To be honest if you bought it second hand chances are you are going to have s**t loads of swirls anyway, I know I did.
Best you can do until then is prevent inflicting more by improving your wash method (sticky guide in this sub-forum) and using a good shampoo (Meguiars Gold Class is good which...
Some just don't understand what a car means to a man.
How would they like it if I pissed in their foundation make up?
Luckily my misses is into cars and has just got a job restoring retro mini's.
1. Epoxy resin if you plan never to remove it again. But they are clipped in, chances are they will snap when you remove it.
2. For sale area on here/ebay/dealers
Cheers lads I'll get a bottle of that and see what I can do (on my parents cars first :L)
And Dave, Im in Hadleigh, sort of halfway between Ipswich/Colchester where I am around
Not got any real polishes as I havn't really used them. I will invest in a da6pro in the late spring I'd imagine but is there any of the sample ones I could get to try out by hand from i4d/cyc?
So I have very few, very fine swirls on the new car on the bonnet and that is all I have noticed.
What would be the best hand polish for this?
I'm guessing something with a lot of fillers
I used to when I had mine.
White diamonds, white bullets, white wing mirros, white dash strips, white centre panel, white arial, white wheels, white leather interior & door cards.

Even says campus sport on the back and doors iirc.
I suppose it comes down to how you define sport, I mean the 182 is similar to the 100m sprint but they the paralympic frisbee catching is also a 'sport'
It is a straight swap. Takes about 20/30 minutes to do and looks great. You will need to inform your insurace and as for the front it would be cheaper/easier to colour code your bump strips and get an RS grill.
Oh and if your car is peral black......good luck
Had my tyre off yesterday so be warned cos they took part off so I'm gonna have to remove it all and respray. The beauty is, it'll take about 30 mins to do
It's cos the sidelights are on top of the bonnet and the headlights are in the middle so you get two seperate lights at all times when the headlights are on
It has the same engine as my car and it's very torquey.
You can be in 6th and speed up very quickly.
If the fuel consumption is anything like the Juke however then I hope you don't mind 28mpg mixed
However naturally the clio will be lighter but the Juke is still only 40kg more than the 200.
They are so simple to fit as they just go into the connector for you old headlight bulb. The actual bul just slots into the headlight but in regards to the MOT you would be safer to take them out for the day. No need to remove the ballasts and wiring as the bulbs clip out seperatley from the wiring.
Depends which exhausts tbh. The standard cheap back box isn't going to do the car antyhing bar the placebo effect but a full system on mine up's it by 12bhp
