    Removing Caliper Paint

    Hey guys, I've been reading up online about removing paint from calipers. I painted them up yellow a couple of months back and I think I'm either going to go back to stock (plain metal) or go red... I'll be honest, I did a pretty **** job first time round - so want to make them perfect...

    Hey guys and gals, wondering if anyone knows of a decent detailer/valet in the Leeds area... And roughly how much will it cost to get the car back to showroom condition? I don't really have the time to do it myself, and tbh, detailing isn't my thing - I like driving the car, but washing...

    This is how the special editions should look...

    Yes, I know these are some Meggys - but I bloody love them! Maybe some of the decals are over the top (especially the red bull logos...) But this is kind of how I imagined the new 200 Red Bull edition to look... not black and yellow! I think the one in the top right looks AMAZING...

    Tracking down a number plate

    Hey guys, had a quick scour online - to see how you might go about it, but nothing really popping out... Is there anyway to track down a particular number plate? And then try and approach them to buy it... I've a feeling it's possibly illegal or tied up with data protection? Fingers...
