Hi Everyone,

I am newish to here and I got my car yesterday and thought i would give it a clean today.
Method was:
Snow foam lance
2 Bucket Method
AG SRP
AG EGP
The Rude boy wax

Only managed one coat of each as it looked like it could rain any time.

Pictures were taken on my n95 so quality is not amazing and the sun didn't bother to come out either :dapprove:.

I am very happy with it so far.

Thanks again for all the comments.
I wasn't to sure on the colour from all the pictures on the internet, but when i got there and saw it in real life i had to have it.


Awesome dude :) They're so much fun aren't they hehe!

Yes they are, it is immense compared to my old 1.4 saxo. It is just better in almost every single way (Only cost is it's downfall)

How do you think it compares to your Vee or can you not really say as you shock was knackered.

Also one thing i have noticed is that after about 5500 rpm there is like a metal vibration noise, i have heard other mention this but never really found out an answer. Is it ok or should i take it to a dealer?

Awesome matey...they are so much fun to drive!!

Are you the first owner??

No metal 'vibration' from mine at 5.5k...once it gets into its stride at the top of gears at over 7k theres a sort of 'buzzing' but this seems to be standard across the board on them..

No not the first owner, he got it in Feb and now wants a R26.
Yeah it is more of a buzzing sort of noise, may be i don't need to worry then.
