Welcome to CS. Colour wise - 182 Cups Inferno Racing Blue Normal and Cup Packed 182's the above Plus Black Gold Silver Arctic Blue and i.d colour (1500 quid option new) Liquid Yellow Petrol Blue

You looked across as we passed you (red 306 GTi 6), you had a female passenger in the car.

When using very fine papers to sand they fill up with the removed material very quickly so it the water cleans off the dust. The water lubricates the suface to help the finish become nice and smooth. The origional old school way I was taught to do it was with bars of hand soap. Now I mix up some...

Dont bother with it, save a bit more and get the PC, like Shaun says its not got the power for doing any paint correction.

That process is fine.

Remind me to bring you some to try at the West Mids meet. I used to use it before if found the Vanilla Moose, not used it since! True paint cleaner wise to remove oxidisation etc, I prefer klasse AIO. The increase shine, gloss and wetness VM.

I find the Megs Gold Class a bit milder, the NXT wash never leaves the paint feeling as nice.

Looking good.

Welcome to CS, enjoy the 182.

Welcome and enjoy.

The Megs Kit clay only comes as a kit, but you can buy other Clay bars on there own. I do this as I clay using soapy water. Some here http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/sp/products/maintenance.php

Any nice mild polish, pre wax cleaner should do well. Auotglym Super Resin or Cleakote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze.

To repair the grainy feel in the laquer, wait till the paint/laquer is nice and hard. Wet sand with some 2000 grit, and then polish, should come out all smooth and shiny.

When the Laquers coats are fully dry hard you can flat that back with 2000 and then polish to improve things further.

NXT will remove the the Gold Class as it has light cleaners in it. For best results you need to pre polish the paint first, so if the paint is in good shape, you are good to go with the NXT.

Out of the two Gold Class or the NXT - I would pick the NXT. Chances are I wouldnt use either though! You looking for a natural wax or a sealant Kev?

Let them dry properly, wet sand and polish.

You can clean up wet sanding marks by hand, just will take lots longer than by machine. I know this is extreme, but this took lots of passes with a PC and a cutting pad to sort.

Width wise approx 140mm at the widest point at the bottom.

I would be tempted to hire the compressor to. Its all in the prep, take you time, allow everything to dry, rub down between coats etc. Try and find somewhere, warm, dry and dust free to do it. Using Metallic paint you will need to laquer.

Looks good, sweet example.

Mine was at home waiting, not read it yet, but pictures look good!

Choose the dock cable option if you going the denison route and hide it away.

Think thats always the case, as soon as you buy something a newer ones comes out. Must say I am - Not overly impressed with my D500 but it still works, picked that last year and didnt know what to get when upgrading just because I could.

^^^^^ Nicely installed. I went for the dock cable only option and just put mine in the glovebox after running the cable into there - as I hate any stuck on type brackets on the dash.

I may wait a bit longer and see if anything comes up then, was going to get an N70 just for the sake of upgrading earlier.

Hope you dont need to buy your flat back when she see's the Trophy! ;)

Did they have the W900 on O2 Si? I called them the other day to upgrade mine as my contracts up and the woman said she didnt know when they where getting it in?

Considered the Type R when I was buying the 182, found them very different cars. If you like the CTR and the way it drives, then maybe its the car for you. Wasnt for me. My friend picked his CTR up a week after I got the 182, 5 + odd long drives back to back I am still glad of the choice I made.
