it by now , and they haven't . Good luck if you can find an easy and effective way of doing it . Pics would be required ;)
I'm amazed at how many people claim to experience 36, 37.... + mpg , thats getting on for 400 miles on a full tank , i'm very doubtful your getting anywhere near these figures in reality . I've always averaged around 28mpg in my 182 and my 172 . Maybe i have a heavy right foot , lol . I've just...
Wax seems to hold a static charge therefore attracts alot of dust . Even these so called antistatic quick detailers don't seem to do much from my personal experience .
Don't know who's it is , but i've seen a LY 182 Blackpool quite a few times when i'm visitin my brothers . I don't think it's anyone off here as they never wave lol .
You don't say what condition it's in , full service history etc .... without standard wheels i'd say around the £3k mark if it's in excellent condition , maybe even a couple of hundred less .
Then you'll have p+p on top which will probably be half as much as the aerosol cost , lol . Just find a local motor accessory place and get it mixed there or Halfords .
Nortons crap . It throws up false attack messages so you think it's actually protecting your system so you'll subscribe to the updates . I'd remove it and get AVG .
About 7 quid a can . Try yell.com . Lots of motor accessory places mix paint .

I can only assume that the colour is the wrong shade . Did you shake the aerosol really well ? Try going to a local motor factors or body shop suppliers that mix aerosols and get a can mixed up in pacific blue and see if there is any difference in shade to the hycote .
The primer you've used...
