Oh stinky poop poops Baz!
I always like to start the season with at least some effort shown.
On the bright side I have also had some headlight sealant not arrive. From messages now appearing it seems both items sent but Hermes decided to wait until Bank hols to try and deliver them to an office address.
Allegedly should be here today................ oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze, pretty please?

Glad you are pleased

very nice they will look different
Probably cos knucklethumbs will manage to fit them upside down and back to front!
Fortunately Vin has done a nice little "How to" which has been pinned. and it would appear I am refitting the very same inserts!

Storm blue headlight inserts from Vin NL.
Thank you Vin. They are superb
and no, the photos do not do them justice.

just wanna mention that liquid item from US sent to uk might have some problem, i have try to buy this product for headlight restoration but it got sent back as it was not pass custom s.
Agreed. Only put the ebay link up to show the product. Got mine in uk via amazon. Main distributor in uk is carpro uk. They have been shut for a few days due to relocation but should be back up and running any minute . They charge £24.
just checked on the link in OP. It no longer flags on their site that they are moving so guess move is now complete

i used the meguires xnt metal polish (this has no non diminshing particles in it ) on mine the first year i used it but im going to go over them again before japday and use my new silo sealer
Yep that should work nicely Baz. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GTechniq-C1-5-v2-Silo-Seal-Paint-Sealant-Spray-100ml-/141865480117?hash=item2107d76fb5:g:WgoAAOSw5dNWhVCp
Their products have a good reputation.
Just went for the Carpro dlux as so many pro detailers all came back with the same product recommendation.

Just a heads up guys. I am just about to do a headlight restoration and have been trawling far and wide for the best sealant, rather than just wax.
Titter ye not but I am a member of Detailing addicts and they came up with this.............
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CarPro-CQuartz-Dlux-Kit-Plastic-Rubber-AND-Wheel-Coating-30-ml-EXPEDITED-/301623179008?hash=item463a247700:g:9~QAAOSwpDdVSpRtDon't pay this much for it though. Normally available from Carpro plus uk direct or something similar, but they are closed due to relocation.

I managed to get some from amazon for £21 + £5 postage. Sorry can't put that link up as I got the last bottle.
10x as good as Fusso I am told by several and similarly better than wheel wax for longevity. I will report findings in due course.
Pip pip.

I have found emailing Tim @ Opie oils very fruitful. Tell him the car, its age and history, how you drive it, what your budget is and he will fix you up with the right stuff. Not race stuff for going shopping like some would
When you have found what suits you keep a regular eye on their offers and stock up in advance. Currently just snaffled some Fuchs Titan GT1 Flex for under £30.
No idea on your plugs tho.........

A few laps on track will sort out that problem. lol.
Would love to but can't afford repair bills!
Current price for new ones to beat 82.http://www.oponeo.co.uk/tyre-details/goodyear-eagle-f1-asymmetric-3-215-45-r17-87-y-fp/?origin=prodlisting&gclid=Cj0KEQjwzq63BRCrtIuGjImRoIIBEiQAGLHdYf0avt7QsyqqhILtUeuQoYatI0NeoTN73ZGt5KmBiGYaApHl8P8HAQ
I expect a few deals on the Ass 2s tho......................

All I need now is a set of lights to use it on!
Nice of them to send it in a Billy size transport box too. He is off to join the Wales Gen 5 trip at lunchtime.
He is soooo excited!!!

Can't go wrong with Rota style Baz
Still think you could do your own for 100 tho . If you have the case keep the old ones tho and sell the rota separate when you bin the car. I would have done..........but no space so they are now lurid metallic pink and in Cornwall...............
