i agree! i have an issue with "kicking" the side of the clutch pedal when i go to engage, i think the pedal itself needs to sit an tad bit lower...

I didn't see anyone correct the statement about the JCW sport seats, so here goes......those are not JCW sport seats. They have the same cloth pattern but those aren't the JCW sport seats (which are built like Recaros). And JCW sport seats (cloth or Dinamica/leather) "DO" have the lumbar adjustment. If you are thinking of buying a JCW, ask lots of questions!

Good Luck,

I've seen this process being used before, and I have no idea what it is. Would someone care to elaborate on what's going on here, and what the benefit of doing this is?

Thanks!

Try bumperplugs.com. They are barely noticeable.

You're looking at a $50 part if you just want to replace the cover that the plate was screwed to. Check it out on www.realoem.com

Thanks!

this is a pre-wash technique used by professional detailers and detailing enthusiasts. It has many benefits but the biggest is that it aids in preventing swirls in your paint. By loosening up contaminants on the surface it allows you to use little to no pressure while using your wash mitt.

oh yeah, to keep this thread on topic, here's a picture

Meet Count Chocula

Took delivery of a '15 Iced Chocolate F56 S Manual 3 weeks ago today. Was sad seeing my Roadster go but have absolutely falling in love with this car. Here are a few pics for the thread.

Nicely done! I'm envious of the weather down there. I'm from Florida, and love Pennsylvania except for in the winter....can't get over quick enough for me & my new JCW (with summer tires!).

Thanks!

Chemical guys have it , foam cannon or foam gun. Use with super suds soap. Easy way to cover the car in soap very quickly.

Less scratches when using a wash mitt. Builds up a very nice slick level or soap.
