What works for some doesn't work for others mate. Trial and error! For example, JD on here is f**king useless with Hydro2 but can clean a car like no other. I however am terrible with traditional sealants and end up making the car look worse than before I started so I use Hydro2 as I find it...

Lol, don't be honoured, i've just got nothing else to do at this time of night! lol You can go as far as you want. I've seen awesome results on a mates battered polo with just a wash and then black hole, i've seen big bucks show cars having the works, including the use of black hole. If I...

Sorry, but is that one person that owns two of them?? TWO??

I wouldn't bother trying to 'remove' swirls by hand. It's like pissing in the wind. If I was you, buy some Poorboys black hole. It's quick and easy, hides LOTS of swirls and gives the car a very deep gloss. For time vs money, it's a very very good product.

What makes you say that?

I have mate but it's chaos here. I'm trying to find a job, Jo just had the baby and we're moving house at the end of this month! I really wouldn't worry about it mate! lol

Yeah I recon at best (my mate will be doing it but he doesn't do mates rates...) it will cost me £800 and that's with me stripping the car and putting it back together!

Yeah I bought one a while ago. 6 months?? Spinksy It's having a big resto on it. Last weekend we did belts and dephaser. New TRE's, ball joints, 4 new tyres, discs and pads etc etc. Getting painted all over apart from the roof, fit these Recaro seats, New Cup shocks, 182 Cup springs and a...

The other Monaco is getting completely painted, all bar the roof. Not looking forward to the bill!! Lol Worth it though. Can't beat fresh paint.

I'm guessing they came from Capital seating as the handle to slide back and forward is different to Trophy seats, the harness holes are missing and I have numerous books and manuals for them. None of them Renault Specific.

Remember what we spoke about Alex? You may get to drive a brand new car every 3 months, but I don't have to deal with the public anymore... ;)

No offence, but I can't see any difference between that and my 70 year old neighbours 1.5 dci that he just bought?? Black wing mirrors maybe?

The previous owner kept it really clean. Tonight I just washed it blew it dry and slicked the tyres. All the polish/wax etc is his doing! lol The Recaro's are coming out and going in my 49,000 mile monaco that i'm restoring. Yes mate, was for sale on here. Only 12 miles away too which was a...

Picked this up today. Feels great to be back in a car that can fit into spaces (unlike the merc!) and actually goes when you put your foot on the accelerator (unlike my 1.2 clio!) Got a list of jobs to do on it, the first one being that there are no rear brakes! Drove it 20 odd miles today and...

Your wife has a lot to answer for with you and your car shenanigans...

The parts (cambelt kit, Aux belt kit, cam plugs, bottom pulley bolt, dephaser, oil, filter) cover a fair old chunk of the price the specialists quote. Bear that in mind! My guy charges me £100 for fitting which puts him (A cash in hand guy!) not a million miles away from Mick who is a...

Any other details on process?? Polishing etc?

Not keen on the wheels, they look dirty.

Re: My track only Monaco (lots of pics). So is a cushion but you wouldn't use one of them!

Re: My track only Monaco (lots of pics). Pretty good at what?

Wow, what a good looking car that is.... :S

Re: My track only Monaco (lots of pics). Seats need burning but looks a great car other than that.

My mates car is a 51 plate ph2 172 and has done 23k.

Private joke Scotland. Keep your beak out.

Gave the hydro2'd passat a quick lick of smartwax last night. Woke up to this. :-)

Wow that's bloody lovely!! Looks purposeful with the suspension too. Headlights look a bit s**t...

That's not the same car?

FLOL!! I'll sign him up to some news letters...

Definitely. They're a very narrow 195 tyre that's for sure!

I fitted uRainsport3's to a clio I had and the 195 tyre looked wrong. It could definitely do with a 205 tyre instead.
