I just think gearbox options aren't as forthcoming as they used to be. Cost. Look at the Focus/Clio 5 door flagship models. Money saving.

Ah they say Silver is s**t for detailing... what the feck do they know. Some of your best work there Dawn. Not sure on the wax and Z8 due to the solvents etc. I'd have went with a nice sealant. Zaino especially. Still, simply immense work hun.

Imo they won't offer a manual. Not these days. Money is super tight these days and dsg = manual and Auto anyway. Although it's not like the R.S. Division to move away from the purist. Turbo was a small step. Dsg is a big one.

Think i'll stick to flapper mod. If anything i'd look at sports cats.

Was talking about that yesterday Gaz. The TT needs it. Especially with the Dsg.

The other option means you'll have s**t wheels and s**t tyres!

Buy the street Ka axle spacers. ;) The gearbox is just so tight. Nevermind the 172, it puts the 197 to shame imo! Epic little box!

Nice bump Gareth!

Definitely needs some brake work. The standard ones are Dangerous. Properly. One thing I would say is, the gearbox could embarrass cars costing multiples of it. It's an epic little car. We have one sitting at work just had a full respray. What a great little car.

Something like that. The flap stays closed at low revs and opens up higher up. The flapper mod is very simple it keeps the flap open. When idle the flap is open so removing/modifying the actuator pipe/bung leaves the flap open all the time. Fact is that sounds proper awesome! I hope to...

Lols. Mental. It's very good mate. Just not fancy. I prefer Autoglym HD wax but AS is very good for the price.

This section actually does need moderated! :o JD is never here. Sellout! ;)

Fantastic Russ. Really need to try S17. Monaco just looks utterly superb. Easily the best 172 colour!

Scotch pad with some petrol?

It's not really about burning through chap. It's about removal, old repairs. Being aware of what you're leaving behind paint depth wise for future polishing. You have one now though.

You were running a business and guessing depths? Jeez.

Milly works an iPad better than me. She's learned so much on it.

Unreal guys. You always hear about things in America etc but that's crazy. Not good. :(

Along with my brush?

Sue the council?

No. See my Dilemma thread. :(

I thought that was a massive river going under a bridge. It's a road!

Yeah. Guy picks it up on Thursday hun. It's off to Austria. :)

Fact... oh wait a minute! JD will cry, you know that Turner. Dishwasher/

Nice finish Dawn, some lovely products used.

I love it mate. Much better alternative to something like the Golf Gti, I might have opted for a different colour but for that spec I may have been swayed. Fantastic purchase chap. PM the price if you don't mind. Great all round bus.

No idea. I've never tracked a car in my life. He did say plenty of them have used them on track and he hasn't heard any complaints. If I was a serious track user why would you buy a midrange tyre anyway?

WEll he has them on his 19's and done 5k. Hardly touched the tread. On his 18" Comps with heavy use off track he's done 7k and the fronts are at 4-5mm. Baring in mind it's FWD running over 400 brake iirc.

I shall ask the question. Not sure how many times it's been on track. Moby might be able to tell us better. I'll ask.
