Sounds like your technique could use a little work, but once you've got the first stubborn lot off, and sealed the wheels, it should no longer be a problem.... Personally if they were really quite dirty I would have: Sponged off with warm water and fairy liquid (kills grease quite well) Rinsed...

Taken the caliper apart to make sure everything is moving freely? I had a siezed slider on mine and the brake was not retracting, so sticking on a bit, you could be the other way around, sticking, but off.

Well it still doesn't look too bad mate, at least the damage isn't glaringly obvious. Monday evening I'm about, but unfortunately, 8-5 week days is a killer and is not quite the student life I'm used to. lol!

Looks really good Ad, I really need to see your car at some point!! Wheels really suit it nicely, only thing I will say is with those tyres, scratching the alloys is so easy (I speak from experience), next time you may want to go for the 205's! :)

Oh you do make me chuckle (and tent)

As much as I understand the "not a proper project" attitude, its nice to look through how other people have delveloped their car's and it's a good place to get inspiration, especially for new members etc. I think a simple split with "projects" and "progress diaries" or something would do the...

Good work so far, really like the exhaust :)

Looks really good mate, better pics are needed though tbh. I want to come have a poke around, but I'll have to wait until Steve gets this driveshaft to me, snore.... Car went into Orpington today for bonnet catch :D

Cage looks epic, love this car so much, cannot wait to do something this crazy next year. Just need to move out first!

Re: 3 Months of Trophy.. Progress thread. This is superb, great choice of mods on a lovely car in the first place. By no means ruined in anyway, just upgraded IMO.

Is your right hand light too high? Or just the way you too the photos? Could need adjusting. Looks bloody wicked with the xenons. Very nice standard example, a bit lower and it'd look epic!

Love it, but I do agree with Adam, I wouldn't have moved onto under the bonnet until you'd done all of the back.

Can't see why it would. When I bought my car I told the guy at Sky Insurance what I planned to do to the car when I got it home and had some time to sort it it, he put them on the policy for when it started.

Glad you said that, as he was gonna buy one of these.

Cheers Danny, carphonewarehouse = useless (not that I didn't know that already) Every single phone contact seems to have gone up in price, no good deals about atm, sack :(

Not at all mate, I only know Mike, so its not like you'll be an outside in a big group of friends. Vickyx knows more about where to pitch as she did it before.

I'm sad I didn't get here soon, my answer would have been "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" ;)

I'm confused also. I think they look really nice, but don't know why? I think they could look superb in a less chrome finish, like amazing....

Me, MikeB and a few of the other south easter's are mate. Not sure on details yet, will be by the end of the week.

May ebay him one of those and go down Canary Wharf now to pick him up something a bit flashier for the w/e's

Thats what our builder wants to do, get a tough one for work and then a nice one for weekends etc. I'll have to have a butchers on ebay

Our builder at work needs a new tough phone for on site (he goes through phones like toilet roll atm), and it's not something I've ever looked too much into. A quick search reveals the samsung solid extreme is currently on the market, which looks alright, just wondering about any other...

Bloody good choice sir, exactly what I want next, maybe I'll buy yours when when you're bored eh? ;)

FLOL! What is it with people and building epic cars then breaking them? (In one way or another) Whats next Dave?

They're the boot struts, the trophy spoiler is so large you need shorter struts to stop it connecting with the roof when you open the boot.

Bet that trophy pack wasn't cheap! Car looks cracking in the first set of pics, look forward to more of the same quality.

If there are defo some camping, let me know and me and Mike will come for sure. Mike, I'll text you tmrw if you don't read this before then. But I should be fine to order my ticket tmrw.

Love that colour combo!

Nice job that, the prep is such a pain, but the result is always rewarding :)

Cracking read, looks like you did very well being your first race too. Look forward to more updates (all as brilliantly written I hope)
