No need to keep the private plate on such a new car. I'd take it off your hands if you cover my costs of the change.

Nice wheels!

Love these, always wanted one. Enjoy.

I have app radio (not that one but similar), didn't want to play with my iPhone 5 or iPad 3, but that's not why I bought it so not too fussed. It still streams bluetooth nicely for tunes and apple maps, and I've got a powered cable from it stashed in the cubby, nice 'n' easy for a fast charge on the move. Even the pro I used messed up the cable and steering controls, but at least it was on his dollar. GL

Looks mint mate, very nice motor. Congrats, I'm sure she's very refined, just like the owner. But what's that thing in between the front door and rear wheel? It looks like a door but I don't understand why you'd have another one behind the front one? Is it like that on both sides? Weird...

I love Jose, EPL has been properly dull without him. Welcome back. Little spell at Chelsea then on to England I say, just after Mr Roy figures out 4-4-2 isn't the future (circa 2020). You sure it wasn't Mark Hughes?

Thanks for that, very informative and it'll be very useful in future. Appreciated.

Someone please write a definitive list of the life do's and dont's then mail it to me, circa 1990! Ta.

This stuff sounds good. Is it the 2001G?

Love these updates, keep 'em coming.

That leon spliter is pretty cool, but I think I'll be going V1 with Tarmac.

Ha, I knew I'd fail on one of them, I thought I'd checked but just goes to illustrate the level of knowledge I'm working with. Don't judge me too harshly please! Tarmac, I'll be in touch.

Over the last month or so I've acquired a Circuit Sports carbon rear diffuser and also some fibre glass black side steps. I've not had these fitted yet as I'd like to secure a front lip first and get them all done at once (as well as a front bumper respray) so the car has a reasonably balanced look all round. I've narrowed down my lip hunt to the three pictured below, but, as modding of any sort is totally new to me, I'm hoping some of the experienced and knowledgable people here can help me out with some learner questions please. 1) The difference in quality between the carbon and fibre glass is huge, I've seen some lips in urethane, where does this fit on the quality/robustness spectrum? Is there anything that can be applied to the fibre to make it feel a bit stronger? 2) As you can see form the lips I'm looking at I would prefer to have something with ends which taper in and covers the bit of bumper under the grill. I'm not a massive fan of the huge steps which stick out on the corners on some lips. Are there any others which I should consider that aren't below? 3) Can you fit the stillen splitter without the metal support struts on the bumper? I'm not a big fan and I'm doing these mods for the look rather than the aero gains. 4) I've been googling but not had much luck find uk based suppliers, does anyone have any suggestions? I'm a bit too inexperienced to just throw a load of cash at ebay. I'm sure you're all too familiar with these products to need the photos (I've probably grabbed the wrong ones from google images anyway) but I thought I'd include them for a visual reference to what I mean. Mines - I really love this, but my wallet says no. V1 Stillen As ever, thanks for any tips, they're always appreciated.

Jesus that's a right going over. I don't know what I'd do if I caught someone doing that. I'm absolutely screwing about what appears to be a small animal related scratch on my bonnet. When it's done, sit and wait all night long with a chainsaw, see if they dare return.

Thanks. I'll give it a few mixes til I get something good.

Consensus seems to favour the inch of snow foam plus 2-3 shots of shampoo approach (presumably topping the rest of the lance up with warm water). Is there any benefit in adding a shot or two of some kind of citrus degreaser? Or should I say, is there any clear and present danger in doing so? I picked up some Dodo Juice Lime Prime Lite in the Opie Oils Mayhem, wondering if it would assist.

Don't know any "real" shops, but I got some Bosch aeros from here that I'm very pleased with. Look cool and shift water exceptionally well. http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/

Stunning engine bay. You've given me something to aim for!

Nice colour, looks cool. Welcome.

Looks cool mate, kern to know how you get on with it.

I only ordered a litre to give its whirl. Think I'm going o have some fun working through snow products!

You should have a look here mate. http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=162466 But also here too. http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=267357

It's got to be Goonies surely? Though it could be Gremlins or Back to The Future.

You're having the best birthday! Jaws is a classic, Robert Shaw is awesome. The USS Indianapolis speech is my favourite in Cinema. Here's to swimmin' with bow legged women.

Nothing better than Raiders.
