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 ;)

Never seem em . I doubt you will tbh with the wings being plastic you wouldn't have a good solid base to fix them to .

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...

I know the 172 cup speakers are differentto the 172FF speakers , they feel alot lighter and didn't have any name on them .

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 .

Mine were Blaupunkt in my 172 , factory fit . Haven't got a clue what's in my 182 .

Top pic the bump strips look a bit darker , the second pic doesn't look too bad .

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 .

Hiya mate . I wondered who it was lol . Bit of a bad traffic jam eh .

Trust me mate . Once you've applied a couple of colour coats the primer colour makes no difference whatsoever .

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 .

Doesn't look anything like anthracite . It looks miles too dark , verging on very dark grey /black from those pics .

This is Rover stone grey .

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 . http://www.yell.com/ucs/UcsSearchAction.do?ssm=0&scrambleSeed=12541707&keywords=motor+factors&companyName=&location=newcastle+upon+tyne&M=0&x=0&y=0

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...

You've buckled all your wheels ? :eek: How did ya manage that ?

£250 seems to be the going rate .

Mondial blue 172 probably ;)

And it's cheaper , and it also cleans your black trim and lubricates dodgy bonnet catches ;)

WD40 .

Crap seats on the cups . I think they come from the dynamiques or billabongs lol . I'd go for the newest car withinin your budget . i.e. if you can stretch to a 182FF i'd go for that imo .You might even get one with some warranty left on it . None of them hold their value really , not...

It's not usually as simple as dividing by 12 then multiplying by the months you have left . When you cancel you usually get fleeced, you'll get a % back but not 8 months . Your best bet is to ring your insurance company and ask them tbh .

I think you'll find it's not . Its sodium hydroxide based :approve: I've used it loads of times and it's never had any bad effect on the finish of my wheels :) Now that's acidic :eek:

Another one for the CG Blitz here :)

They look crap mate . Stick your original wheels back on and sell them to me ;)

Yeah . I tend to do the whole car , then go back to the beginning and start to remove it .

Fairy power spray , leave to dwell for a good 5 mins then a good blast with a pressure washer . Or Blue rim and wheel cleaner . http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/bluerim.htm Also grim reaper . But i haven't tried that . http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/grmreap.htm

Try one of these . It helps get a more even finish and less spitting of the paint from the aerosol . http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10151&storeId=10001&partNumber=727933&langId=-1
