Well, I have silver car, and know its not going to have the shame reflection and shine as a warmer/darker colour, but want to get it as clean as possible, and get some good shine. I also love beading, so this would sway me towards a wax at the end over a sealant.
This is what I plan to do...
May have the opportunity to buy one local to me.

I like my Poppy Coral Air Freshner, but the very limited range of scents available is a bit of a limiting factor.
What I am thinking of doing is making some custom refills, that fit in the empty scent container (the plastic refill that clips inside).
I am thinking of doing a few various...
Cant post in other marques, as dont feel the need to pay as I dont have a Clio anymore. Well after ditching the clio last year due to it being a very expensive beast, I got myself a 1.6 glx 306.
After just over a year of happy ownership, I have just sold that and got another 306...
This was parked in the Asda car park the other night. Actually looks nice in the flesh, not sure about the back, but the front looks ok, and it's growing on me. RS Megane should be good.
Then when I came out, this was parked next to it.
Interesting to see them alongside each other...
I have an Alpine 9870r headunit, and am looking at buying an Ipod Nano 4g. Now it says the kce 422i cable for linking these will not charge the 4th gen nano.
My question is will the following product let me charge the ipod as well? Its a v=bit unclear on the Apple website to be honest as to...
I have an old set of seats to dispose of, as its not worth the hassle of selling them for the paltry amount I would get for them, and just wondered if there was some special way of disposing of them. Can i just take to my lcal waste disposal site? They have side airbags fitted.
I recently knocked a car in the works car park whilst reversing. I got out straight away, and saw I had scratched the corner of her front bumper and craacked the indicator lens cover. I went straight in, found out whose car it was and we went and looked at the car. She tried to say that the...
Has anyone got an ipod linked up to their alipne headunit using the Alpine kce-422i lead?
I got one and the ipod freezes after 25 minutes use whenever its connected. The whole point of getting that lead was to enable me to control the pod via the HU, and it charges the ipod as well.
The...
My flat mate just did his engine bay on his Leon Cupra using the following method:
1. Engine running at idle for 5 minutes.
2. Engine off, spray everything under the bonnet with WD-40
3. Bonnet down, leave for 5 minutes
4. Open bonnet and wipe everything down with clean cloth
5. sparkling...
Can someone please tell me the Renault Part number for an ABS reluctor ring to fit a 2003 1.6 16v Dynamique? Rough idea on price would be much appreciated too.
I appreciate it may be hard to find but the dealers insist you cant get them seperately. Help much appreciated as I dont want to have...
I love my car when it looks like this, but people who may have seen my other threads will know I am considering selling. Either way, here are some pics from yesterday.
Is it possible to part exchange a car for one of lesser value and recieve the difference in cash?
Just thinking about this as I need to be able to have my next car as soon as I get rid of my Clio.
Think its time i bought a car that doesnt fall apart every month.
Since buying it in May 2007, it has needed the following done:
New external temp sensor
4 ignition coils, which I was forced to buy from Renault as needed the car running to get to work, didnt have time to wait for Ebay jobs...
Thinking of selling my OZ alloys and returning my car to a standard look by sticking the dynamique alloys back on.
16" OZ SuperTrismo GTs in silver. Offset ET 37 with Toyo Proxes tyres in 195/45/16.
One rear alloy curbed slightly, (i believe by the garage when it was in for adriveshaft...
Got my insurance renewal from Quinn Direct, paying monthly it is £488.00.
Got some quotes based on same details, here are some examples -
Adrian Flux - £724.60 (before any monthly charges)
The closest I could get was Kwik Fit at £490.00
How come there can be such a difference? Do they...
Well, my car failed its MOT on friday as the rear offside spring was fractured. Eibach Pros, so emailed pics to the place I bought them and they have just got back to me to let me know a replacement is being flown over from Germany for me.
Good customer service I think, hats off to POTN and...
Car just failed its MOT this morning as one of the rear Eibach Pro Line springs was broken. Luckily I have the original springs still, so the garage are fitting the rears back on.
I bought the springs from POTN in July 2007, so caled them and they say to send some phtos of the broken spring...
I just fitted my completely plain, Halfords legal plates. No borders, very subtle shadowed postcode, name and BS number. I actually prefer them to my regular plates, they just look so much 'cleaner' will post pics tomorrow after it hopefully passes its MOT.
A guy I work with has just appeared in court after being caught driving without a full license and therefore no insurance.
His punishment? £160 fine payable at £5 per week, and 3 points on his license.
Quite lenient i think personally.
I have just started fitting my new OZ Super-Ts, and the bloody torque wrench has scratched the alloy. Looks like it has dug through the lacquer to the metal. Going to go and buy a double depth socket to give some more clearance once my lazy ass flatmate gets out of bed to give me a lift to...
Well, I have spent today building up a few layers of AG EGP on my brand new OZ Super Ts before my Poorboys wheel sealant arrives.
Basically I am just wondering what torque I should be doing the wheel bolts up to when I fit my wheels?
Well, my MK2 Ph2 1.6 is in for its 36k today, and this is what I got for my courtesy car:
So i thought I would write a small review. Won't have much time to drive it as I have to wait in for some deliveries today, but I did give it an extended drive back from the garage first thing...

I am looking to buy an Alpine head unti so I can have something that looks a bit more like it belong in the car ie black with amber illumination.
Anyway, I already have an iso adaptor fitted to my jvc HU, will this work with an Alpine? As none of the sites I look on seem to have a wiring...
