Ha and I didn't have any product to blacken the wheel so a trip to Halfords is needed after work tomorrow!

Spent 90 mins tonight cleaning and waxing a front wheel and cleaning the wheel arch... only three more wheels to do :-/ !!! It's not at anywhere near 100% clean but it way better than what I started with!

Oops didn't mean to upload two posts! Sorry!

After owning mine for the best part of 2.5 months it was nice enough to give her a good clean and mini detail...

Finally (after owning mine since the 29th of Dec) gave the old girl a good clean inside and out... rapid detailer is a must have in anyone's clean car kit bag! Although now I've noticed more little scratches :-(

I agree with Christopher. Drove my brothers 182 ff cup and that was a wicked car but the interior was shocking and it was a pretty cheaply put together car. The 200 seems much better built but still go kart fun!

Thanks Tom

Hi Tom! I'm also new to 200 ownership having got mine in December. I can't help with the questions apart from be thankful you also mentioned the whining sound on start up. I thought it would be solved when i had the cambelt changed! Apart from that's a great little car!

Ah ok cool. Haha I am awful at DIY so I'd probably need a garage to do it for me but good to know it's not hundreds of pounds!

@DS197. Thanks! I do have the electric adjustable ones so maybe that's an upgrade to think about. How much does it cost to replace with electrically folding mirrors?

Haha oi some of us have the manual fold mirrors!!

I didn't know they also had a worse standard of steering wheel! TBH if you like the car (the colour is very nice) I reckon you could knock a decent amount off. I paid 7200 for my 09 black ff 200 with the cup pack and recaros with 31k on the clock at the end of December. I reckon you could find...

It should be a cup model as its only got the analogue air con and not the digital air con. The other 'tells' are if you test drive it and the suspension is incredibly firm/the springs should have (if memory serves) yellow and green dots on. There is a thread on that somewhere here

Annoyingly I'm in Scotland now for work that weekend so I will have to make the next one. Enjoy!
