You can't have NEVER seen Wheeler Dealers!!! You're missing out mate

I was once asked if it was a Zonda. The Z badges are a dead giveaway

Just in case you fancy the job on your 86. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30144 http://www.gt86ownersclub.co.uk/forum/tomtop-white-reversing-camera-install_topic2800.html

Very nice! Looks better up front than the mk1 and you get the cooler brake lights too. I'm having to fit my own shark fin There aren't many more fun company cars out there, unless you work in motorsport!

I found a sample tube of Solution Finish Black Trim Restorer in an old waxybox and decided to have a go at the expanse of "black" plastic that sits under the windscreen on the BRZ. There's also a plastic diffuser which could do with freshening up, but I'm only trying this area initially. As you can see below, it's gone that nasty grey (it's a 2013, so it's not like it's seen that much sun). Sadly I dropped and spilt the sample tube after only a few inches of work, but it was going fine up to then, so I ordered some from cleanyourcar to do things properly. £14.95 for a small bottle, not exactly cheap. Also a cacophony of awful fonts and styles on the bottle and packaging. It's like a 90s website. First up I cleaned the trim and wiped down with Gyeon Prep. The instructions make this stuff sound pretty potent, it warns it will stain paint if you're not careful and the usual stuff about not drinking it or pouring it in your eyeballs etc. I did catch the paint once or twice, it wiped off fine with a MF towel after sitting for a few seconds. This doesn't appear to be a "restorer" in the sense that it magically removes the ageing of the plastic to make it look like it did as new. It's a bit less subtle than that, it effectively dyes the trim black again. You can see its as black as a gorilla's ghoulies. Application is simple. Get an applicator you don't mind only being for use with this product, tip a little on, work the trim area. It says that it should then be left for 1-2 minutes before wiping off. For some reason I was expecting this to flash quite quickly. The sun had been on my trim before I moved into the shade to do the job, but it just seems to linger indefinitely (certainly 5 minutes anyway). It showed no signs of drying fast and being a bugger to remove. Perhaps, being yank, it is engineered for hotter air temps, it was only about 12 degrees today. You can see it looks quite thick and greasy when it goes on. Don't worry it's better after wipe down. I don't know if I should have, but I also applied to the wiper arms. Mainly because they were always going to get some on, so it may as well be a full coat instead of patches. Removal was easy, grab an MF towel (though it suggests using another applicator) and wipe up the excess. There will be plenty if you go at it excessively like I did. The finish is not sticky or shiny, just a nice dark black satin. Given the price, I should point out that this stuff goes a long way, I overshot on my first pad load and it was enough to do the whole trim panel and wiper arms once. If you've got a car with huge sections of plastic trim over the arches and bumpers, I'd say you'll get 2 and a bit cars of use from one pot. For me (assuming this doesn't section doesn't look horrible tomorrow) I'll add it to the rear diffuser also and I expect to get 4-5 cars worth out of a pot. Much better looking now it's been done. it didn't mention layers when I checked the instructions, so I did two, mainly to ensure coverage but also because it goes a very long way and I wanted to use what was still on the pad. A doodle to use, so long as your careful and have a MF towel on standby, the towel won't be good for anything other than wheel or engine bay jobs after it's had this stuff on, it stains. Really pleased with the immediate results and ease of use, as with anything like this though the proof is in the longevity. I'll keep an eye on it and post up. I wonder if it beads...

So why were several other people arrested ? It's NEVER just one person, others albeit might not be helping they KNOW and aren't reporting. If one of your friends or relatives does something like that, you'll be arrested, regardless of whether you were complicit. Being arrested doesn't mean you're guilty.

Shudder

PM zmanalex, if anyone will know, he will.

For 10 amps I'd use a spare fuse slot, with fuse. I'm sure there was one there when I was looking for dashcam power.

It's a weird one, if Edd's genuinely got the hump because they're cutting down the time consuming and expensive in workshop bits, I can't think why a perfectionist would want to come in and play second fiddle to MB's awful Del Boy impression

Wow, that's a show to miss!

Shock horror, the tall man is off after new meddling kids try to turn WD into all the other crap car 'restoration' shows on TV. Shows which feature plenty of posturing, talking and **** all actual technical work. https://www.carthrot...o-dumb-it-down/ I've tried watching SOS, that other show with the guy who sells gin, and all the yank stuff, but frankly it's dog ****. Artificially injected peril for people who can't just watch something genuinely interesting for 60 minutes without fifteen utterances of "if Chad doesn't finish this job by the end of today, he'll have to do it tomorrow", strung together with horrible jump cuts and the occasional Dutch angle. Edd is the watchable part of the WD show IMO, I'm sure many other fans tolerate tubby funster MB's "personality" because they know there's going to be some genuine content on the way. RIP WD, Edd inspired a bunch of us mechanical morons to have a go at dome of the simpler jobs. Support the big fella by subscribing to his YouTube. PS - sorry if pea roast, I did search!

Where did you pull this list from? Reading that suggests reversing and indicators lights are not permitted on the rear?!?

I hope you've notified the coast guard.

Get a chicken vindaloo delivered, sorted.

Don't go too fast, I can't see how you get someone out the back when it's on its roof Glad you like it mate, hope there's a modding scene springing up so you can make it your own.

Sold - thread locked

Sorted.

Well. You do know right now he's almost entirely full of **** Doc?

Crap. My guy always re torques after the road test too. I've even seen him do it when the wheels haven't been touched. Sloppy job.

Why haven't you bought this already Chris?

Clio V6 Definitive absolutely mental production car that snuck past accountants when they were ogling something "practical".

It's the definitive people's car.
