    refurbing alloys in white?

    Don't, will look rubbish and will always look dirty assuming you intend driving it as opposed to leaving it on the drive ....

    Regret Getting Carbon Fibre Bonnet

    Go back to the original bonnet. There's a reason that Renault didn't make them with a CF bonnet, because it looks like sh*t!

    painting rear 'black bit' on 182

    If you do your 182 will be taken from you and given to someone who has better taste! That's a "hell no" from me to on this one.

    Price and part number for a rear wiper blade (2004)

    colour matching

    Depending on the age and colour of the car, you may find that they need to adjust the paint so that you get a good match. If the paint is old it won't matter even if they get the original right.

    Shampoo Choice

    Zymol Autowash (£5.99 in Halfords, seems much more elsewhere) - smells great, plenty of suds and most importantly it doesn't strip the wax off.

    Pics wanted of anthricite 182 wheels on Arctic Blue

    Look on Autortrader - normally loads on there with this combo.

    break disc

    Do not ever clean the braking surface of the disc. If your discs are rusty it'll be because the car hasn't been used for a while and even then just a few droplets of water will rust the discs. If the discs become badly pitted with rust you may need to replace them. As Pepsi says, just brake...

    do you take your car in the car wash?

    Car washes are for people too lazy to wipe their own backside. Should have their car confiscated and given a bike instead. Simple really.

    Smashed my fog light, help please

    The only way to get to the retaining bolts is to take off the wheel and remove the wheel arch liner.

    White or not....

    Looks rubbish and as Peperami says they'll look like they need cleaning all the time. They didn't come in white for a reason ....

    Windscreen crack

    Adding windscreen cover to your insurance when you know you are going to claim straight away is fraud and an easy one to spot at that ....

    Windscreen Replacement- who to use?

    RAC Windscreens in Epsom did a great job refitting a rear window in my M3 and a crack in the front windscreen. Not too far from you either. I agree that it really does depend on the fitter as a general rule.

    turini's refurbed?

    Get them sent off to 'Pristine' www.pristinealloywheels.co.uk/ they did a full set on my M3 for £80 each, excellent job, like new. Can pay less, but if you want a proper job this cannot be done by some bloke in a van!

    debadging comments/views???

    Waste of time and money. People will think you're driving a 1.2 Dynamique if you de-badge .....

    Mk2 172 Alloy Refurb - what colour?

    Anthracite looks best with that colour blue - the 182 with cup packs and hence the anthracite alloys looks the business. White looks rubbish in my opinion ...

    Guidance on chip/scratch

    The second one looks like it would polish out to me. The first one might just be a matter of gradually building up layers of paint until it gets to the rigght level and then using polish to smooth it out.

    Wheel Refurbishment?

    'Pristine' if you want a professional job that looks as good as new. If you want an effect that looks like you did it yourself, get some guy from the back of his van with a tin of enamel.

    Why Not 182 Wheels ?

    Are these serious questions about weight? Even the most experienced racing driver would struggle to tell you which was heavier and that would be on the track.
