Group buys are usually put to SteveP first and he puts them in the group buy section :happy2:

He's at the 'ring this weekend, so may not be on the forum too frequently till next week.

^^^^
What you can also do is start a new thread in this General section titled something like "GB feeler - etc" to see how many might be interested before a proper GB is arranged via SteveP. You'll probably need to know the amount of interest first in order to agree a unit price with the seller/supplier.

I've used front bras for years on all my cars when travelling long distances or motorways.



Really do help stop stonechips and does a job!

Cheers

Where do you get your front bras from?  And are they easy to fit and remove? Cheers

I've just done a 750-mile round journey and really could have done with one of these. Might be interested.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Mine is absolutely peppered in chips, keep meaning to give this stuff a whirl, seems to be well recommended...  :smiley:

http://bbs.scoobynet.com/car-care-380/676581-dr-colorchip-a-review.html

Got some of this stuff a couple of weeks ago and finally got round to using it today.  I am pretty impressed.  Done a few chips on the bonnet and one scratch on the wing.  The scratch has now virtually gone (it wasn't very deep to start with), and I reckon I can hide the chips a bit better with another going over as I don't think I applied enough paint or I wiped it too much.  I'll attempt to get some before and after shots next time I give it a go.

I find it much easier than using the touch up sticks and it really is as easy as it says!

Kudos to Beddie on the links....  :happy2:

If "seeing is believin" holds, and the pix are not doctored, i think the product is indeed remarkable.. Tops on the to-buy list during my next trip into the US in July.

I've been looking to sort some chips on the Cupra and didn't fancy taking sand paper to my car so I've just ordered from these guys, apparently very similar to, if not the same as drcolorchip and located in this country.

http://www.chipex.co.uk/

and theres a group buy with discount code to be found here.

http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=270133

Hopefully I'll have mine by the weekend and let you know how I get on  :smiley:
