    Hi yes you are right...fast glass is best on the tailgate glass but the detailer works better on the gloss areas and alloys as it does not streak even in the warm...we used it on a photoshoot and the car looked great. I found bumper shine is best on the black sill covers...again from autoglym...

    Does your i3 inspire you to drive it like a hot hatch?

    I would have to agree, you are very tempted to make use of that torque at the lights. I know what a Lamborghini driver must feel like as so many people stop, stare point, comment, crowd round, want a drive...best of all is seeing other drivers faces in the rear view mirror when they are left...

    2 weeks as an owner - and I mostly love it

    Hi I have had my Rex for almost two weeks and would agree that it is an excellent all-round car. I did a round trip of 180 miles during the week with 2 passengers. I would agree that the lack of compatible chargers (fast/slow) is a big issue. The Rex is not an economical way to use the car...

    Picked up mine today

    Picked mine up yesterday - in white and yes it does look like a stormtrooper! I ordered it in November, a Rex with DC charge and the 428 alloys as the only options...I wish I had opted for the upgraded stereo - the standard unit is good but the silence allows you to enjoy your music Having...
