Driven - to work and back...

Ordered - (RCZ-Performance, you know who you are :D)

A boot tray
A footrest
An RCZ key ring
A Philips Dipped Beam 2500K bulb kit

Subliminally - influenced people to buy the Zunsport exhaust Group Buy. Interesting that all the other cars are HDi's though! :eusa-think:

Looked at my RCZ on the drive as I left for work. Still on my way back from work at the minute, but I'll probably look at it on my way back in the house too.

decided to fit the Osram Night Breaker Golds tonight.... Took me about 20 minutes to figure out how to unclip / reclip.. thankfully I started on the drivers side which has a lot of room to work with.

The passenger side was so tight but actually took less time than the drivers as I had figured out how to re-clip.

The difference between the standard dipped beam and these are amazing.. I had Xenons in the last RCZ and was missing them. well worth the minimal outlay!

Turned back and looked at my car about 10 times this morning. She looked so gorgeous and shiny in the early morning sun :)

Can really see the difference

They're corking aren't they?! Far and away the best bulbs going in my opinion and I've tried the best of them. The catch is a complete 'mate though!! One of my least favourite of jobs and, even after changing them many many time over, I still haven't honed not finessed my technique!! :(

Abz - this is another reason for your swirls. Touching your paintwork when it has a layer of dust/dirt on it, even with quick detailer, will induce swirls. You are much better to leave it dirty than do this. Only touch the paintwork immediately after its been washed. Apart from when you get bird mess on it, then this should be removed as soon as possible using something like quick Detailer and dabbing with a soft cloth. Not rubbing.

Treat the car like you would a lovely lady... Quick solutions will always come with strings... persistance is the key... etc etc and all the other car / girl analogies out there.

And also follow Lord Flashhearts guide too.. these cars like to be driven as well as detailed ;)

Nothing at all,

Owned it nearly 3 weeks driven it twice, now awaiting a technician from France to come over to the UK to oversee the repair to my RCZ. :(
Fun factor zero at the moment.

At least I have a brand new RCZ to play with even if it is a little bhp version...
