As said previously loose all of the stickers . I could understand if you were 17 years old but your not :quiet:
As for the wheels they a look a fuckin mess yellow , go for something dark like a gunmetal or black .
You should have stuck to the Michelins . The Pirellis don't come close imo , they should be scrubbing in a bit by now maybe but don't expect the grip you had with the Michelins because it just won't happen .
At best your looking at someone like chipsaway , at worst respraying the door and blending it in the the rest of the car .
Or you could have a go yourself and fill the scratch , wet sand then polish . Here's a guide on how to do it .

Always sounds a bit iffy when lacquer/ paint starts to peel . Sounds like a previous repair that's started to fail tbh .
Paintwork warranty only lasts 3 years , its the anti corrosion warranty that is a lengthy one being 12 years . Even that is subject to conditions i.e. having the car "...
Same for me . I always average around 280 miles to a tank on my 182 , same as i did on my 172 .
Some people figures in these mpg threads amaze me :eek:
So your averaging over 400 miles to a full tank ??? I doubt that very much :quiet:
Don't blame me if they go titsup after a few weeks . You can get good quality LEDS that will last and poor quality ones . But for the price it's worth risking it i suppose .
A bit of a tip . It's hard to change the drivers side LED due to the aircon . I used a bit of 10mm tubing with a split...
The washing up is to clean the sh!te off the steering wheel dear chap . There was no mention of washing the paintwork with washing up liquid .
Read the OP's problem ;)
^^^ I hope your taking the p!ss with the wax comment ? :eek:
Like 182-racing-blue said , washing up liquid " should " shift it or the majority of it anyway .
Collinite 885 or 925 owns 476 btw ;)
Are you sure they fit through the hole ? They are 11mm , the holes only about 10mm .
I have something similar to these . I bought mine from ultraleds but they don't sell them anymore for some reason . Been running mine for over 2 years now with no problems ...
Heat resistant paint isn't needed to paint your engine cover . Just treat it as you would any other plastic bits i.e. plastic primer , colour coat and lacquer .
D2S 4300K is the standard bulb . The higher the number the more blue in colour and less light is given off .

^^^ Could be cos some of the dealership's don't know the service intervals themselves . I had this when i went to book in my 172 for it's first service . They told me it wasn't due until 18k , i told them to check again as it was due at 12k , they appoligised and agreed it was 12k .
My service book for my 182 says the same 5 years or 36k . I'd like to see proof also if the schedule has changed . Unless it's just a case of chinese whispers and people assuming that 36k equates to 3 years with an average of 12k a year .
You can't have it set on the windscreen demister and your feet at the same time . Also having it set on the windscreen demister it automatically puts on the AC as well .
I reckon your fcuked mate . Alcantara isn't a natural material like suede , it's polyester so any solvent type product will most likely dissolve it . It'll be bonded well and good so even picking at it will probably leave a hole .
Warm water if it's not too dirty . I've used a weak solution of Meguiars all purpose cleaner or you could try a dilute mix of Auto Glym interior shampoo .
Nothing wrong with Pixmania imo . As stated they are non UK products so my camcorder actually came with a 2 year warranty as standard instead of a 1 year warranty which UK products come with as standard . Plus it arrived within 48 hours :)
Mines been playing up as well , same as it did last year in the cold weather . It was down to 3*C a couple of days ago . When i jump in the car and drive off all the dash lights come on for a split second then go off again , but all the trip comp readings reset . It only ever happens in the cold...
