So does having a de cat definitely invalidate your insurance ? Does anybody know this for sure ?? Cos if it does , whats the point of having car insurance at all , if you write it off and they see the de cat , you've lost your insurance money and the cost of the car .

^^^^ I don't find it hard at all , its stiff but soft . Gotta be better than a bog brush in a drill ,lol .

I use one of these Autoglym brushes on the wheels , after a good spray with autoglym engine and machine cleaner , gets the sh*t of nice n easy ;) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AUTOGLYM-Hi-Tech-Wheel-Brush_W0QQitemZ8054547819QQcategoryZ72201QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

Darwen for me too !

Best bet is to put the original wheel bolts back on before you go and get new tyres so they can't overtighten em and f*ck em up , change back to the locking bolts when you get home .

Good luck mate , hope you get a result , maybe try to get em to match it .

Have a read of this . It says you have a 30 day cooling off period for insurance . http://www.moneyextra.com/dictionary/cooling-off-period-004050.html Just read the small print on highways insurance site . It says you 2 can " cancel , 14 days cooling off period , but they will charge £25 ...

Yep . Same discs and calipers on the 172 as the 182 .

Give powerflow a call . Probably about £120 for a stainless back box fitted . As loud or as quiet as you want .Loads of locations throughout the UK . http://www.powerflowexhausts.net/HOME.CFM

I'd just e mail em , asking if they post to the UK , failing that phone them .If they don't post to the UK there will be no way round it .

It might be part of the cardboard box that they are delivered in ;)

After the super resin polish , seal it with AG extra gloss protection , dead easy to use , then wax . Use microfibre cloths to remove and megs foam applicators to put on .

5-40 fully synthetic .

Fuel rail guard in these pics . 2 x 10 mm bolts to remove http://cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=115218&highlight=fuel+rail+guard

I'm 99% certain its a 17mm spanner ya need mate . They will be hard to crack as they have thread lock compound on em .

You should have 1 maybe 2 torx screws holding the disk on , try pressing the brakes with the screws removed as they can be a bit of a b*stard and rusted on .Once you have removed the screws , give the disks a good swift smack with a hammer . Can't remember off the top of my head but i think...

Try some of this stuff mate . Its a piece of p*ss to apply and take off . It beads water better than the collinite #476 or #845 that i've just tried . Fast delivery time of 24 hours as well . It might give a deeper shine , it did with my arctic blue ...

10% power increase , i want one ,lol ;) I think the 10% is a little bit optimistic !

Winavi video converter .

Your best bet is to phone Adrian Flux and ask em . They are very knowledgeable about mods .

http://www.procleanalloys.co.uk/ I've heard these are good , not that far from you . They quoted me about £35 - £40 a wheel , depends on how bad they are i suppose .

About 8mm on new tyres . Depends on the make of the tyre how long they will last .

^^^^ agree ^^^^ Learn to walk before you can run .

The best bet is to get in touch with the manufacturer or the place you bought it from .

I use them all the time , great for drying , removing polish , wax etc .... The ones i use are blue , but i've seen orange ones that are the same . They've had a few washes in the washing machine and are still like new , don't forget " NO fabric conditioner " though !! Good to have one in...

I'm liking that air filter :)

" Used " and " new " being the operative words mate ;) There's alot of used cars i could have had for the price of a new 182 . I had a 172 before the 182 , the cars a good little motor but i wouldn't keep bangin' on about it , thinking its the best handling car on the planet like some of you...

Do you think on the S3 forum you will see posts like S3 V 172/182 lol ;) ??

Looks good , you've done a good job there mate :) , as said , now for the handles .

Sounds like the tyres might not have been fitted in the right position . Check out this website and scroll down the part where it says : Coloured dots and stripes - whats that all about? http://www.chris-longhurst.com/carbibles/tyre_bible.html
