Cardboard . I drew round the centre cap and cut it out .

No problem . Get some pics up when you've done it :)

No need to take off any of the paint . If it's been filled you'll obviously need to sand that down , just sand the whole wheel lightly as well with some 320 grit to give the primer something to key to . No wonder its taking you ages ;)

Full Fat has all the toys , leather , climate control , xenon lights etc ...

I'd go for the Trophy over the 182 cup , but over both of them i'd go for the FF 182 with cup packs .

If you have a local nokia shop , just take it there . They will update the firmware for free . At least if somethin fcuks up they'll have to sort it :)

Why are you taking the paint off ? Here's one i refurbed . I cleaned the wheel with AG engine and machine cleaner then dried it . Filled all the deep scratches with Upol D Metallic Filler , left overnight to harden sanded it down with 320 grit wet and dry . This also gives the primer a good...

Get a dehumidifier and maybe a couple of portable electric oil heaters in your garage . You'll soon get rid of the damp .

The white dots could be because your in a hard water area . Use a waffle weave towel . I also use an autoglym aqua blade to remove the majority of water . Chamois leathers are crap tbh , you've more chance of causing a streaky finish using one ...

Wow , not often that happens ,lol . Sorry mate but you have to laugh , some people will steal anything .

As said . Do a head clean , sometimes it might take a couple of cleans . Mine does if i haven't used it for a while .

^^^ The man talks sense . If you take it to a dealer prepare to have your heart broken . Sell it private and you'll get more . I sold my import 172 for the same price as similar age , mileage etc .... 172's on Autotrader . As long as you have an alarm and locking wheel nuts you should get the...

Doesn't look like a wax to me . Looks more like an all in one product .

^^^ If you ever do need to top it up , use a funnel and put some old rags round the top . You don't want any nasty spills down onto the exhaust :eek:

I couldn't remember what light exactly , lol . :o

What a joke . As said it's standard not a modification . Some insurance companys don't have enough information about the different specs of cars .

Like Fred says . There's a sensor on the cap . When it's low you'll get the usual service and brake warning light on your dash .

No.

People usually do it themselves .

PE2's for me . They were made for the car .

Like the man says . Engine cover off and down the left hand side .

The offset is where the wheel sits inside the arch . The lower the number the further out the wheel sits on the hub . On the 182 it has a slightly wider track than say the 172 cup , so the wheel has to sit further inside the wheel arch so it doesn't rub on the outside of the arch .

^^^ 205 tyres will fit on the turinis . You need an offset of ET45 . Tbh mate i wouldn't get the toyos though . They are crap in the wet imo .

It happened on both sides on my 172 , so when i bought my new 182 , as soon as i got it home i put some 10mm cable ties over the clips for extra strength . Touch wood 18 months later they are still doing their job . It might not be your clips , if it is you'll notice grease from the cv joint...

If its streaking down your panels you've put too much on . It needs to be buffed off afterwards . Thats one of the reasons i use WD40 on a cloth . No streaking ;)

Its good stuff . So is the chemical guys trim gel . I find WD40 is just as good and lasts just as long though , especially if you have alot of white marks . None of the above products actually remove the white marks ,they just mask it for a while .

If it's a faint clicking noise ? I'd check the cv joint gaitor clip . They have a tendancy to snap .

I'd go with the fuel filter theory , especially if the car was running fine before you got your petrol down to almost empty . They only cost around a tenner , 10 mins of a job to do .

Go to powerflow mate if noise is an issue . They'll knock you up one that suits your requirements .
