Polished the exhausts after it's wash.

What you use to clean and polish them ?? Autosol?

MichaelAwkward · 30 May 2018 at 19:16

Yup. Great stuff. Apply with some wire wool first, then buff out with a clean microfibre cloth.

What grade wire wool?

Grade 0000/Ultra Fine. You may need to go up to Fine though if your exhausts are covered in carbon.

Not sure if it's a trick of the light but that tyre looks knackered to me like it's been run with about 5PSI in it as the sidewalls look scuffed to hell.

Diagro · 30 May 2018 at 21:46

Recoiled in horror as an almost-pebble hurtled towards my windscreen from a passing 4x4 with a trailer. Thankfully didn't crack or really even scratch it.

Looks like it's been run when on a puncture. Insides are most likely covered with what was the inside of the sidewall.

Yeah my thoughts too, same fading as mine took when I drove it with a puncture, though weirdly enough it looks like it's only on the top of the tyre on that picture rather than all the way round.

Looks nice! Love the blue on the new RS and the wheels look great. Far better than the black that tends to be on most of them

sigma · 2 Jun 2018 at 21:01

Being a year old did they need much of a refurb?

Diagro · 2 Jun 2018 at 22:20

Your engine not blown up then?

grudas · 2 Jun 2018 at 22:28

Nothing much.. put fatter tyres on the eunos.

No and even if it does I’ll happily take a brand new one for free . Life’s too short to worry about that sort of thing.

Going to be going stage 2 with Litchfield Motors at some point.

Won't "stage 2" remove any remaining warranty?

Even if you have to replace tyres and refurb then that's still pretty bargainous!
