  1. I guess it depends on the condition of your paint. My red 16v has always stood up to the bird sh@te but I recently got a few small droppings on the VR and despite a gentle wash, followed up by a few rounds with the super resin polish, it seems to have permanently stained the paint if you look at it from certain angles. I only left it for a day or two as well :(

     

    Have try using a compound on it where its stained? I forget the make I've got, but its in a white tub. There was a scratch on the front right part of my bumper on my Rado and it was about the size of a credit card and the compound as literally fixed it.

     

    Using a compound will also be good for removing the bird poo too and tree resin stuff as well.


  2. 28mpg average on my g60...is that bad???

     

    Thats pretty normal although they can be very economic in standard form 30-40mpg is achievable!

     

    You might find a good service / setup raises the average above 30mpg but remember it's traffic that kills the G60s MPG as the charger is always being driven by the engine.

     

    Ok, thanks for this. It's all a learning curve for me. :clap:


  3. G60 fan hell yeah :-)

     

    Good idea about the belt. I'm going to get the cat removed too. Pointless.

     

    I'll be sorting the paint out in the next few weeks.

     

    Just looked quickly at those sites, useful, thank you.


  4. Yeah I do enjoy it too...painting the calipers today took me 2 hrs but I loved it. They're perfect though. My sunroof doesn't work but I'm not fussed that yet. My biggest annoyance is the supercharger...its never been serviced. So I need to get that done. Did consider learning and doing it ourselves but I'm going to use g werks and I don't mean this rude but it all costs so much...then i want (need) a chip and pully and I've already spent £400+ on it and have only had it 2 weeks!


  5. I know this is random, but everyones car on here looks mint. I love mine, but it bothers me that the underneath is so rusty (chassis) and the other odd bits of paint rust marks. Then interiorly there is the odd thing that reminds me of how old the car is...like the window buttons, one is coming wear from the door cover.

     

    My husband only paid £600 for the car, but is mine the only one on here with these niggly imperfections?

     

    It's starting to look really nice but I see all your photos on here, and you all make me sick! In a good jealous way.

     

    (I am appreciative of my car FYI)

     

    Charlotte.


  6. Yeah it auto locks when I put down my driver side lock, but as someone mentioned above, its an actual alarm I guess that I need/want, so that when I reach a certain mph, the car locks itself.
