DannyW · 30 Mar 2008 at 15:19

bought some of this today from halfords cost £7.50 worth every last penny, my wheels were in a right old state. i should have done before and after shots but i left my d40 at my mates house so had to use crappy phone

i also clay bared and polished and t-cut'd my £1400 banger really impressed with the paintwork

It works wonders on my bike, though I do get through a lot of it. Damn white wheels!

They seal your fate in case of having to brake or go round corners

haha, I had one of those. Kinda worrying what some tyre companies name their tyres!!

Car looks good Danny. I got some Halfords vouchers from work, just waiting for the weather to get warmer and am going to use them to get myself a claybar.

Looks good.. Nice Orange Peel effect on the paintwork there though :/

I had no idea the Argies were into making tyres. Blimey unfortunate name though. I bet it isn't really pronounced "Fay-Tah" more like "Fatal".

yup excellent tyres them

the guy told me he had 4 new continentals fitted but he didnt' just 2 on the front and 2 crappies on the back

also how can i get rid of orange peel it dont look too bad i think

new car scent ftw

Tom|Nbk · 30 Mar 2008 at 19:18

Looks good Danny. I think you love that Mondeo more than I love my Focus

New car scent is OK but I got fed up of it. It's too over powering tbh. I can still slightly smell it after I removed it nearly a month ago.

since when did MK3 mondeos become bangers?

Howard · 30 Mar 2008 at 19:35

I can't believe you can get a car like that for £1,500 :|

you havn't seen it in the flesh

nah it's not too bad couple of tiny scrapes but the colour hides them really well, least theres no rust.

i do wan't to get some decent tyres and it also could do with a new clutch but everytime i spend money on cars they get wrote off, someone nearly rear ended it this evening in bradford
