What brand of hair putty did you use? The cheaper ones tend to clag easily and can stick in your throat?

I wasn't aware I was meant to be applying it with my mouth, I best start again. I'll remove what I've already applied with nail polish :thumbsup:

Orally is always the best method, the alternatives don't bear thinking about( and may be illegal, I know surrey has by laws preventing applictaion in this manner)

Crikey you know, I think I've gone about it all the wrong way!

I might even push the boat out and put a coat of lip gloss over the top to get it extra shiny.

I've been offered a mini but it's a special edition and they want £9.400 for it. Do you think I should buy it? It's a really rare edition, it's the square shaped mini with a fiat badge on the front and panda written on the back. They say I need to get back to them asap or they will up the price and poke my eyes out with spoons.

Thanks in advance.


does it still have it's original square wheels ?

I was told to use a clay bar on my mini but the closest I could get was hair putty, it doesn't seem to be leaving a shiny finish, any ideas?


try a bit of hair spray over the top of the paint

I just had an idea - if I changed my usual Beethoven CD to something like Pendulum or the Prodigy, was sort of increase in speed could I expect?

you would be looking at least a 1000bhp more

but a 50'' subwoofer would really increase the speed

P.S Pendulum and Prodigy Are Awesome But I Got The Point :dontgetit:

Hi everyone, having a bit of trouble and wondered if you could help. My mini is covered in dead bugs after its trip down the motorway and I had trouble getting them off. I was told to use elbow grease but when going in to the local motor factors and asking for it all I got was funny looks and laughed at.

Any idea where I can get some?

Many thanks
