Today's update - it's not a sticker at all, as Meek quite rightly stated, it's just printed on top of the lacquer. As a result I've shifted it using SRP and a lot of elbow grease!

What speeds do you reckon you were getting up to before you had to brake? Personally I reckon you should have smoked him. Ever thought of some driver training, I'm sure there are some schools out there that specialise in urban driving skills - standing starts being their USP.

A little update - I've tried using clay for a minute or two on a small section of the logo and the clay instantly turned blue, which suggests to me that there is no lacquer covering the printed-on graphic. When I've got some more time I'll carry on with the clay but are there any other products...

I'd try MotorsportWorld for a competitive price too.

That standard exhaust looks comically small & pea-shooter-like. Otherwise, great colour, great plans, great price... result!

Have a read of the other thread in the FCS section - it tells you everything you need to know, and you simply add your name to a list. Simples!

In that case maybe it does open up some more options...

I'll assume they've been lacquered over at the factory, does that rather limit the options?

I haven't, no. These are box fresh wheels too btw, in case that makes a difference.

I'll be there, and I quite fancy taking the Trophy, but equally considering something with significantly better load-carrying ability. Anyone done the Portsmouth-Le Havre or Poole-Caen route? Significantly less driving to be done but more expensive. Is it worth it...?

Does anyone have any further suggestions?

100% Michael Woodford Motorsport, the only place to get the RS2 mapped, especially if you're Surrey!

Tardis hasn't made any impression whatsoever. Doused kitchen roll in it and left it to soak the decal for quite some time, but no joy. Any alternative suggestions?

Each wheel a different colour - think VW Polo Harlequin

Cheers James but I'm not sure I'm ready to run 888s as a road tyre with the occasional track day thrown in every year ;)

While I appreciate the R1-R is a very well-reviewed tyre, I get the impression it's best application is in wet weather, and using it on track in the dry may result in heavy wear or damage. Wanting a tyre for 90% dry running, from what I've read the AD08(/R) or RS-R are better suited to the task...

I just spoke to Camskill and they predicted end of August for the first batch, but they didn't have any pricing information. Meanwhile all stocks of the current AD08 tyre will be ever-decreasing. Do I wait for the new 'R' only to find out it's £30 dearer a corner, or just get on board with the...

Does anyone happen to know when the new AD08R will be available to buy in the UK?

Research continues, no decisions made as yet but at this very second I'm leaning towards AD08s. In 5 seconds that will probably have changed twice though - damn, I hate being indecisive! I cover about 3,000 miles a year.

For many I suppose you're right but doing the mileage I do I'd be prepared to buy new tyres every couple of years. If I went down the AD08s route they'd last 4-5 years, so I'd be happy to sacrifice a little longevity for increased performance, assuming R1-Rs do indeed offer that over AD08s.

Still got them? :dapprove:

Why's that, Mike, do you not think R1-Rs are suitable for road use? How so?

A set of R1-Rs (195/50/15) can be had for £292 (delivered), which seems pretty good value but how many miles do people expect the R1-R to last, given mainly road driving and 1-2 trackdays per year? Comparable to the Yokohama AD08 (which Mark says are good for 13,000 in his experience), or...

Hi mate, What's wrong with yours and why does it need improving? If nothing needs doing then you'd be better off saving the money and spending it on trackdays, driving tuition & fuel. If on the other hand you just want to throw some money at the T then there are literally hundreds of things...

Youngstig has had an issue with how to work a list. It's not that hard, is it?

I'm having the Trophy detailed shortly and was thinking maybe CQuartz Finest. Are there any reliability issues or is it a truly premium product that should be used, no questions asked? The alternative option I've narrowed it down to is CQUK. Is Finest worth the premium or does CQUK represent...

Legends, the lot of you, Monkey included!

It's a brilliant advert!
