Do you want to do one day on, one day off on these threads? xx

No Dave. LP would replace SRP. But LP doesn't have fillers that can mask marring/scratches.

As mentioned to Josh Medici99 in the thread above this one (actually it's in a PM so I'll copy and paste in a sec), the paint cleanse step is well worth it to ensure a good bond between paint and LSP.

Yes Kevin. LP is a good product, I will take off my NODODO blinkers for this.

All explained in the reply to your PM Josh.

Polish, SRP or Lime Prime, both from I4D. Try using something else shampoo wise as well, like Megs Gold Klass or A.N.Other. Wax wise, depends on your budget chap. Loooaddddss of choices. Natty's Blue at the £15 end, Swissvax Onyx at the £45 mid point and Best Of Show at the other end ;)

It depends on how much cushioning your backside has ;) My 1.2 had no go, but handled like an Elise due to coilovers, spacers, tyres and solid top mounts. But Renault couldn't have released it in this form as my mother would have hated it. But I'm just repeating Warren.

And not to echo Warren's point too much, but with your reasoning why would Clio Cup cars run coilovers instead of standard shocks and springs . . . ?

Precisely!

Awful interior :( But gorgeous/fave colour for these. Dave, wasn't yours the same colour?

Because it will chip with any stones that hit it for one thing. It will dull the finish most likely and varnish is not as easy to remove if you c**k it up ;)

It's a NA engine, what were you expecting?

They work for around three days. Then go back to being the same smell. If you want to get rid of aircon smells, it's not a simple "buy a spray". I means the liquid in your aircon system is old and very stale. Worth just getting it cleaned out, flushed with a cleaner to get rid of bacteria and...

No worries. If you want product help or advice/links, post up.

Precisely lad.

As said, marmite colour and I'm not on the "mite" side. Lovely car though!

1. spray off surface crud using hose/pressure 2. use pressure washer and snow foam the car and leave for few mins 3. pressure wash off 4. use 2BM and wash car 5. rinse 6. de-tar 7. clay 8. Polish 9. wax 10. enjoy

Oh and you should be tar removing after washing.

You need to polish after claying. As well as the above.

Again, here strikes the difference between "cleaning" and "washing" and "detailing". I clean my car weekly, usually, and have a good number of products to use. I detail my car once a year or so using 10's of products, hours and brain cells.

Heard chatter about Lotus paint being quite hard, but absolutely nothing to back up either argument . . . ? And as for the wine, I have similar friends who are potential clients, so would be interested in the name of his company?

As with paint Trev, cutting pad, cutting polish. Recently 3M yellow with some old Menz IP that was lying around, refined with FF.

If your car comes out looking better than brand new, and you're a car nut, you'll be pleased. Simples.

Lol at the Derby posting. I work out of my m+d's garage, whatchya sayin'.

I wonder what the sudden launch of media interest was sparked by . . . as mentioned, I was texted this morning with The Sun's article. It's been in a lot of other papers, as well as being on BBC radio 1-4 . . . But good on him! And yes Russ, clearly not had my morning coffee lol!

It's been done - search for Matt Black's Clio TT. Circa 400 horses from a 1.8T VAG unit.

:( </3 when Rich left/stop posting. edit; but does depend on paint thickness, hence the use of a guage.

Depends when you can get down here!

Epic! Well played that man.
