Chipsaway " might " be able to sort it , but it looks like a resprayed panel to me :(

Like justin says mondial blue on the 172 cups and arctic blue on the 182's , very similar colour .

Who quoted you £500 plus vat ? Was it a big body shop ? Take it to a couple of back street bodyshops and get a few quotes , you'll be amazed how much the prices differ . Imo if they are saying its because its a special silver paint thats why it costs so much they are talking b****cks , thats...

Sounds like its fcuked to me mate if its not holding a charge . Try using a battery charger , if that doesn't work looks like a new battery required .

Ermmm , try reading my post ;)

As i said in my previous post . If your wheels are in poor condition i would be cautious about using the fairy power spray . I clean my wheels on a regular basis so its easier to keep them clean rather than let the brake dust build up . No i haven't got performance friction pads . I know...

You mean Scotland ?? ;)

The only way to check it , is take it to a garage with a rolling road that does MOT's and get them to check it .

If you think your handbrakes fcuked get it sorted before its due its MOT .

^^ I hadn't seen that . Best thing is you always get a free 3 year warranty with electrical things from Aldi . How much would a 3 year warranty be say from Currys , Dixons etc .... ??

^^^ pmsl . Seriously , try the megs scratch x if that doesn't make em shine nothing will . Do you think the blotches might be under the lacquer ?It definitely sounds like the wonder wheels has attacked the lacquer .

Stick it on a chain round your neck , beastie boys styleeeee init .

Wasn't that the rollin' stones ? :quiet:

^^^^ I'm happy with that price . They were doing nothing stuck in the spare bedroom as i have my justmatz mats .

Wire brushing them with these gets the calipers perfectly clean , easier than using sandpaper . http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=13734&ts=21991 Check out your local pound shop , alot of them sell em .

Try polishing them with megs scratch x or autoglym super resin polish then you could either seal them with AG extra gloss protection or just apply some wax after the polish .

Nearly 5 years of owning 2 RS's and it still puts a smile on my face , plenty of b road driving today on my way to the Southport airshow with my holding on for dear life lol ;)

If its flaked off , then the calipers were either dirty or had grease on them . Make sure you clean them well and you'll have no problem with hammerite smooth .

A good guide here for changing your pads here , off one of the lads on GTI-6 website . http://www.zedsplace.co.uk/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.10 Like edde says . Get a haynes manual to show you how to change the discs .

Yeah bit there's some good comprehensive warranties these days that only cost about £300 a year .It's a hell of alot of money if you don't use it or only something minor needs sorting then it would probably work out cheaper to pay for the work yourself . Extended warranties are a bit of...

Why don't you got for a 182 full fat with cup packs ? Then you've got the best of both worlds . I'd definitely miss my xenons .

^^^^ More than what its selling for at the moment ;)

^^^^ Thats why winavi video convertors better . About 40 - 50 mins to encode , 10mins ish to burn , job done ;)

I've used fairy power spray and it shifts s**t like you wouldn't believe . I also use Aldis own version which was on offer at 99p a bottle and thats ph10 cos i've just tested it and that amounts to a weak alkali .My wheels come up like new everytime :) The only time i would be cautious of...

^^^ Lookin good now mate :)

I think there's alot of b****cks talked about when it comes to cold air feeds . Imo the cold air feeds on the standard airbox are good enough . The engine sucks air in , its not forced in so if you go for an aftermarket filter , running it down where the original air feed comes from or using the...
