    M3 Paint quality comparison USA vs. China

    see my last paragraph I included this because of the issues with a few cars that have had with poor paint application (robot error) and the sill adhesion issue (possibly drying times?) My main point was that UK roads are currently covered with stones so I would expect that the reason people...

    M3 Paint quality comparison USA vs. China

    Paint hardness is being misunderstood within the Tesla and other car brands social media groups and has no relevance to how stone chipping occurs, in my professional experience. Main factors that normally contribute to stone chipping is vehicle design/shape and driving styles. Currently I am...

    New suspension, finally

    Any competent garage could do this in less than 4 hours. I used the BOSS Racing who look after my Caterham, anything to do with the suspension and brakes is very straightforward, to an engineer, plus MPP have very comprehensive installation instructions. Insurance not a lot, exchanged...

    New suspension, finally

    I too have fitted MPP comfort kit and this has transformed my car. More stable, less roll and yes more comfortable. Rides the bumps and is a lot less crashy than the standard set up.

    Keyed!

    So speculating. Quote from the This is Money article you link......."Meanwhile Direct Line said that it wouldn’t raise premiums the first time but if the driver continued to make non-fault claims it could start to factor it in as it could indicate something about their driving habits." Don't...

    Keyed!

    Have you had actual experience of this or are you speculating? Potentially this is true of all insurance, but this is a marketing benefit that Direct Line uses and would therefore be counter productive to penalise there customers who use it. This will not be a cheap repair, to get it done right.

    Year Old - Tyre rotation / brakes

    Regarding tyre rotation, for safety, all tyre manufactures recommend that you fit newer tyres (more tread) to the rear of any vehicle. This is because you don't ever want your rear tyres to hydroplane before the fronts. (7) Michelin Safety Video - YouTube

    How to fight this? Suffering excessive stone chips

    I work in the paint automotive industry and the paint on your car (and other I've seen on facebook) is "delaminating" and in these cases is caused by the basecoat (colour) not adhering to the primer coat and this is causing the paint to peal off around the stone chips. One of many reasons why...

    Chips Away for minor repair on multicoat red?

    You wont find anyone doing professional SMART repairs on a bonnet/roof's the process is not designed for large panel repairs, let alone a 3 stage pearlescent Red (multiple layers of different paint, interacting with each other), and lets get one thing clear touch-ups do not repair the damage...

    Paint repair issue

    Correct its a "flat" finish caused by poor clearcoat application and lack of polishing. Have you taken it back? It should be a simple fix to any decent bodyshop and should not of been given back to you like that.
  22. Jonny Ringo

    Paint repair issue

    Again no advice on Tesla. As long as enough clearcoat (top layer) has been applied this should allow for it to be flattened (sanded) and then polished to the correct paint finish. A good bodyshop/ car painter would do this as a matter of course and is a standard part of the process. Your repair...

    M3P owners using summer tyres in Winter

    The benefit of winter tyres is only relevant in low temperatures, below 7 celsius, depending on were you live/drive will be a massive influence in how beneficial they would be. As I live in the south east and on average we only get a handful of days below 7 degrees I have decided it isn't worth...

    I had a similar issue and it turned out to be nothing more than a loose connection on the 12 volt battery. As GRiLLA says you can’t just reject and get a new ☝️

    Any tips on light scratch removal ?

    Beware, an electric polisher, in the wrong hands can cause more harm than good, causing lots of micro marring. If the scratches are really light then a hand applied polish should hide them, try Turtle Wax Hydrophobic Sealant (effective, inexpensive and easy to apply) or similar product. If this...

    Model 3 performance handling

    Old Subaru’s under steered so lifting mid corner helped bring the back round progressively, but most cars like a balanced throttle pre mid corner ready for powering out. I collect my M3 tomorrow so will find out a bit more on the way home:D about the weight transfer.
