    Wheel Rash Gone!

    For Mild rash this solution may be ok. Mine needed a couple of mm machining off at the rim tapered to zero mm at the centre, cut to keep the circular diamond circular lines. The photos really don't do this justice as they are like new again. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

    Wheel Rash Gone!

    Lost control at low speed on ice and ended up using two of my wheels as a brake on a roundabout. No one else involved thank god, but massive scrapes down two of my wheels. Local engineering place in Wakefield did an amazing job recutting and sealing for £60 per corner. Happy again now...

    Economy difference between mk2 CR170 and mk3 184

    Alor Blue Kitted SC

    Yes it's a fantastic kit but to suggest its better on one model over another. In the immortal words of Up Pompeii.

    Front Bumber Wrapping

    Thanks Mark, Rob. I wanted it to look striking, but without lots of mods. The gloss looks fine against the Matt grill IMHO.

    Emocion Red or Phantom Black for 184 FR

    Either looks great and one less white one on the road. Enjoy.

    At 5k miles, long term average is 52mpg and I often give it some stick. Best economy to date on a long trip is 68mpg. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

    Titanium pack - worth getting?

    My thoughts process was that to spec up the standard 17" alloys to 18" alloys was around £350, so was only then an additional £350 for sharper machine finished wheels and coloured mirror caps. They do look mint so in my mind worth every penny. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

    Adding body kit to mk3

    Body kit is not factory fitted for UK sales as far as I am aware. It's a dealer option and they fit it. No issues with the sensors when they fitted mine. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk
