What have you done to your 8V today?

LoL Swissvax will last a good year at least mate there's bound to be exterior rubber on your next motor ??

Sounds like the Nanolex is for the rigid plastic trims like lower mirror bezel etc.

I ask for the rubber and tyre rejuvenater and they sent me the plastic trim version, l tried it on the external rubber trims it looked great,until some light rain hit it....and its coming away not happy at all,the guy l spoke to over the phone recommended it,will be on the phone tomorrow asap, may aswell pay the difference for the Swisswax.... Nanolex was £14....,,gash stuff

Can't wait to try them out at the track! Now I should hopefully see better times as I can brake so much later.

15mm front spacers. 20mm rear spacers, I would say that's the max you could go. DTUK tuning box fitted until a map is available for the FL car. Chucked on a pre FL tuning box and works fine.

Pulled out the DA and polished the bootlid, IPA'd it stuck the carbon fibre S3 style spoiler on then covered it all with Opti Gloss. While I was at it polished the bonnet too. When Spring arrives I'll do a full detail and recoat everything.

Put a GFB DV+ on first impressions it's better that the stock dv quieter as well.
Boots seems to be a bit stronger and last a little longer cheap mod for tuned cars

Quieter?!?!
I stuck mine on a good 7 months ago and you can hear more swooshing and phfissing in the tunnels, no where near scooby and evo levels.
There is a good improvement on throttle response, which is why I bought it.

Ye it's quieter on mine ha ha
I just put it down to the spring being stronger
Than ome one, since I upgraded the intake , tip muffler delete,fmic and the turbo out pipe along with stage 2 mapit was louder.
Believe it or not there is some fake ones about so be careful where you buy.
Awesome got stock them.

Was worried that it may not fit with aftermarket TIP so good to see that we have similar mods.

Just ordered one from Awesome - thanks for that !!

I'm attempting to make the move from cleaning to detailing and bought myself a DAS6 Pro Plus DA polisher and have been trying it out today. First couple of goes weren't that successful, but after getting the right about of compound on the pad and taking my time I have seen some nice results. I can see there is a real knack to this detailing lark and I am definitely only a beginner, but some surface scratches I had on my bonnet are barely visible now. Here's to many hours spent polishing!
