Michelle the paint on the MY01 has been improved so it actually repels H20 now, you might what to consider a respray, it also contains PTFE so you aren't required to clean it so often.

I think the product code is 74559

Also the surplas material could be reused as 4 mudflaps for your car cut to fit perfectly. This would also reduce the noise from your tyres as they would be sound deadening..

Having a nitrogen spray nozzle properly placed in front of the tyres, for the cooling effect, will also decrese tyre wear in the warmer climates.

I notice the lack of mud guards is better for the road noise transmission, it also seems to aid cornering!

You don't get that really annoying grinding sound.

Simply re-route your blowers using a load of piping from b&q into your engine area, then slap your a/c on full.

Cheaper than liquid nitrogen and less explosive! [/quote]

Mr Cryptwald, I believe you are confusing liquid nitrogen with liquid hydrogen.
Nitrogen gas is inert and only explosive in an overly compressed stage.

I think it would depend more on the compression rate you actually managed to achieve with the gas and of course the size and grade of the piping used.

Obviously if you used Hydrogen (the dangerous option) it would be more likely leak out of the rubber hosing I was planning on using.

That is very inapropriate behavior on this most serious thread.
Consider your self chastized young man!

Astraboy if you can't control yourself better maybe you should go back to the Muppet Forum where your daft antics maybe looked on with amusement!

Billbill - I think Michelle is referring to removing the sound deadening material from under her bonnet.

It was the thread before we seemed to get sidetracked.

I have Michelle, but as I said earily my paint is a different compound to yours.

[edit: correcting some terrible spelling mistakes]

The fig syrup has many beneficial characteristics. The best of which is it's aromatic nature. Goes well with the convertible models.

Ohhhh...
Then it's a matter of semantics.
I was speaking from an American understanding of the word Bonnet.
Over here a bonnet is worn on the head.
I believe Michelle was referring to (what we call) the engine compartment cover or hood.

This adds an entirely different complexion to the previous commentary.
I will review all of the above and attempt to give a proper response tomorrow.

It has been my experience when removing sound deadening material that the sound becomes livlier and more apparent.

And I believe this also applies to pointed foil caps, as in the world of the Muppets.

Billbill it is amazing the model versions you have over there. I am a little jealous really, were stuck with plain hard-top model.
