    Hi, Been on here for a while when I first started out but never posted before. I ended up getting into rotations of lease cars so lost my enthusiasm for doing a decent job on a car for it to be handed back a year or so later. However, I'm now in a silver 308 that I bought outright. Its a 15...

    Spotted a good deal on a New leon Cupra 300 and my pal was looking at cars. He's actually got it on order and I think i'm more excited than he is!

    Hi, my white bmw gt is going in for a respray soon due to previous owner. Wanted to know what could I use to protect the new paint work ...

    Is it worth trying to "pick out" a less than satisfactory stone chip repair job? I have paint chip repairs that are nice, smooth and glossy - but the colour match is not particularly good. It's Stornoway Grey for a 09 Land Rover, but the paint kit has a blue hue to it - it's not a grey as I...
