To remove swirls they need to be machine polished, you can buy all the kit yourself or a pro will charge around £200-250 a day for paint correction from experience. You can buy yourself a decent machine polisher (id reccomend das6 pro) with everything you’d need for about £200

Yeah I wish I had a garage to do mine in, Ive used my work unit in the past but that involves lugging pressure washers and all my products 22 miles each way haha! Best bet regarding how hard the paint is, is to just do the usual test patches and see how it reacts, this is my 2nd 200, my first...

Pictures are horrendous as it was getting dark but I didn’t find the paint too hard on mine, although the menzerna 3500 which I used first didn’t touch it and was only good for refining really Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What products and pads and DA will you be using? You could probably do a single stage correction in a day including tar/fallout remover and claying etc, 2 stage (cut and refine) can be done in a day but it’s tight, start with the least aggressive combo (product and pad wise) and work up from...

Cheers guys yeah been really happy with it apart from the slight knock at the rear, drives really well and I don’t like to use the word mint as it’s 6 years old but it’s pretty close. Hopefully can keep it this way :)

Think I had it about 6 months before I got rid, main reason being we’d started saving to move out and was just costing too much to run/maintain whilst trying to save, I do about 45 miles a day for work minimum so filling up every 3/4 days wasn’t ideal awesome cars though and only going up in...

Forgot to chuck in some pics of my old 200 which may still be on here but now on a private plate I assume. Went a similar route with the old one. Ktec induction, h and r’s, recaros etc and an akrapovic evo exhaust (wouldn’t bother again) but ended up selling when I had my Subaru which I...

Yeah my girlfriend can’t stand the seats but oh well haha says they’re in comfy yet she’s literally half my size

Hi guys, Thought I’d get a progress thread started as I’ve had my 200 a fair few months now! Progress will probably be slow as I’m pretty happy with how the car is already but we all say that at the start so who knows [emoji23] As most of you will know this car was purchased from Chris who...

Any other thoughts? Springs and rubber cups they sit in look ok, although springs look very compressed is that normal? At a loss as to what it could be now. Driving me mad

Thanks guys will get it up and have a look at these options today, is there any tell tale signs for checking the shocks because as above they’re not leaking or anything but will check the rest and see how I get on :)

Hi guys! So I have a knocking noise when going over bumps,hitting bumps, potholes etc! It’s coming from the rear and was certain it was the standard boot latch knock, adjusted the striker plate about 15 times then replaced the actual mechanism as they’re cheap and still no luck. Also removed...

Would definitely say something can’t be right, even if people have different tolerances, but I found my akrapovic so quiet, didn’t sound that much different than my standard exhaust with silencer delete was so disappointed in it considering the cost.

Hi guys yeah I own this now :D I would start up a progress thread of my own but would be quite boring haha as the plan is to just keep it as it is really, going for a front bumper respray tomorrow then it’ll be 100%, and think the swivel joints will need doing before the mot but other than that...

Mind kept doing this,wiggle the pins slightly even if they look straight. Make sure you read the instructions too you have to wait 5 mins for the Ecu to stop the signal between itself and the pedal from what I remember.

Sounds good and fits well, had one on my 182 and bought one again for my 200.

Cheers guys. ended up being the pins I'm assuming after attempting to straighten them up, even though they weren't really bent/wonky in the first place?! now I've got it fitted and been able to use it for a day or so, I actually do like it! I know people say it's surely the same as just slamming...

It's meant to increase throttle response dramatically whether it works or not is another thing but seen many good reviews on it.

Thanks will give that a go tomorrow maybe, it's literally fresh out the box so wasn't expecting any problems I may ask for a refund last thing I want is my accelerator not working when driving, hasn't worked at all literally as soon as I start the car it says injection fault and won't Rev

Had a look through the threads but can't see any answers really, received my new sprint booster today so went to fit it after work, as soon as I went to start the car after fitting it comes up with injection fault on the dash, accelerator doesn't respond to anything and it idles at around 2k. i...
