You know how some music is all like, doo deee daaa waaa weee aahhh ummmm... But then other music is all like, UNTER MMCHA ERRRRRRR QWENNNT ZZEERD BOOMKA He means your wheels would be the second one. If they were music. I think that clears it up

Thanks mate. Incorrect about the plate, but other than that you're right Shiny is down to harsh car park strip lighting and the excellent AMMO Skin Defense (and the new one bucket, sponge wash process ) which is now sadly empty

Welcome along! I can't believe I've never seen such a nice red roadster round here before.

It's been mainly maintenance of late but I managed to squeeze in a cheeky mod or two in the latest round of upkeep. The bumper was suffering from the usual stone chips and coming off worst in the battle versus speed bumps at work, so it was time for a freshen up. Whilst she was in, I got thinking why not drop the plate onto the grille and deal with the holes from behind the plinth A little before and after action. It has't moved far in yardage but I much prefer it down there, cleans the front end up nicely. No idea why I didn't get it shifted ages ago when the lip went on I had a small scratch on the offside spat properly resprayed after the less than fantastic job I did after the back lost a fight with a gate post. No picture, but there's nothing to see, so perfect really! Then for a mod that I have had my eye on almost since I first bought the Zed, but never fancied splashing the cash on until a GB from Tarmac - thanks his I couldn't decide for ages whether to go gloss black or body colour, but finally made my mind up and had these Stillen louvres fitted and painted. I know they're not for everyone, but I absolutely love them For me, with the glossy back roof and the glossy black wing mirrors, I think they work really well as a glossy black trio I'm definitely done with exterior mods now, so that is a partial Zeditis cure. Except maybe wheels, one day... PS - when I got to the bodyshop, it was being washed with one bucket and a sp... I can't even say it. Please don't tell ilogikal1...

I hope it's off site and secured in a fire proof, flood proof location?

Extremely poor man management, how does he think your motivation levels will respond to being held back in this way? It's short sighted and counter productive. I'd be speaking to the new manager and making your feelings clear. Perhaps suggesting you would help in the recruitment process for any successor, as well as a facilitating a decent length handover period? Good luck bud.

Yay, all arrived. High point of the freezing winter months. Thanks to all those who made it happen

Wifi repeaters are cheap as chips, but it can be a PITA in some buildings placing them somewhere that has a strong connection to the existing Internet router AND also creates a useful wifi cloud that penetrates into the areas where you want to boost signal - especially if you have old, thick walls or are going up a few floors. What I did was take an old sky router, lay one cat5 cable to the weak wifi area from the main router then use the old sky router to make a wifi cloud in the poor signal area. All it cost was a length of cat5 and a long drill bit. Set the wifi name and password to the same as the main router and your devices should happily automatically flip between the two clouds as you move around the homestead.

Hopefully karma will do its magic and they'll wake up impotent, or get crabs, or thier teeth will fall out, or suffer a blunt instrument trauma when the next person turns out to be more mental than they are.

Were you expecting any corrective action from a wax? Also what backing plate do you use?

The DJ microsuede linked are 40x40cm so a proper size for doing things like decent expanses of glass and not full of grease after 2 minutes, like I find with the tiny glasses case type versions. I keep one in the arm rest with some glass cleaner, so I can do my dash, stereo, mirrors whilst sat in traffic If you've got time to lean, you've got time to clean.

Good info, there's sh!tloads of MFs out there and it's good to find some that someone else has tried and tested for you I demand all mine are hand made in South Korea, natural home of the microfibre worm Another style here. I think these microsuede babies are pretty cool, they love dust and glass. I keep a few for delicate non-car jobs too (iPhone, iPad, iMac). http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dodo-Juice-Supernatural-Microsuede-Cloths/dp/B004GU5276

And here was me thinking you were one of the three people who actually read my thread. You won't regret it, it's impressive stuff. There's just so many products that pop up and I've got a terrible memory for them as they all use the same adjectives/hyperbole, it's espcially bad with the products that I can't say out loud, like Gyeon

I believe Clark Motorsport sell the spacers, defo worth a PM. Could use it as an excuse to get an UpRev and cure it permanently with a deletion

Yeah, if only there were someone here who was way ahead of you there... PMSL I did a quick google search against this place before I posted it, no hits, then lo and behold it's way back there on this very thread Just ordered some, ta!

Too good/easy to use to be true? http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/shop/gyeon-q2m-wet-coat.html "Gyeon Q2M WetCoat is probably the world's easiest way to coat a vehicle with quartz based self-cleaning layer.

Carbon fibre panels? Adjustable suspension? It's a Mustang Captain, but not as we know it.

Yeah, it's ace. Worth it just to top up on fresh, clean microfibres and there's usually 2 products I would never have bought myself, so it's perfect in that respect

I liked the orange MF in the waxybox so much I ordered another two, one is just for my iMac though Re: suds - Don't you think the amount of shampoo suds is indicative of the level of lubrication in between mitt/sponge and paint? I always feel so much happier with a sudsy shampoo as it glides over the paint, I imagine it's installing fewer defects ????

I'm working the next few weekends on the boounce When is it?

Hope they clear the brembos...

Group buy?????

I get a bit of condensation in one from time to time, so was looking at getting them done and obviously re-sealed at the same time. I'd want to lose the Amber strips too has anyone got a linky for the clear reflective strips?

Whatever you choose to run it on, as long as you're honest about what you've been pumping, then it's up to you The only thing that would suck balls would be to lie about it when you sell it on.
