Saw this car this morning as well it is up the road from where I live, they have a Black R26 for sale in there I was enquiring about at a very tempting price.
Not a Trophy but a 182. Got fed up of waiting for the adapter leads for my Alpine so fitted a Dension Ice Link last weekend. Pleased so far, Trophys will need the Update list version. Cost £99 quid but I wouldnt recommend the place I orderd it from as they where very poor.
Judging by everyone who has got/driven one you wont be diaspointed, so I guess its a fairly safe car to buy without driving! LOL
I nearly did the same with the Peugeot 206 GTi 180 as I had always had Peugeots before, that could have been a big mistake!
Enjoy her went you pick her up. Cant believe you brought a car with a test drive first! But I guess you knew it was going to be at least as good as your 172.
This is a bit like the chips away/ dent devil type situations, they are only as good a the local guy in you area doing it. Worth asking around locally and seeing the quality off work before you commit. Not really my thing tbh but a friend has had his Type R done and they did a really good job...
I am a great carnuba fan and I prefer it over any off the the modern day sealants for looks. For most prople 30-60 days durability is not they want. They want long lasting sealants that last 3 -6 months are more likely to hold up to warm days in the sun.
Paint correction as I posted earlier...
Brand new paint would not need polishing at all if stealerships did not install swirl marks into it.
How do you exactly feel you are feeding your paint?
Carnuba is lovely for looks, I have a whole host of brands I love the stuff, and its ideal for me as I wax every week and have a garaged...
I could tell what products you used before I even got down as far as reading Swissol/Zymol due to all the "Feeding Paint" which is a total load off bull! Paint cannot be feed!
Yes you car over polish paint, yes 'heavy' polishing removes clearcoat, but tests have proved it removes alot less...
The machine will remove the swirls! As long as the car and pads are clean.
Wheres my Swirls Comedy Si?
Nik, modern paints are crap when it comes to withstanding the elements. I have had my PC for a few months now, its needed on Black Gold! Looking foward to seeing the results.
