What's the little mark on each pic?

Dirt on the camera sensor?

gay broken pixels

after speakin to a few .R owners it seems this carbon problem is quite common, most have just put up with it, some have heat reflected the underside of the bonnet and bought engine covers and theres at least one who took it to Renault and they contributed 75% of the cost of a new one

not sure which route to go, i dont want to be spending £xxx on gold heat reflective sheets if it gets really bad then i get it replaced, plus theres the old warrenty thing, mines now out of warrenty but not by much

3 wheels, full cleaned and wearing two layers of sealant

last wheel just needs another layer of sealant on and then there ready for the tyres changing over

i think the colour between the new one and old ones is pretty much spot on

Agggghhh carbon fibre Is a nightmare !! The laquer has lifted on nearly everything I've bought made out of it aswell, I had a front splitter that was really bad for peeling

Ill say one thing though Id maybe try and stick a little bit of laquer over the top just to act like a glue or sealer because once the laquer has lifted the surrounding area seems to follow quite quickly.

Did you prefer your gti to the r26 ?  Or was it just build quality wise ?

i went to the fast show this weekend,

it was a complete wash out, really poorly organaised show. They have refunded people due to the weather which was a nice gesture but it was the worst show ive ever been to. I dont think i'll attend another show at the pod again.

here some pics from the drive down/show
