Didn't even see this, sorry, else i'd have pootled along in the flamer and you could have re-acquainted yourself with it James!

Cough....'our ghetto'...^^^^

Re: The Shire Horse Pub Maidenhead - 7.30pm Wed 14th March I'll be there, good to meet peops at the Longbridge one.

Step ladder ftw.

Cheers guys, Kyly, we need pics both before and after the claying! Including the roof. :rasp:

£140 a month!!! Jesus.... Yeah, get someone else to clean the roof then!

Can't see your roof! Lol, get some 'lows'. Then you can. Ha ha. Only joking, you must be 5" 5 or so then, if you genuinely can't clean it! I don't struggle there, in fact, its more fitting in the clio from a height wise I have a problem with...

Don't get rid mate, I'm normally all about OEM+ but I love the rotas on yours. Both look good. Just save longer......

Phew, I was worried I wasn't applying the right pressure. It said 'light' pressure, but in places nothing came off, and in others (roof, bonnet, front, parts of the front and rear arches) it removed small amounts.

You're right, I didn't mention it in the OP - sorry. Yeah, had a full going over with tar and bug remover. The clay bar was pretty clean, but I was still amazed it got anything more off, as the car looked spotless prior to clay barring. The fact it took anything more off amazed me! I didn't have...

Lovely colour mate. Looks good.

A small bit of vomit came up.

Cheers Gaz. Appreciate the comments - good and bad.

Mmmm, i'm confused. I did de-tar? I used Tar and Bug remover for about 1 hour on the front during the clean. Then clay barred. Was that a no no?

In answer to your questions mate; Dyno Dynamics is a make of roller equipment. Alan Jefferies owns a Dyno Dynamics roller. As does Paul from RS Tuning. And others. The power output looks good, as the others have said and yourself, ignore the graph and if it feels strong and your happy with it...

Dr Pepper - 'whats the worst that can happen.'. I'm sure you will do a good job, thread needs photos though. Lol ;)

Haha, lol. It wasn't that bad, but yeah, I maybe went a little OCD on making sure it was tar speck free....didn't want to seal anything under the wax! The clay barring amazed me how much more dirt comes off a 'clean' looking car.

Cheers, I attacked the front bumper with some tar and bug remover, and plenty of 'feverish hand action' lol.

God I need that cup spolier. I'm off to constantly monitor the 'parts for sale' section. You at CS12? If so, we should try and get some photos sorted, be like mirror vision! Clearly you are a fellow 'thinking man' as per matthews post above ^^^^^^!

Lol, you want someone better than me cleaning it - speak to 'he of arch gap' aka Gally! I'm a mere beginner!

Yeah, the K-tec one. In hindsight i'd probably have gone for the Fabia splitter, but I bought it before really getting involved in CS, so was uneducated on the cost difference.... Haven't cracked it yet though - result!

Yours makes me want a cup spoiler like a fat kid yearns for cake......

Thanks Dawn! She is lowered on Bilstein B14's, with Eibach 15mm spacers all round. Yeah, the 197 RS Style badge was the first thing I did, the 'Halfrauds' one made me shudder...... How is yours behaving, all good I hope!

Cheers guys, considering its 10 years old in April, its not looking to bad on it, from a paint perspective. On with the ITB's in the summer, then I need to start the interior...........

Cheers, don't apologise mate, the exhaust was on the car when I bought it.....I'm waiting to see what appears from Fred in the exhaust department, and may get a new bumper (bumper has slight scuff from a clown in tescos) and go more 'stealthy' in the long run.....keep it as OEM as possible. And...

Good work, a splitter always helps make the front look alot more 'focused'.

Great photos, and it does look like a good day. I really need to get booked into some beginner days and tuition...

Indeed :o Didn't have any, and by the time I realised I didn't have any, the shops had shut! Lessons learnt for next time lol. Thanks for the comments guys, keep them coming - good and bad, and pointers for improvement welcome!

It seems this weekend was 'flamer cleaning' weekend. Steve from R-Sports did his, Dawn (Magpie V6) did her's and I had a stab at my very first 'detail'. Made a school boy error, not taking photos before hand. Suffice to say, it was 'dirty' at best, 'filthy' at worst. :o I'm no expert (in...
