Hiya mate . I wondered who it was lol . Bit of a bad traffic jam eh .

Trust me mate . Once you've applied a couple of colour coats the primer colour makes no difference whatsoever .

You don't say what condition it's in , full service history etc .... without standard wheels i'd say around the £3k mark if it's in excellent condition , maybe even a couple of hundred less .

Doesn't look anything like anthracite . It looks miles too dark , verging on very dark grey /black from those pics .

This is Rover stone grey .

Then you'll have p+p on top which will probably be half as much as the aerosol cost , lol . Just find a local motor accessory place and get it mixed there or Halfords .

Nortons crap . It throws up false attack messages so you think it's actually protecting your system so you'll subscribe to the updates . I'd remove it and get AVG .

About 7 quid a can . Try yell.com . Lots of motor accessory places mix paint . http://www.yell.com/ucs/UcsSearchAction.do?ssm=0&scrambleSeed=12541707&keywords=motor+factors&companyName=&location=newcastle+upon+tyne&M=0&x=0&y=0

I can only assume that the colour is the wrong shade . Did you shake the aerosol really well ? Try going to a local motor factors or body shop suppliers that mix aerosols and get a can mixed up in pacific blue and see if there is any difference in shade to the hycote . The primer you've used...

You've buckled all your wheels ? :eek: How did ya manage that ?

£250 seems to be the going rate .

Mondial blue 172 probably ;)

And it's cheaper , and it also cleans your black trim and lubricates dodgy bonnet catches ;)

WD40 .

Crap seats on the cups . I think they come from the dynamiques or billabongs lol . I'd go for the newest car withinin your budget . i.e. if you can stretch to a 182FF i'd go for that imo .You might even get one with some warranty left on it . None of them hold their value really , not...

It's not usually as simple as dividing by 12 then multiplying by the months you have left . When you cancel you usually get fleeced, you'll get a % back but not 8 months . Your best bet is to ring your insurance company and ask them tbh .

I think you'll find it's not . Its sodium hydroxide based :approve: I've used it loads of times and it's never had any bad effect on the finish of my wheels :) Now that's acidic :eek:

Another one for the CG Blitz here :)

They look crap mate . Stick your original wheels back on and sell them to me ;)

Yeah . I tend to do the whole car , then go back to the beginning and start to remove it .

Fairy power spray , leave to dwell for a good 5 mins then a good blast with a pressure washer . Or Blue rim and wheel cleaner . http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/bluerim.htm Also grim reaper . But i haven't tried that . http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/grmreap.htm

Try one of these . It helps get a more even finish and less spitting of the paint from the aerosol . http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10151&storeId=10001&partNumber=727933&langId=-1

I always thought they were tested on a rolling road :approve:

I average around 28mpg mixed driving in my 182 , i did in my 172 also . Heavy right foot ;)

Plenty of drying towels to choose from here : http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/lrgewaff.htm http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/microfibre-cloths/sonus-der-wunder-drying-towel-pkg/2/prod_84.html...

I have the smoked ones with the chrome bulbs . http://www.body-kit.co.uk/acatalog/renault_clio_mk2_side_repeaters.html

So what did the place say who sprayed it the wrong colour ? Did you actually tell them it's totally the wrong colour ??

I'm very dubious of people with no feedback , especially when they've been an ebay member for 5 months . Just started in the motor trade . Hmmmmm , probably one of those guys who advertise cars at the side of the road .

http://www.vnunet.com/downloads/burning Some free stuff on there . Personally i just use Nero . Does what i want . Burns audio cd's , dvd's , copy to copy ..... job done .

Bin it and get yourself a good waffle weave drying towel .
