My local normal rip off shell garage that sold optimax at 105.9 has just changed to v-power. Better still it's going for 99.9!!! I had a huge smile on my face at the pump when i saw it was v-power and 99.9 then i thought to myself how sad am i!!! lol :lol: Anyone else filling up on this...

Whats the best (reasonably priced) wax to use, i used to use Autoglym, how does this compare to Zymol stuff?

If you notice any spam posts please notify myself or Nik ASAP. We've both been busy recently so unfortunatly some spam posters are slipping through the net and managing to create posts with links to malicious websites. Sorry for any harm done :(

Has any one cleaned there seats yet? mine is getting a bit dirty from work and needs a clean. Anyone recommend any good products that wont stain or anything?

i was wondering what car wax everyone is using on there trophy's and what they think of it :?:

......I noticed a post by T23PHY (i think that's right) on cliosport.net about having his car permagarded (spot on stuff) and noticed brake disk rust. My trophy suffers from the worst disk rust I have ever had on a car - If it's parked for a couple of days It'll bind on. Anyone else noticed...

Here's another quick question!!! ;) My Trophy is Superguarded from the dealers, but I want to clean it and Zymol it today! Should the Zymol products strip back the Superguard, or do I need an additional cleaner/solvent to get rid of it?

I've been busy today, needed to give the car it's annual once over with the porter cable... Claying commenced at 06:45 am! You don't want to know how long it took :lol:

Obeying the sticker on my filler cap saying "Super Unleaded Recommanded (sic)", I only use super, which can take some finding out here. As hyb will attest, most filling stations round here only sell hay :roll: . What's everyone else's policy on fuel type? Super only? Super sometimes? 95 octane?

Not sure if Nik has seen this yet, but here is his Trophy with "subtle" front brakes today at Smeartharpe Airfield...

Few pics i took after a damn good cleaning session http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/Pistol1976/ :wink:

Hi everyone, I am going to book in a Permagard treatment for the little Clio. Anyone had any experience with the Permagard product? We have had a similar hard glossy coating on a car which we kept in very harsh conditions and it fared very well. BTW, they have quoted ~£150 for a...

Hi all I'm thinking about getting the Mintex pads that BB have on offer (M1155). Do you think I could just change my pads or would I have to change my discs at the same time? My initial idea is to get braided lines, upgraded fluid and the pads while leaving the stock discs (now with...

After months of waiting our local Tesco's have just got the 99 RON fuel in. Since I got the Trophy in October it's always ran on Shell Optimax so thought I'd stick a tank full of Tesco's special in. Bloody hell, if you can find a Tesco's that sell it then stick a tank full in, I burnt £25...

i've just got off the phone to Andrew at yozzasport, he was very helpful. I've decided to get new lines, fluid and pads, the only problem being whether to go for the PF97s or the DS2500s. Bascially, as those of you who were at bedford will have seen, i'm not very good at keeping my car clean, so...

:roll: highs today was going to town, on way down got a few admiring glances from the local lads, no not cos of me but cos of the car ( well at least i hope it was!) what i did notice tho as i went to petrol station and parked was the amount of attention you get from the local ladies, is...

I have been washing the car every week but would like to wax it. I have Zymol Autowash and Zymol Cleaner Wax and after using the autowash today then using the Chamois. I applied the Cleaner Wax and doesn't really come out as good as I hoped there are swirl marks really small ones. I don't do...

The car below is my Trophy that yesterday was in with Brazo (from ClioSport). His is the man when is comes to polishing/treating cars. The words are his: Unfortunatly the dealer did a ‘rush’ job on cleaning it. The car is absolutely brand new and was for a brand...

Thought I'd spend some cash on it and invested in some coilovers and some 18's from the megane. Here she is: Hope you like LOL - OK OK it's a photoshop courtesy of Mr Freebone :) I love it

Hello my first post might be taking delivery of a brand new 55 reg 182 trophy very soon if goes to plan will have made a cracking deal but I forgot to ask dealer about diamond brite protection, is this normally coated for a brand new car or is it extra? is it worth the extra or is Autoglym as...

When i set cruise control at say 60, the LED display shows 60, the speedo shows about 65/7 which is correct?

Well I went to bed all excited last night about getting the car today only to find it pouring with rain when I woke up. Annoyed right away. Picked the car up to find that it has no petrol at all(as promised) because of the panic buying going on. Still annoyed but happy to at least have the...

I've just been out and spunked loads of money on cleaning stuff, mits, polish etc. I got some of the polishing cloths which you cut up to size and then can use with polish, but the only thing is all the little threads that come off. I wish i hadn't started now. What cloths do you guys use?
