    roof wrap

    +1 gloss black Been thinking of this as well, matt finishes will be a real pig to keep clean although did hear about a carbon wrap that's now in gloss but not seen anyone selling it yet but maybe worth looking out for.

    Why does the clio bring out the k**b in other drivers....?

    People sitting on the rear bumper is so common now both on and off the motorway, had another beemer muppet who must've been upset when I left him through 2 sets of chicanes I have local to me, keeping at speed limit thou and just flick the 197 through them but saw he had slow right down, then he...

    Superchips Blue Fin ECU Remap ???

    That's a very good saving, as I was looking into cost ownerships between my 197 and newer eco based cars and surprisingly apart from cheaper road tax the petrol to diesel comparison was only £15 per month saving so with 1 of these that offsets it nicely. Was also surprised as well regarding...

    Cold gearbox woes

    Does it change gear with engine off What about the linkage, there's 2 gear control cables might worth checking that their moving correctly, but it is odd that it comes and goes as would expect if it's problem with linkage then it will always be a problem.

    Post De-Badge Outline

    Pay a local detailer a visit or paint shop and get them to have a go with a machine polisher as it will always does a better job than trying by hand

    Which is the best Track for a novice

    It is still a minority who are muppets but also the organisers are to part blame as well as they should pulling them in, and like has been said usually everyone gets on well and respects each other, so don't let the negative comments put you off, as it's the safest amount of fun you can have...

    Build your perfect 197/200

    Well modern paint is softer and when Ive had to get the front end's of the newer cars resprayed, I asked the sprayer once 'why do car paints now suffer so badly' and got told what I just posted as the reason. In my youth my cars were from 70/80's and the paintwork never suffered like the...

    It's soft, which is why all car paint after it's use was enforced suffer so badly with stone chips and scratch easily. Older paints were much more hard wearing mainly due to having lead in them and a few other now deemed nasty chemicals that all helped in making it tuff.

    New UR 200

    Just seen the picks looks awesome and I've not seen a 200 in UR, really suits it. I'd have told them to forget the valeting and just gone down their and picked it up, how dirty can a new car really be? Plus I would want to use my own cleaning products on it, but then I do enjoy detailing.
