: So, how much petrol does everyone put in a week then? Bearing in mind I have a 20 mile commute Mon-Fri I get away with about £40-£50 a week with my odd little other journeys here and there, although I have been known to put in £200+ in less then a week without having really been anywhere far away!??!!

pretty nippy too! he let me take it for a spin

polished zorst...

Yet another wash thread with photos but I was keen to try out my new phone camera!! Just a basic wash to be honest , car shampoo, wax and autoglym polish to finish her off nicely. Is cleanest she has been in a while! (dirty girl..) After reading up on detailing on here I want to invest in some more cleaning products and do her proud, I'm thinking clay bar, wheel detailer and some megs ultimate compound to have a go on some of the scratches, swirl marks etc

Whilst parking in Lewisham on work related duties, having paid the required charge I was quite suprised to see this on my windscreen when I returned... Fair to say that putting your ticket on the dashboard is the usual place however the ticket simply states 'displayed visibly' - if the drivers side window isnt a visible place then I dont know what is!

Went to see my uncle in Croydon the other week. Few snaps of his recently purchased 2011 Volkswagen Golf R Think he has had his mid life crisis! Normally I am undecided on black wheels but they seem to work really well with the Golf R, especially in white!

woah they are big! any problems with rubbing?

+1 And get a Bug Sponge (Sponge in a net) from Halfrauds for the small areas that are really tough to remove with a normal sponge is that sponge not a bit too abrasive for the paint work?

how much roughly for gearbox oil change with some moly slip at independant garage?

whizz kid! very smart handles look so much better now, I would of suggsted colour coding them or black! great work

CF wrap them maybe if your going for the black and red look??

shame to see her go

looking good so far that carbon wrapped centre console looks sweet, nice and neat!

Its been sold!

so true thats whats happened with me!!

admiral have been cheapest for me for the last 3 years straight. It was cheaper to declare the car is parked on the road of an evening as opposed to driveway/garage as well which i found strange (too many wing mirror dings on the side of the house im guessing)

as the title goes does anyone have any receommendations as to which bug and tar remover to go with? Was in the supermarket today getting lunch and noticed a squirty bottle of the stuff for a few quid, is this more then adequate? And are there any harmful side effects on the cars paint in which case it pays to get something a bit more expensive/better from a named brand for example?? Thanks in advance

would love to buy the whole car! GLWTS Off topic but do you have a members build thread done on your car on here??

Hmmm...mixed opinions here I have washed in the rain a few times, finish is ok just for basic wash. The one time I did put swirls in the paint work was wash in the dry but that was down to poor equipment Washed the car sunday, filthy already now

The nissan dealer near me quoted over 300 quid for a p1 (not that I'd normally go to the stealers but wanted to gage a ballmark figure) the local independant done it for 90 all in. Pays to shop around and go with a garage that knows what they are doing (preferably having worked on zeds before etc)

Nice one, cheers!

Do I need special double sided tape for the new number plate to be stuck back on with?
