It's UV damage IIRC. Can be done by hand, but will need some serious elbow grease! Better with a Machine. There are guides on here, but basically: Wet Sand the affected area(s) Polish to finish.

DA polishers oscillate meaning that they sort of go up and down as well as round. That's an overly simplified explanation, but meh. Rotaries just go round in a circular motion, i.e Rotate. DA's are known to be easier to use due to there being less risk involved with things like heat build up...

The service packs come with an oil filter?

Re: Cliosport Saturday - The Launch of a New Era - 30th July 2011 I don't live there, but I'm not far, and a close mate of mine regularly goes there. I'll get him to recommend a decent route.

I've used them in the past, service is fine. I went for the Motul pack, circa £50 IIRC

I live in Abingdon, I had no idea they used the airfield as a track!

Sounds like you were ripped off.

As said, gear knob insert looks rubbish, tbh. Gotta be honest, I dislike it :(

I heard that flushing it wasn't recommended? I just ran the engine for 5 minutes before draining it at the sump, then re-filled with 5-odd litres.

Tyre looks pretty bald!

Agree, it's such an awesome colour, but it just doesn't work, IMO.

Number plate font is rank, I'd be changing those straight away!

I've got Sonus pads, and didn't find them to be much good. They're okay, I just didn't get much success with removing the swirls from my paint with them. Hardier than the Menz pads by what Richy says. I got a few Lake Country pads and prefer them, if I'm honest, they were a lot easier to use...

It's things like that car that make me wish I was born in the 30's. None of this s**t existed.

Not a huge fan of the Escalation maps, particularly Convoy! It just seems so...right angled? A weird way to describe it maybe. It's quite poor, imo. Same with Zoo, it's quite rubbish, it looks like it's designed for Snipers, but each snipe point is far too obvious! Hotel, on the other hand, is...

Super Mario Bros DS is a bit old-hat, but I like it. Mario Kart is win!

Unless I'm mistaken, in one of the pictures they're using a Chamois leather. I'd avoid :)

There's a few of us in the Oxford area, but Atouba's right, we're not really covered as such. Some of the meets are quite accessible though, such as Camberley, Baskingstoke etc.

Does the badge on the grille of the Astra say VVT?

I guess it suits the mats and (possible) interior neons

+1 - I'm not loving them so much any more :( It used to be my favourite part of the car before I bought one.

It does include rear mats - and no, it's not one-piece, you get two rears, one for each footwell.

West's Renault on here do an official set, for £50-ish. I got a set, he runs regular group buys.

Saw two today whilst leaving my GF's house in Didcot, and at the McDonald's at the Milton bypass services. At Milton was a GW 197/200 (think 200, didn't see the front) - had the Cup Spoiler, and black graphics ALL over it (Clio Cup stickers on the sides, they were MASSIVE). Second was a...

I had the BG182 that was parked to your car's left, IIRC

That sound is why I adore my Yozza :) I was parked next to you at the RS National meet :)

+1 for Meggy's tyre gel and Natty's Blue! Dodo Juice Time to Dry is also lovely

I'll be ignoring the hosepipe ban, I've read about ONR but just can't bring myself to trust it. Don't know why, as all the evidence that it works is there, but I just prefer to use the 2BM wherever possible! The water provider that serves my area aren't exactly renowned for fixing burst mains...

BobbyBoRegis You'll find me on Black Ops, Forza or MW2 ;)
