Top work! The wet sanding didn't look anywhere near as bad as I expected.

Get some pics up so people can better advise mate

Oh dear, finish the job and do it up to 2500/3000 before asking for it to be polished and complain to whoever you bought the pack off lol

As said, these engines do not respond well to tuning in terms of power. The most you can do is make it a bit more responsive/nicer to drive. Expect anywhere from 164-182 on a standard (that includes filters, exhausts, generic maps) engine. Or or spend lots of money and turbo, supercharge...

Stick a thread up asking for a hand. I'm sure someone in tunbridge wells can use a polisher. But, as above, what grade paper did you finish on? Any pics? Tell your dad 'it'll look s**t hot when it's done so don't flip' :o

Unsure.

Racing blue is similar. albi is a dark metallic like arctic/mondial

I can only repeat what I've read on here (there's a stone chip filling guide) but; after you've filled the scratches/chips and have the blob I top of your paint, you flat it back with wet and dry paper then polish it up. I can't comment on the polishes as I've only just started using dedicated...

Interesting. Does this soften it somewhat? As it's genuinely near dangerous as standard.

Scratches, or swirls? As you can't remove scratches. You can just do your best to 'round them off' and fill them to make them less visible. Swirls, they may be removed by working tripple/srp for ago of while by hand. But I think you'd need dedicated polishes and a machine for complete removal.

Autoglym valet kit. Red bag, £80ish and has everything you need bar clay and contaminant removers.

Seems a bit counter intuitive. I didn't realise compounds were more abrasive than wet and dry!

Ah, is wet sanding a technique worth having under your belt then? :(

Lolled at the beach pics on Facebook. Genuinely loved it

Did they go from black to gold or vice versa? I liked the gold ones :approve:

Love it. why did you have to sand the etching out? Would a polish not suffice?

Christ! I bet you never saw bed! I'm undecided as of yet. I'll try and make a decision soon

Seems decent. And it's very nice to see a half decent advert for one of these. Normally you can tell the cars not worth viewing from the first line of the ad. But decent pictures and not much text speak in the advert, I'd consider it :)

This and a speaker with an iPod Dock is all you need. They're on eBay for under a fiver :) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AFD2DVQ/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Auto glym super resin polish and auto finesse tripple are very popular for hiding and filling light scratches.

Lucky new owner, any pics of the ep3?

Ah, well my hats off to you on the prep work. Too often I've seen good finishes let down by poor prep :)

I use an Apple TV to airplay music through the surround sound in the house and I have an 'I-wave' Bluetooth adapter for in the car. It works bang on :)

I was wanting to have a chat to you but by the time I found you you were already mid convo with a group of people... Did you do the spray yourself and is it the one from Sunderland (I've heard about it but never seen it)? I was having a nose around it when I arrived and it looked absolutely bang...

Just saw this nh55 or similar, pulling into asda. Iceberg, 172 wheels, 172 bumper. Very, very late registration or has it had the exhaust repositioned and holes filled? this must be the one I see parked at Cheshire oaks quite a bit

Pics of where the calliper fouls? I seriously wouldn't recommend machining/turning the wheel. It looks like a b*****d to hold on a machine bed and i imagine it'll vibrate like f**k which in turn will add more time and more money onto the machining. You'd need a big chuck to hold it in a lathe...

Very nice, does z6 affect the longevity of the LSP?

The 3 door (at least the 197s) have the seat belt held onto a rail behind/at the side of the seat. you could always make a hole in the 197 seat base?

I've only ever seen one, in a dealership. From what I remember it looked very odd. Almost like it was made entirely from plastic.

Yup. Apparently the government are cracking down on streaming sites and rumour has it that Internet providers will be sending out warning letters in the future and monitoring IPs :(
