If one has been really badly smashed up and requires a new shell, what are they supplied then, still a phase 1 bodyshell?

Think the guy on here that parked his Cup in the middle of the ice ring has already won this.

This one wont. After seeing how well turned out some of the Cup cars where at the RWS it really got me in the mood. Reflections wont be problem, as I have already found someone to coat the dashboard.

Thanks guys. Where are the extra strengthing panels Edde? Not that this should be issue as it will ideally be caged.

Well my next thread was going to be, did they ever race Phase 1's in the Clio cup, so cheers. Freebone, are you not allowed to clean them after use? With it all being stripped and repainted I will be able to polish it inside and out :D It will be a clean track car ;)

The for looks suggestion is a mail order only job, none are off the shelf, apart from the P21s in the form of S100 wax if you live near a Harley Davidson dealer. Contact Alex @ Seriousperformance as he may be able to get the VM and P21s out to you asap he is very quick.

Thats the plan, not seen it yet but needs a new front valence, wing, hence the face lift idea. Been learning to prep and paint at a mates bodyshop of late, so hoping it will be a nice winter project.

Cheers Josh. There wont be any door cards so that wont be a problem.

Alex at seriousperformance does the Polish - Clearkote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze Wax - P21s or Poorboys Nattys Blue The M seal would need to come from else where though - carwash'n'wax is where I get mine. Autoglym just from Halfrauds

Thats the one. I get it from here though http://www.carwashnwax.co.uk/ David from above is on here - R9DCG

Cheers - Will drop him a PM if need be. Anyone on here done the dashboard?

Working by hand. Polish - Clearkote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze Seal - CG M-Seal Wax - P21s or Nattys Blue Alternative route Polish - AG Super Resin Seal - AG extra Gloss Wax - P21s or Nattys Blue Apply with yellow foam hand pads, remove with a decent microfibers.

Well maybe a phase 1 that looks like a phase 2

I have one thanks - Said car cannot be purchased for the price of this tatty beaten up Phase 1

I know a few people have done this to varying degree's on Phase 1 cars. What is involved/how easy does the rear later 172 rear bumper go on? To do the front to 172/182 spec what else needs to change, grill, headlights, bonnet of course, front wings? With the later bits front and rear...

Found this the other day at castle combe, I ended up picking the car up, panning with it to get the AF focus locked on and then shot as it drove away. Only worked that way while using the centre AF point only. http://www.richtreen.co.uk/events/eurofest/images/IMG_4004.jpg...

Some great shots in there Lee.

Im cheap, but not that cheap

22 cough ok 27, 9 yrs ncd, 182 = £401

Thanks guys - I am quite cheap to be honest ! :o

Just try car soap and water first before using anything.

Spot on, nice work.

Thought I recognised it, over Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant then IIRC

Cheers, is that Robs car?

Any idea on the rest of the prep David?

Looks wise there was nothing in it for me. Most of the look to your paint is from the polishing.

Looked good at the RWS, what did you use before Trax did not spot any difference?

May see if David can add some to my order if it has not gone. Though it sounds like Souveran a little in that respect then.

Ease of use aswell - really?

Ideally a good polish and a sealant too. But at least a coat of polish of some sort. Autoglym Super Resin is the easist to find product. If your ordering some P21s from http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/ maybe consider Clearkote Vanilla Moose Wax Hand Glaze or Poorboy’s Polish with Carnauba...
