    Silver bullet colour

    I'm not sure if there's a paint code as such for the silver, certainly not for the 172 style chrome finish ones. If you wanted to replicated that finish, Mipa Microm (lightly) over a fine grain silver will be close. The 182 Style ones are 205-110 Anthracite I believe, a suitable silver...

    Blown rear GAZ dampers

    It will most likely be the rear dampers, maybe only one side, who knows, send them to GAZ they will reseal them, I set I had last 3 months of road use at the rear, utterly naff quality, but in fairness to them they did reseal and send them back to me.

    Type of paint on a 1962 Rover P5

    Its most likely cellulose.....personally id be very careful with any decontamination stuff like iron x etc, they are all made for the chemical resistance of modern paints that celly just doesn't have. Paint depth wise you will probably be fine, as normally with cellulose there will be many...

    Door Bullet combos, R27

    Yep £60+VAT+p&p(£5) , sadly they aren't cheap as the masking is a pain, but the finish will be OEM.

    Refurb problems

    Oh my god, they made a hash of that didn't they, jesus. The fact they let them go out like that is disgusting...........you'll need a full strip to bare alloy to put that right lol, wet spraying wheels takes practice!

    Removing splashed paint

    Have you tried a body shop style panel wipe? or a silicone remover, will have more poke. Failing that, use a Festool nip remover to carefully slice off, I've done this before on a van, but it did take an age, but use with care...

    172 cup disappointed bhp

    Personally , id leave the f*cker alone, the last thing you want to be doing is pissing money at a N/A engine chasing figures. Probably between 172bhp and 200bhp in real world terms that can be made up by a good driver. Dyno runs really are BS and cannot be compared like for like between...

    Wing mirror glass the same on both sides?

    I run drivers side on passenger side, its fine, I use it as I've got buckets with the wing things, and it givens more view due the bend in the glass.

    New paint advice

    You can polish it all you want, but i wouldn't wax it or use anything with a sealer in it for a while. The last thing you want to do, is let dirt & crap sit on it, it will mark it very easily. There are no set rules for paint drying times really, its very dependent on application thickness's...

    [197] Signs of a failing gearbox?

    They all go sometime! ~70k+, useless boxes. Mine crunched, in 3rd & 4th, but it never actually "went" in my ownership.

    I am an idiot

    When you didnt have the wheels tight and drove on it , are you sure you didnt elongate the holes in the alloy......ive seen this many times, alloy is so soft compared to steel. If your spigot rings were not spot on then it would be possible to have the wheel off center very slightly, thus out of...

    Clio 197 Engine Heat

    in my experience with my old 197, it never sat in the middle of the gauge, its about just below the 1/3 when driving very slowly and then just over a 1/3 when giving her the beans. That's normal im led to believe from speaking and looking at other members cars. I've also heard of a few members...

    The k-tec pro performance exhaust is brilliant for these cars, had one on mine. Everyone who heard it , said how nice it was, fitment is excellent was well. Its very reserved, and how the car should should IMO, its a deep , quality sounding, and not raspy...

    wheel cleaning/sand blaster

    What is the coating? Here if the paint is failing, we have them acid dipped, then very very lightly blasted with fine glass bead, they are then nearly ready for paint after a light sand, we had some done the other day, and they were back to bare alloy, totally unpitted smooth from the factory...

    Alternative to Renparts?

    2bh my 197 flexi's were blown & it was also broke at the joint to the block on branch 2. They are made of cheese, if your exhaust / engine mounts are worn then that doesnt help, so id change those too while your at it.
