Thanks guys.
Well, im definitely upgrading the sound system. New speakers & sub being the first job. Id like to get an Typhoon induction kit too but that depends on how much extra insurance will be. I also would really like to upgrade the brakes, they dont feel good enough to me for the amount of power this thing has especially in Vtec. But again, that'll push my already sky high insurance up. Id love to get it lowered as well but with the amount of speed bumps & messed up roads around Sheffield its not really an option. So apart from sound system im not sure what i'll be able to get done yet.

:lol: I knew what I was doing. Or thought I did. I paid for my over confidence in parking a couple of weeks later when I parked like that, then the next day found some arsehole parked right up to my front bumper. Only way I could get out was to go on the curb... Only made a small mark but I was still proper gutted. I now leave enough space to park a smart car in front, behind or between me & the curb now.
Oh, & this is what I woke up to the morning after that clean
All that beading water had completely frozen. Looked pretty cool.

Thanks mate.
Used Autoglym Super Resin Polish (http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_851367_langId_-1_categoryId_165527) & Meguiars Nxt Generation Tech Car Wax 2.0 (http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_199281_langId_-1_categoryId_165527)
Im almost out of that Super Resin Polish & when buying some new I noticed a variation - Ultra Deep Shine (http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_248706_langId_-1_categoryId_165527). Not tried it yet but meant to be more for darker colours so you might want to give that a go, might be even better.
A couple of weeks ago I also spent a day using Turtle Wax Black Box Detailing Kit on it (http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_753637_langId_-1_categoryId_255233). Absolutely brilliant that stuff is. Use it once or twice a year just to bring back or keep that deep black look to the paintwork.

Personally I'd avoid that Ultra Deep Shine stuff, tried it once and didn't find it any better than the SRP. If anything, it doesn't give the nice shine SRP does. More matt it anything.
Consistency wise, it felt gritty in comparison too. Don't know about the make up, but I wasn't a fan.
If you're looking to get some nice products for your NHB, I'd go with Poorboys Black Hole and then seal it with 3M Marine Wax. Both products give a superb shine, and a good lasting protection.

Fitted my new 2nd hand sub, amp & enclosure set that I bought last weekend today
Really happy with it. Sounds better than my old one did too. Although as I was checking the wiring diagrams for the amp I read the sub is meant to vibrate inwards. Mine feels like its going outwards. Ive gotten all my polarities correct & it sounds fine, brilliant even... Anything I should worry about?
