  1. I think Dom's sold the Silver Rados and turned to the pink side: (who else would drive this??) So that Porsche was obviously a distraction tactic!
  2. Does that actually work? Had the same fail with a Saab, not so much output but pattern, cured with new refelctors... which are available from ARZ Headlight Parts
  3. Pirated off Bill's thread! Strange how a thin band of colour/polish breaks the wheel up nicer then the stock all-black!
  4. :clap: What is this 9-10 months on since you picked them up? :lol: Like them but maybe a white band to the edge of the lip to break it up slightly? Shame about "that" banding comapny giving you the runabout! :(
  5. Doubt you'll see it in the Tate though Jim... Unlike a cracked floor that is! :cuckoo:
  6. An epic this is turning into! So what was the nice list Mr MOT-ivator gave you then?
  7. But it's almost finished too! Mr-T's Ride? Gold/Chrome Rado On edition! :shocked!: I love it and dis-like it in equal proportions... Just a boggling amount of detail work though!
  8. Pics too big My choice here would go to the Black Type3 on Porsche 911 Gas burners in the background I'm afraid... :luvlove:
  9. http://www.gtini.com/flash/nigel/nigel.html :luvlove: Still looks great!
  10. Did Dave16v end up doing the "fabled" Rear Hanger?
  11. And F*rds, don't forget the F*rds Bally! :lol: You'd think I'd learn after 4 aircooleds (one show car) but no.... :bonk: I'll be camping with the Nomads (along with Yeti, and Jonesmark12) so stumble over for a few tins :drinking: and a chat if we don't see you! You shouldn't miss us 30+ cars and 4m flags!
  12. Bill you up for teh weekend at ED this year? Have some "questions over a beer" I'd like to pose... :lol: If only I could get mine to 1/10th the car yours and Bally's are I'd be happy! :clap:
  13. Just seen a "Liquidation stock" ad for Magnex Rado exhausts. Have Magnex gone under? :confused4:

    Good cleaning guide.... (lifted from Detailing section of Edition) Go with Easy available Halfords stuff to start with: Megs Gold class shampoo (PH Neutral, very foamy) Megs Clay Kit - will remove all the bonded particles on paint and restore it's smoothness Wash again to remove clay residue Megs Stage 1 paint cleaner - Do this a couple times A/Glymm Srp (as Jim says) - repeat untill you get the shine back. A/Glymm EGP (Gold label) seals in the shine from above and gives some UV protection Megs Gold class wax - Provides protection add UV protection too. Just remember, the final result's all about the prep work. This should take a day/couple days all in. all the above sounds a lot but once you are there, maintaining it's easy as washing once a week and polishing/waxing once a month. Claying should be done between 3-6 months and remember claying the car will remove all the wax/protection, so you go from ground zero again. Paint Cleansing every 2-4 months. Polish (SRP/EGP) 2wks-1mth wash/wax every week. Remember to also do the trims, nice black trims will set off shiney paint no end! (I use A-Glymm Trim Cleaner (looks like snot) but remeber to keep a seperate pad for this as it's mostly silicon!) Also tyres I use Armour-all tyre foam, just spray and leave... VAG Red does suffer fading but not as bad as some others (like Vauxhall!), but if you keep on top of it the results can be really good. I used to try to wax/polish my Mars Red1 Scirocco at least every two weeks till it got to the point where I was happy, then once a month... Or if you're feeling lazy, get Herisites over to machine polish the car! :lol: I think Halfords has a 3-for-2 on cleaning at the moment!
  19. WRONG! Tiff thinks he's a good driver, he's a dick! and before you all go off I've met him in real life! top wrist excerciser! Refused to sign autographs for kids at the only British GT event he did, just sat on his throne (yes throne, a seat 3 ft higher than the rest of the team) looking smug. Then binned the car in the race, came in and screamed that the mechanics were all To$$ers despite his team-mate keeping it on the island for the First half! Surprisingly the team owner never invited him back! Reason for 5th Gear? Tiff got bunted off TG after Clarkson walked and the ratings dropped... Good driver? NO! Jason Potato can drive rings round him but isn't allowed to! One of the main reasons I won't watch 5th gear, problem is I like "Potato" as a person (again met him on a professional level) and VBH as a "co*k in a frock" as some-one described her...
  20. Tom, try a posting on UKpassats.... think there was two versions of motors on the moonroof... can't be much more help as mine came w/out motor and my early one fitted... But from memory think later ones came with one-touch operation like the VR's ... :confused4:
  21. Ahha! As it's a 92 I can just bin the cat! (Which was the intention once it died TBH!) and get £60 scrap for that! ;) Stu OPO Euro Tuning's Workshops sounds fine!
  22. "SNOT" Guru! Cheers Stuey! xxx :notworthy: Fancy a head swap for Gooney tokens when you feel up to it?
