  1. scott, post up what tosser fitted your alarm - its nice to know who to avoid :shock:
  2. give it time scott, aint no denying the fto an awesome car 8)
  3. i'm with kev on this one , the ps1 did have a problem , often solved by turning the unit on its side or turning it over, as suggested burn slower and experiment with different discs , they have different reflectivity, i always found verbatim pretty reliable, also you could try different software to burn with 8)
  4. nice link mate,cheers 8)
  5. jeez how much would that of cost to get done at the stealers :shock: :shock:
  6. nice mate , good to hear your getting sorted , had a few niggles myself when i bought mine but i think its only to be expected, do the lupo gti wipers swop before winter , the standard are chronic at speed ps . a good place for the cd multichanger is in the rear armrest 8) mines in at the mo get the bonnet and bits tidied up 8)
  7. check the side of the door panel it is screwed and the panel lifts up and out 8) , oh and i think theres a screw inside the speaker pod(just take the cover off), i havent got my car at the mo so i cant be more precise :(
  8. i've decided to go for the just the top slat for now, the guy who is doing the car seems to be doing an excellent job ( i'll give an honest opinion when he has finished) he has taken pictures for me of the various stages of progress so i'll post a thread when he's finished and i'll probably write an article for sprinter and include the photos, it should have been ready today but there was more to it than he originally thought, the bonnet had been filled in a few places so when he went to rub it down he went through the old filler and is now going to redo it all ( he said it was his own fault , he should have seen it when he gave me the price so it doesnt alter the original price, woohoo !! , honesty eh , very rare ) he asked me to spend 1/2 an hour and make notes of any particular areas that i was concerned about , :D this ended being 2 x A4 sheets long !! but since those he has found extra things he wasnt happy about , one of them was under the front number plate there was a dent in the valance which you couldnt see, so i said to leave it but he said he couldnt put it back knowing its not right , so he's doing it at the mo its on axle stands with no doors , no back lights , no front bumper, no headlights, no bonnet, basically stripped, the doors have been stripped (no handles,miroors,door cards etc) he will not mask things for painting - if it will come off then it comes off ! he will renew all the paint inside the doors on the main shell , inner sills etc so no lines where it was painted to 8) oh well we'll see , as i said i will give an honest opinion of the work when its finished ( with photos) a lot of time has been prepping as i noted every little parking dink it has had for the last 12 yrs the guy who is doing it used to have a VR6 and know has a golf rallye and an old beetle so he likes vee dubs 8) - always a good start
  9. got mine from here, no logo but they fit perfect , totally fill the front wells and they send you lugs to attach them to the original carpet http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 2489724360

    Sticky goo

    for sticky stuff use wd40 or if you've got it lighter fuel rub the wd40 in with your finger after you've sprayed it on and you'll feel the goo get softer and softer , works a treat for getting decal glue off fairings etc etc
  14. i hate theives :x :x the police dont care too busy catching speeders on open roads :x :x dont get me started bloody revenue thats all they're interested in
  15. hmmm sounds good , but the car is for spraying this week so i'm thinking he's going to do a better job than me with a couple of cans, well i hope he is :shock: i like your way of thinking tho 8)
  16. ouch , we've had a late vote for the eyebrow green and 2 slats black, gotta make my mind up by the morning :( at least if it looks sh*&e i can put old grill back on
