DON’T ADD WATER!
Dec 15th
New car care brand, Smart Polish Pro has a very cool range of products that not only look and smell nice but actually go above and beyond the call of duty and make a real difference to your car’s appearance.

As it’s a waterless polish it is at its best without er, water. These types of polishes are superb if you don’t have access to a pressure More >
KEEP YOUR LOOM TIDY
Dec 15th
DEI has come up with an easy way to tidy up those wires and hoses that come with added accessories – and there’s no need to disconnect them to sort out the problem, either.
Their Easy Loom sleeves offer a clean classy way to protect exposed wires, hoses and cables and the split design makes it easy to install over existing wiring looms. It comes in various diameters allowing for any number of new wires to be grouped with the existing loom. The finished result looks like a factory-installed loom and gives no clue to the new wiring that is housed More >

MK INDY PROJECT SOLD TO KIT CAR DIRECT
Dec 1st
MK Indy now under the Kit Car Direct banner…
One of my all-time favourite Lotus Seven-inspired sportscars is the MK Indy. Created as part of the Ron Champion Locost movement way back in 1998 by the top bloke that is Martin Keenan, the Indy first appeared in very basic component form spread out on a blanket on the floor in the cowshed at Stoneleigh that year.
From the outset, Martin gave the people what they wanted; top quality components at a pocket money price and as a result sold loads of components. As soon as he introduced chassis and body panels, therefore More >
