    cat d trophy

    I have to point out that buying any Renault based on what you think residuals might be in the future is always a bad place to start...

    T*PHY - Warwick, Castle Bridge - 5pm

    Spotted a Trophy on a private plate, just coming up to Castle Bridge at 5pm in Warwick. Simples, really!

    That any use?

    Best wax for monaco?

    IMO Monaco is dark enough to make best use of either Onyx or the Blackfire - they're both around the £50 mark and IMO give utterly stunning results if you put the effort into the prep.

    Detailed the Vee - Picture Heavy!

    Don't worry about it - it's not a problem! I've only got my Chicago now, so it went on with that. Miss my PC so may have to get a cheaper DA, but it wasn't too bad with the rotary. Nah - if it's the picture I think you mean then it's the Britemax which I put on with the Chicago at lowest...

    Detailed the Vee - Picture Heavy!

    Tardis. Use it to soak the sills and behind the rear wheels! I wouldn't go that far - it's not perfect by any means!

    Detailed the Vee - Picture Heavy!

    They took me twice as long as the rest of the car to clean, so it's only fair that they have twice as many pics! Lol. Didn't realise there were quite that many though! Oops!

    Don't be daft, that's what the woman is for! ;)

    Detailed the Vee - Picture Heavy!

    What a hard day! Jesus I'm aching... Russ was going to be coming over to do the car today, but due to unforseen circumstances wasn't able to attend - so rather than waste the weather I thought I'd have a pop at the car myself. Wheels were done with Bilberry at 10:1, and the car was washed...

    Bodyshops - ARGHHHH!!!!

    Yeah, on the Z4. Listed in Tarox's catalogue on their site and can be ordered from MSW... From memory the 340s need a little tweaking on the bell to get them to fit the later Z4s but the rest are fair game.

    Bodyshops - ARGHHHH!!!!

    Wha? They do, I know the guy that helped develop the fitment! They do: 314x24 with 6- and 10-pot calipers 330x26 with 6- and 10-pot calipers 340x26 with 10-pot calipers. Stonking brakes! And between £1700 (smallest 6-pot) to £2,200 (mid 10-pot). 340x26 10-pots for £2100!!!

    Static IP for Broadband?

    You could also set up the s**t for WOL traffic so you can power up and power off your computer on demand...

    Is my technique ok / product advise?

    Polish should be worked until it disappears. You're using too much if it's drying before you've finished working it.

    Anyone need a V6 engine?

    There is, but having been under both a Vee and a Trophy, there's a lot less Clio under the Vee than you'd think. I'd start with a written off Vee and start welding the Trophy panels onto that chassis...

    Anyone need a V6 engine?

    By making it a half a foot wider? They already did that for you.

    Anyone need a V6 engine?

    It wouldn't fit.

    Static IP for Broadband?

    Setting up things like Exchange at home, easier to set up RDP to home and Slingbox and s**t, yo.

    Grill removal?

    I did 3-4 fairly generous coats, and that was on chicken wire stuff. Should imagine it being fairly sturdy on the vee's grills, although I can see why you're doing it - just don't get polish on it in the first place :p

    Grill removal?

    But then it's not Satin Black any more? I used Satin Black on the front of the Exige, and that was fine. I wouldn't worry!

    Grill removal?

    Laquer will make it shiny...

    Ace Mini

    Wouldn't buy such a car from a tool that can't spell.

    Second Cambelt change

    Aye, so if it's been kept to it's maintenance requirements, 2011-2012 depending on whether it was done early.

    My postman brought me this!

    I'm tempted to! Although I don't know what our plans are now as it's all getting a bit busy. Probably!

    My postman brought me this!

    I'm a poor man for chunts ripping me off for all my old nice cars! Lol. This one's staying though - <3 it. Proper makes you smile!

    Lol! Never mind eh!

    My postman brought me this!

    It's the Quicksilver Sport - I fancied being able to hear my passenger! And it's slower in a straight line than the Exige, but it understeers less and is faster on the road. Does turn some heads as well! Made the mistake of trusting the interwebs site for brakes though - front I've got...

    My postman brought me this!

    Well, Boosh can't have all the glory! That took all of 24 hours to order after buying the car, and 24 hours to deliver! And two pictures of the car since I've taken ownership: Cos Ali's been hassling me!
