    Testing the waters, thinking of selling my HKS Supercharged GT86 to fund a VW camper build...

    Pearl White 37J paintwork

    - HKS V2 Supercharged
    - ECUTek Remap (with license and key included)
    - Borla UEL Header
    - Invidia Exhaust

    Not had the car dyno'ed but I believe that it was re-mapped to around 270-280bhp on a single stage map

    Full genuine 5Axis bodykit (one of the original's before they stopped making them), front bumper lip, side skirts, and rear spats, fully colour coded to the car
    TRD rear spoiler
    Rear window spoiler

    Dark Tinted rear windows

    Varrstoen ES2 18" x 9.5J, recently refurbished
    Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 3 tyres (235/35/R18 up front & 255/35/R18 at the rear), recently fitted so should be around 7-7.5mm of tread remaining

    Eibach -35mm Lowering Springs
    Bilstein B12 dampers

    EBC brake pads

    Valenti Sequential rear light clusters
    Valenti lower Fog light cluster (wired to the side lights to give the 'V' light)

    Interior has subtle red touches to it, but not too 'in your face'

    All around an amazing looking, driving and excellent condition vehicle...

    Currently on around 18.5k miles

    Recently serviced, recently MOT'ed (see photo)

    Got a folder full of paperwork for all jobs carried out on it, all receipts and everything in between

    Private Plate will be removed if/when a sale is agreed

    Looking for £16,999

    just found the advert on my computer...

    ...can now see it does look lowered, other than that, the window tint and the vinyl I can't really see anything else that would suggest anything major modification wise?
    Possibly the exhaust? although I still recon it's standard myself.
    Red calipers (unless non-standard) can be painted with a can of Halfords paint, and the red wheel nuts are a simple 'mod'

    The interior is definitely completely OEM

    I always keep an old credit card/store card/clubcard/etc to hand and run it down in between the seal at the top of the metal part of the door and the glass before opening the car... this is to separate the glass from the seal before you open the door, as the window drops slightly on opening. I've found that if you don't do this and the glass sticks, it can take a little while for the windows to work properly.

    My best purchase for the winter has been a top car cover that only covers the roof and glass sections, it keeps the frost away from the vitals on a morning...

    hate to say, but I find the only thing you should put on your windscreen is RainEX... if you have polish, wax, or anything else similar to that you will find that when it starts to rain, the product may smear across the screen reducing visibility.
    RainEx is brilliant stuff, and the only thing that touches my windscreen

    Okay. Any recommended method of applying it? I imagine just on a soft cloth and go up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down up and down?

    ...don't forget to go up and down, and if you're feeling really adventurous, go side to side too!!

    seriously though, and yes, I do mean seriously, a circular movement from the top corner, across the windscreen, and then slowly move down and come back across. Repeat this until you've covered the whole of the screen, then buff with a paper towel or something similar.
    You could also use a lint free microfibre cloth, but use one to apply the cleaner (whichever you decide to use), and one to remove the excess and buff to a shine

    As per the title really, I hit a deer a few months ago and thought I got away with it... but I think it's broken some of the tabs on the bumper, and put a small split in the plastic just above the grill, as it's now started to sag off the car...

    If anyone has a spare front bumper in standard pearlescent white laying around that they no longer need, I'd happily take it off their hands

    I could also do with a pair of front wings in the same colour... if you have both, or even just one, that you're willing to part with, I'd very much appreciate a reply as paint matching pearlescent paint is going to be a right PITA

    Cheers, Chris

    2015 Mini Cooper Countryman... 
    ...slow, hideous, rattly, uncomfortable ...no acceleration, couldn't overtake anything unless it was stationary ...didn't handle worth a damn ...same size as my old family Ford Focus, but felt about half the size inside ...no room in the boot for anything ...and f**k ugly!!

    I had a 2004 Mini Cooper S that I loved to drive, it handled better than most other cars I've driven, was pretty quick, and accelerated well ...but the Countryman was the complete opposite. I'd rather walk than be given the keys to another one of those.
