That's fair enough. Pretty much every person I know who has an xBox has had RROD with it. Mine, however, has been stellar for as long as I've owned it.
Cup packed 182's come with AC so the Aux belt wil need changing. Belts are located to the left of the block (as you look at it) and quite a bit needs to be shifted to get to them - bumper, arch liners, head, etc. Good 6 hour job for an experienced mechanic.
I have to say I'm not a fan of the painted wheels, and the front bumper. Wouldn't personally have the exhaust either, but that's not saying it's bad.
What I do like, though, is the colour - that paint is stunning, particularly in the photo of the Clio badge. Which I also think is brilliant...
I've just removed the RS badges from the back of my Clio.
I used boiling water, and some fishing wire/plastic card.
To get rid of the leftover resin, I sprayed WD40 on the paintwork (it was still wet from the water, agitated it in with a brush, then used AG Intensive Tar Remover - rubbed on...
My mate's got the 355 kit for his old MR2. Proper Rosso Red paintwork, genuine 355 wheels, badges etc. It's such a a mess though, he hasn't touched the interior, and the glass still has the Toyota etchings on it. Plus, it's slow as hell, and sounds like an everyday MR2.
He wants to sell it...
Yeah, I have a small detailing brush, fits perfectly between the lettering on my badges. I use Meg's QD and it seems to help, but then it's just a case for maintenance for me, i.e I'm not removing months/years of build up.
I thought that the Trophy was awesome, one of, if not the, nicest car there. Loved the bonnet. It's turned out to be an expensive night - I'm heading to JMS on Tuesday, and after seeing some of the cars in action, I can safely say I'm probably going to try and spend more money than planned :(...

I bought that one, just select the fitment you need (i,e Karcher) and away you go.
I'm sure that there will be swirling, if how you describe the general condition of the paintwork is anything to go by. The best way to check is to shine a light on the bodywork, you should see faint swirling better underneath it.
Polishes won't be affected by car colour - polishes differ in abrasiveness, not colour toning.
Waxes are the field where you'd look at getting a colour-specific product.
Can't wait for this game. LOVED MoH:AA on the PC, which is always the format I'll prefer to play 1st person shooters on. Hoping that the new MoH is as quality as Allied Assault was.
