Look forward to the almost mandatory leaky headlamp washer jet & the £90+ to supply & fit a replacement.

5-10 bhp but probably the increased torque is what you'll notice.

How so? Have you been on a diet Pepsi?

According to what's on the lacquer can: "...Use 1200 grit wet & dry abrasive paper and plenty of water to achieve a matt surface. Removal of the glossy paint surface is necessary to produce the correct lacquered finish..." I think if you don't sand the finish back you may get that sort of...

Ok so does the 2.0l 16v decal go on before or after the lacquer layer - I'm really not sure? Ady reckons before the lacquer & I tend to agree. Anyone else got any ideas???

Briefly: * key plastic surface with 600 wet & dry * remove dust with tack cloth (or wash) * 3 or 4 coats of plastic primer (15 minutes + between each coat) * leave 24 hours then key again with 600 * remove dust as before * 4 or 5 coats of colour (15 minutes + between each coat) * leave 24 hours...
