Sounds good. The new formulation of SRP is miles better than the old one. However AF Tripple is a good alternative. EGP is fairly average though. I like Autofinesse Tough Coat as a mid layer. For looks it's hard to beat Victoria wax Concours red. Very wet looking. Bouncer's 22 wax via Dodo...

What's your budget? Do you prefer looks or durability? What has your detail involved? Bare in mind that 95% of the looks comes from good preparation. The LSP just gives it a little something.

Good idea removing the splitter, its hideous! That GTI is stunning!

LOL. Who pays for recaros nowadays, I thought we just steal them?

Genuinley shocking. Pikey scum.

Glad you're pleased with the results. I too have a few concerns about the method though; - tape, already discussed - going straight in with fast cut, necessary? - claying without tar or iron decontamination. That's probably half the reason he went in with such an aggressive compound? - mixture...

Thanks for the email guys. Sounds like I got my OEM wheels and dampers at exactly the right time :) (just FYI, I ordered speedlines last april and recieved them in the August, custom order via speedline Italy I think).

People dont hesitate to spend megabucks on coilovers for £3k 172s though..

Twice in 2.5 years (apart from meets etc).

My guess at a figure would be to advertise for £7.2k Prices took a dip but then seem to have levelled out again. + not many with that mileage nowadays - its a 7 year old small french car

I guess that means mine was the last pair in existence then :/

Just to confirm; balanced, N2 inflated, and fitted. You can also buy them now and get them fitted whenever you want free of charge. I only changed the rears, the fronts have about 2mm left in them yet. The other 2 are now at home for when I need them.

Just a quick heads up: The buy 4 tyres and get 20% discount offer is on throughout June. I've just got 4x 205/45/16 w rated michelin PS3 fitted for £383. Happy days :)

One of many in Reading

I'm supposed to be with CS, but I'll aim for the Trophy area unless I get waved somewhere else.

I'm on 63k but my mileage has dropped significantly now. It's also garaged now, wish it could've always been that way :(

All springs are yellow iirc.

Tragic

Are you back on standard exhaust Jon?

The mounts are required for the RS2 manifold. Also, as far as I'm aware the dogbone is merely a stabilising mount, not support. It just stops excessive engine movement under varying load/rpm. Therefore I don't think it would be unreasonable to assume that if any of the mounts were going to...

I have the opposite. Updated upper mounts and standard dogbone.

At first there was a little more vibration through the wheel and pedals but after a week or two the combination of them bedding in and me getting used to it, I forget I have them now. The gear change really is night and day over the standard stirring-a-bucket-of-coal sensation.

Uprated engine mounts. When fitted correctly the vibration is minimal, the gear change is infinitely better, and the whole drive chain just feels less... French.

Don't stick to factory intervals for the sake of your dephaser.

This.

Pm'd on CS. Re: decat

For the pair or each? New or refurbed?

West's renault on Cliosport.net Rears- £200ish/pair Front- £950/pair I'll get you a link tomorrow if no one beats me to it
