I've got to agree with Chris . The thing really sets it apart from other kits i've seen .
In fact it's probably one of the biggest and best " things " i've ever seen ;)
When i painted mine i rubbed it down a bit with some 800 grit wet n dry just to give the plastic primer something to key into .
Tbh you probably don't even need any plastic primer as it's already been sprayed in the factory . I did it just to be on the safe side .
Yeah you'll need to...
When i spoke to the guy in research and developement at K+N , he told me always disconnect the negative for 30 mins to reset the ecu . I didn't do this when i fitted the K+N Apollo and the bloody car just stopped , had to get a tow home off the AA as he couldn't get it going again .
Lots of...
I've found that my windscreen freezes less than the other guys cars at work on the car park . Sometimes , when it's just been applied i haven't needed to scrape my windscreen when they have to scrape theirs :)
You could spray them yourself with aerosols following FM's guide , it's not hard tbh . Or take the bump strips off and get them sprayed professionally . Shouldn't cost too much . Give them the paint code and they get the paint mixed up .

If you've got aircon , which i'm assuming you have from your avatar then the drivers side is a bugger to change .
Here's how i changed mine for LED bulbs . 10th post down .

I suppose it depends on the location of the dent . I had 3 removed . 1 in the drivers door , 1 in the rear quarter panel and 1 in the roof which he said would be the most difficult as the headlining is bonded to the roof . All removed within an hour and only cost £90 , £60 of which my neighbours...
Renault say it takes 5.1 litre with the filter change , i've never needed more than 5 litres . If you don't change the oil filter 4.75 litres is usually enough .
The only time my 182 ever used any oil was when i bought it new and needed a slight top up after a couple of months . I changed...
No need for the extra litre or to flush the old oil . As said Opieoils is as cheap as you'll get for 5 litres of Silkolene .

Halfords sell their own brand of Rain X . Same stuff but cheaper ;) I've used it for years .
Don't know why so many people have problems with it . If it's applied as per the instructions it works fine .
I got mine ( smoked ) from here with the chrome repeater bulbs .
They sell lots of different styles including clear ones .

I prefer the Collinite 845 insulator wax to the 476 myself . Lasts just as long but is much easier to apply / remove .

Tbh the chances are that her dad has called you an idiot and probably not in a joking manner . He's probably one of these curtain twitchers who has nothing better to do than watch others and critisice them .
I wouldn't worry about it mate . You've got a nice car , you enjoy keeping it clean...
Not necessarily lied to more like economical with the truth . I had bt years ago and they were a bag o' shite then , i wouldn't trust them one bit .
You might be told yes sir , you will get 4mb , 8mb etc ....by a customer service advisor over the phone , but you try and prove it when you...
Who told you you " would " get 4mb . Most providers have the get out clause of " up to " . I very much doubt any isp will guarantee a connection speed You on BT broadband ?? If your only getting 0.7mb thats appalling . I'd be one unhappy bunny too .
You won't get anywhere near 210bhp from a chip ;)
You've already mentioned a couple of things with the exhaust and airfilter . You can look at getting the inlet manifold matched , plenty of posts on this topic on here . A couple of members offer this service . Apparently the inlet manifold...
It might sound like a bit of overkill , but for the sake of a few minutes extra and piece of mind that i've removed as much crap as possible thats how i prefer to do it anyway.
Like i said in my earlier post . I powerwash as much dirt of as possible , then high power foam it , leave to dwell a while to help soften any dirt , then power wash that off just with water , then foam again and continue with the washmitt and 2 bucket method .
