I am having the same challenges with white paint and mucho black tar. Absolute PITA.

Simoniz bug and tar remover and white spirit on some old flannelette sheet squares. break down the tar and buff off. Then clay. PITA! white is the best colour but a bitch to maintain!!

Tried to change the front indicators but managed to snap the plastic ends...gave up and drove into work! Give it another try later on the week...I wanted to change the amber/yolk bulbs for Phillips chrome bulbs :(

Went to see how my wheels where getting on at the bodyshop, he has done them a bit darker than I originally wanted but I think they look better anyway. He just needs to polish them up tomorrow and I'm collecting them friday morning! Then I can get the goodyear asymmetric 2's on and I am good to go :p
Managed to sell my current ones last week after only being on ebay for a day, so I am dropping them off on friday too.

Had a play coming upto Aberdeen with a white rococo r (61) plate and green focus rs (59). The words a**e New ripped hole. Spring to mind. Both cars followed me to the hotel to ask what I had done to the car lol. Both of them were standard. Funny thing was the rococo seemed to have a very slight edge on the focus.
Good laugh :D

From portlethan to Dyce about 12 miles of motorway I saw the rocco r, focus rs, Evo 8, Audi tts, S5, BMW 335i. Don't get me wrong you don't blast with them all by any stretch but just much more likely to have a bit of sport to that magic 70 ;)

Ha, good lad! It's just nice to be able to have a bit of fun with some nice motors. I always find that the drivers of these more 'prestige' cars are much better sports and less likely to be agro nobheads!:whistle:

Gave mine a good wash today, even though it was drizzly & rainy most of the day, so just hosed down, washed all the crap off it & hosed it down again. no point in drying it off
