Got a new exhaust. Milltek non-resonated cat-back with quad tips.
looks good mate, but is it just me or does it need raising a cm on the passenger side

Yeah, it might do. I'll let it settle in a bit before I bring it back for adjustment.
Simple thing today on day 7 of ownership. Went out in the rain to discover that auto wipers do work!
That's insane! Think you have even beat the book figures. Were you getting the wife to push you
I managed 84mpg in my 184 on a hour run up the M1
Little maintenance wash, including an engine bay detail.
What cleaning products do you use to get that gleaming look?

Very nice
Could I request a video to hear what it sounds like as I was seriously considering getting one of these.
Thanks
Hi new to this i need help hate my alloys on my mk3 fr getting stressed looking at them
Hi Adam, are you looking to change them? Have a browse through a few threads on here as there are several about different alloy / sizes / styles etc, might give you some ideas as to what you could do!
My 184 got delivered today! It was supposed to be an MY15, but the the USB/3.5mm aux are in the bottom of the centre console (rather than an MDI in the glovebox) which makes me think I got lucky and landed an MY16 instead. Any other ways to tell?
Put about 150 miles on the car today, it's great to drive! On the negative side, it's a bit notchy when changing into second (maybe that will improve over time), and the placement of the ignition means my keyring rests on my knee. I'm very happy with the car!

Ultimate Finish snow foam
Bilt Hamber Auto Wheels
Bilt Hamber Auto Wash
Chemical Guys Pro Detailer (this really suits the Apollo Blue paint/finish)
Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel
Armorall Shield for wheels
The car had previously been clayed and waxed with Bilt Hamber Finis Wax though the bonnet has been machine polished with SONAX perfect finish and then topped off with Collinite 845 (which I'll be applying all over before the Winter as it's super durable and beads better than anything else I've used)
I need to get on this detailing lol. I cleaned my car last night and it looked like crap at the end. I just don't know what products do what and why
Assuming that youre washing it properly (mitts and 2 buckets) then youre probably just missing a decent finishing product. Wax and polishes take a lot of time and care, so i'm more in favour of a good spray to end with. Try either of the two...

good thing about aqua wax is your dont have to wait for the car to be completely dry before applying.
