It's been so hard not to troll you on here for having no car recently, Jon. But you made the right choice by getting everything done.
Was a nice surprise to see it out last night (even though you slipped up a little by text before hand
)
Just wait for summer now to get the most out of it

Cheers mate.
I desperately cannot wait for summer.
Went up to shineorama today as they had an open day. Got to try a few products like Swissvax Shield, Dodo Supernatural Hybrid, Prima Banana Gloss, Prima Amigo and some other bits and bobs. They also let a couple of us use there snow foam and pressure washer to give the cars a clean.
As mine had been sat at birchdown for the past month it needed a good clean, so I jumped at the chance. Could of photo's with Paul's and Fox's 'PH Balanced' Snow foam concoction.

That snow foam looks funky
I forgot to take an after picture. Car looks much cleaner now, could do with a good shampoo though.
Good looking car there mate, you've done a fine job looking after it, just like you should for a trophy
I will blatantly be copying the new style badge position btw lol.
Cheers. I think the new style RS badge looks mint. Much better that the standard style.
Where did you buy yours? The dealers charge a fair bit iirc

looks nice trophy, not keen on the thumb grips just look out of place to me
I got my sister to buy it me off ebay. Think I saved about £10-£15 on dealer price.
Don't buy a used one as the adhesive will be gone on the back of them.
No worries. They're a better sight in the flesh and look much better than a hole in one the the thumbgrips.
Yep, I'm either going to find out what Steve and Andy used to do the other bits, or find another colour like black, then possibly polish up the Renault Sport on the top.
Someone suggested I do it the same colour, get an engine colour and do that black to match the rest of the plastics. So I'll have to see what I can do to tidy the rest up.
Does feel like a very different car after all the work. I'll probably stick it back on Paul's rollers at RSTuning at some point just for comparisons sake.
Fiesta ST-3
Mint trophy is mint!!!

Thumb grips look epic, you need a CF renaultsport insert on the wheel and also on the gearstick, then whilst you're at it you may aswell get the dash strips and clock surrounds too.
God I love CF.
God I love CF.
The thumb grips feel soooo nice
I know!
i dont normally go for red cars but after the good clean looks spot on mate
treat it well
Cheers pal.
Do you want to give, not lend, me the money for all that?
As much as I would like all that, it would cost me the earth LOL.

If I was rich then yes.
Unfortunately I'm not due to my car costing me more in fuel than a veyron would.
Picked up my new splitter this morning from Skoda for £12.67.
Before:
This is the box it comes in:
VW Group
Nice and bent... Thanks :|
Jacked up one side of the car to make access a bit easier, old splitter off:
New one on:
Needs to be tidied up just a little, maybe move the bolts back in a few places to its looks tidier. Went on alright even though it was freezing. Can't complain for the price of it really.
Also whilst cleaning my boot of of tools, I removed my in-tacked cambelt, and this little lump:
Yep, thats part of the aux belt that got wrapped up in something causing the issues I've had.
Giving it a clean tomorrow morning, ready for TOPO tomorrow.

Car looked epic when following you home over Woodhead, so glad to see it back on the road and that the rebuild hasn't put you off driving it properly.
Summer WILL be fun.

With the windows up I couldn't hear it, windows down I didn't hear it either tbh...And it's not like mine is loud enough to drown yours out...

Yeah, when we're parked up it's quite loud. Mine sounds loud in the cabin, it's louder when I let off though.
Wheels could do with a refurb
Aye, I know. It is on my list of things to do, but they are not urgent.
