    Will Trophies turn pink over time?

    I used to have a red Fiat Coupe 20VT a few years back. Really fun little thing, didn't handle well but looked good and went pretty quick. BUT: it turned completely pink over two years as the pigment in the paint oxidised (or whatever it does). It was an R-reg and this was in 2002. So I'm...

    Front Seats

    Admittedly, I'm being very picky here, but the normal process of wear on the front seats due the seat belt has become irritating over the last couple of weeks. Also on the upper section of the seats, where your shoulders rest, has become slightly worn. Are there any products that can be used...
