It is quite stange on a nice motor.

I wouldn't let this put me off if the rest of the motor was decent.

I've bought cars in the past with full history that have turned out complete dogs. I've then bought cars without any history and have been brilliant.

To the average joe, some would think the same about someone doing their own servicing and maintenance or getting a normal garage to maintain a car - penny pincher!

Some people just skimp on tyres. I don't see why you would through.

For me I find cheap tyres so bad that I believe the testing should be tougher before they are sold.

Have you even been to Wembley bro? I went last week to see Ed Sheeran. I can confirm your 6x9's sound nothing like Wembley.

Bought some stickers... then realised I didn't want any on there at all so ripped all the current ones off. Bar PistonHeads.

Does a polish-special car was count?

Loads of cheap silicone spray wax and some dirty wash mitts, she's looking gleaming!

Until the silicone stuff wears off and you're left with an absolute mess

Does look nice and shiny though.

Red calipers too. Must be fast.

...Green valve caps too.. easy 10 bhp gain..

I'd sell them to Nic Barns for his builder van green theme but I don't think he could handle the power.
