  1. Washed and attempted to add a layer of tough coat. Heavens opened though and ruined it.
     
  2. Painted some more of the inside, refitted the turbo and purchased my front polycarb windows
     
  3. Cleaner it yesterday. It was disgusting as it hadnt been cleaned since the end of September! Short trip up the motorway last night to go for some food and the rear is fikthy again ... brilliant!
     
  4. Hate how dirty the rear gets

    Bum needs a good wiping.
     
  6. Thats what mine looked like before yesterday and how it looked a few hours after cleaning it ... fml
     
  7. Totally agree the rear really gets dirty easy on this car very frustrating
     
  8. Rear mud flaps help
     
  9. Washed it. Dried it. Fecked everyone off in the queue for the jet wash when two buckets came out of the boot at the petrol station :wink:
     
  10. I always do that. Used to feel awkward if people are waiting, then realised you're putting money in the machine just like them! :wink:
     
  11. What a good idea what do you do fill both buckets up with the jet wash then jet wash the car then use the 2 bucket method
     
  12. YUP!!

    Brought my own super suds in the bottom of the bucket. My towels (as I won't use their brush). Throw a couple of quid in the machine and filled two buckets with their pre wash. Then with the remainder douse the car. Then two bucket the car using the jet wash to clear off wash down and "wax". To be honest its more than enough till the car rolls the 1/4 mile back to my garage where I will wash each panel before polishing anyway. Just gets rid of the salt off the car before parking it up. Then I can wipe down each panel at a time and clay,polish wax at my leisure.

    I started doing it last year as I got sick of buying Kârchers only for them to keep breaking. One lasted 2 washes!!! Plus I dont have to tidy up after.
     
  13. I usually advise them that I'm going to be some time [​IMG] I also usually do it late at night.
     
  14. These arrived on my desk.

    Extremely happy with how quick the intercooler took to get here 3 working days from the Netherlands

  15. Fitted my winner racing FMIC, new headlights and Led side lights.

    Managed to blow a side light fuse in the process, which took out the rear and number plate lights too.

    Think it took me longer to change the fuse than it did to fit the intercooler lol
     
  16. How easy was it to change the intercooler? Straight fit?
     
  17. 30 min job inc bumper off and back on.
     
  18. That an rstuning decat?
     
  19. Like Steve said only bout 30 mins to change over but the winner racing intercooler needs a bit of trimming of the lugs or it sits pissed

    Extra 10 mins to get it level and sitting correctly
     
  20. Nice one that'll be a job for the weekend then.

    Yes it is @chris
     
  21. I gave mine a wash on the drive Saturday but will just take my prewash in a pump sprayer to the garage and hose down to keep on top of the grime/brake dust until the weather improves
     
  22. Markblack@MRS

    Markblack@MRS RSM Trader

    Fitted the rear polly windows and new seat bases
     
  23. What pump sprayer have you got?
     
  24. Your getting to much into detailing Kev lol
     
  25. Brought an 'R26r' cig lighter
    [​IMG]
     

  26. Me and my niece have just done mine.

    Never thought about doing it tbh but 3 mins later it's hell of lot cleaner, ease of use just to blast all the Crap off.

    Until I get the detailing gear out.

  27. Is there a difference
     
  28. Apparently it's an updated design Steve. The old one has a cover that says 12v and this is plain. My other was Dodgey and I don't use the cigerette bit so just oreder this. £26 :-/
     
  29. Fitted a new passenger side wiper and put in a temporary headlight while the hid kit is away with the company getting replaced under warranty
     
  30. I just use a 2 litre one from asda .... does the job perfectly! Not paying stupid prices for a pump sprayer

    Bargain really for the design improvement I'll get one ordered to.
     
  32. I know its biting!!!!
     

  33. Just to to be clear I didn't buy one for the design update.... I actually needed a new one....
     
  34. Filled the tank up for less than £50! :smile:
     
  35. Driven it past a camera van on a bridge over the A38 doing more than the speed limit...saw it but think it was too late, I'll find out next week!
     
  36. New Brembo pads and disks up front,
    Front calipers painted silver
    New windscreen washer pump

    Rear pads and discs tomorrow, and a caliper paint.
     
  37. Brembo pads are just Ferrodos :wink:
     
  38. Where did you here that ?
     
  39. Its stamped on the back of them.
     
  40. Fitted updated rear speakers. Will not be repeating that anytime soon. Right ball ache.

    Sound is is deffinately worth it though but I need to get some pop rivets from renault soon.
