I would agree Alcantara can go grubby but if you look after it, cleaning wise etc it will last. Hardly like the standard wheel lasts. Melts at the sight of hands.

Just a cheap carnauba wax mate. It'll bead nicely for a little while. :)

My new favourite though was the Vredestein Sessantas. I mentioned before but you'll see a lit of Focus RS mk1/2 boys running them on the cars instead of the expensive Contis. They really surprised me how good they were.

Good price, good all round tyre.

Couldn't confirm mate just read a while back on here that the "foam" if you will was a little thicker. Less rubbing between that hard frame. Tbf im the foam won't help if you're sliding in and out like a mong.

Very poor % but they will do that a lot through the year. "Admin costs". Miss your chat mate!

I wouldn't even say the Clio was that cheap to run. Insurance certainly isn't. I said before I was getting quotes for £££'s more than the TT for 182s etc. Tax isn't cheap. Tyres again not inexpensive being 16". In comparison to other hot hatches though i'd probably say Steve is right though...

Yeah DK said the same about his R26. I try not to compare things to the TT running costs wise. It was over 32k new so when something goes wrong which is not often on these it costs, a lot sadly, you can buy an M3 for 7k as anyone knows or a 7 series BMW for pennies! ;) In saying that...

No those are quite bad mate.

It was meant to have more foam between the body of the seat and the cover. No excuse imo it can be avoided. Cover the seat for 90% of journeys or take more care.

Potential? S3 to Ecosse? <3

Looks superb mate. The reps are a bit poor but the discerning man would never know. Oh and how is Black to live with?

People who can't enter cars properly annoy me.

Those Meganes have grown on me a lot. The 225s seems decent price. Even the F1 can be had for cheap. The potential running costs put me off. Am I right?

Lovely looking thing though.

That's what I like to hear.

I think they're s**t so no. Why not just buy some decent ones for not much more?

My PH1 172 Yeah there was oil or something on the road... Or a deer... or a speed limit or something! :o <3

Even I could make a Dyno say what figures I wanted. I always laugh at people spending Ks with a tuning company and then being happy because it made XXXbhp. They're hardly going to tell you it made 10bhp after ploughing 5k into it. I'm just not into pub figures mate that's all but the...

I find it mental to think that it's such a massive celebration to gain 30bhp. It's got to be so frustrating! I mean you change an airbox in some cars and get 30bhp! So much money for so little gain. I know it's always been a bugbear for owners.

Eraser is better than ipa mate. I've just text a good friend who mow runs Carpro Uk. He's going to fire over his new email to me and i'll pm you it over. He'll sort you out. Forget the C4 mate. They've changed the formula of the Gtechniq stuff and it's simply not the product it was imo. You...

I have to say I would have no interest in retrimming a melted wheel. The wheel is way too big to start with. I'd be heading down the sabelt route. Infact it would be one of the first mods. Changes the whole feel of the car.

Sorry mate missed that. No layering but prep has to be 100% spot on! Yeah fire it on the plastics. I would personally use their dlux product on the trims but the normal one will work. Do you have twitter?

My PH1 172 Lols. I hear you Steve! It looks epic. Really does. The side strips do do so much for the ph1. Look great textured. Lovely example.

This will be most fun!

You put a bid on yet?

Autosmart and Dodojuice do the best rotary spot backing plate now. 3M still haven't brought one out. Mental.

Lols. Oh dear. I don't even like the word!

I love a good Monaco but prefer it slightly standard.

Surprising how Blue it looks in pics but very pearl Blue/Purple in the flesh.
