No it wasn't chief.. it was a company called VRS in bodmin i think they deal mostly with insurance claims, i have one other to try in bodmin and then i'm going to try one of your recommendations, if it carrys on like this i'll be asking whats involved and doing it myself :roll: cheers andy

I'VE just had the written quotation and with materials and VAT the price for the above job has gone up to £650.00 :shock: which i just can't justify spending, so i'm checking out some other places, what do people think about this price??? cheers andy

The 2 x 5" sounded OK but didn't have anywhere near the depth or weight as a 10 or 12, but that is what the customer wanted so Audioscape obliged. Yeah the Series III is expensive but if you're into SQ, it's quite an amp! Genesis do a Profile range though which is considerably cheaper, and also smaller. It also has a fan built in so you don't need to remove the parcel shelf speaker as I've had to do to allow the heat to escape through the grill. And erm, sorry there's no update on the box as yet. Audioscape have been mega busy of late and I've been busy returning my car back to stock.....but I'm aiming to get started on it with the next fortnight. Cheers K i think i'm gona have to stick with the 12 on the drivers side and sneek a quality amp in. cheers andy

Mate of mine just the other day bought a 2 year old 911 with " your no 3's " on it looked absolutley legend with my c sat next to it i could quite imagine it suiting the porsche rims...... by the way he's a builder :shock: anyway..... what was the question again?........ no-3!

Metallic 2.0l 16v ....... The Bull " see ya inna bit am jus takin bull oot fora spin"......

Pricey business... yet worth it! i've been following A20LEE's thread and i think he mentioned that he's had 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of lacquer is this the same as oem or over and above and a job like that... how much is that likely to cost?

The guy has been recommended ...so i'll probably use him, thanks for the comments. Incidently you were talking about a respray, 1000- 1500 ...and the job only looks good for 2 years??? is that right because thats scarey news :shock:

I've got some corrosion on the acute corner just below the passenger side glass quarter, i've treated once and its returned with renewed vigor. the rust spot is the size of a ten pence but to do a proper job the glass will have to be removed and the area around where the window seal is situated will have to be treated... and everything put back( so i'm told) anyway this along with a small dent on drivers side front arch... i have been quoted verbally £350.00, he's going to formally write to me confirming this....the company quoting was recommended which i guess is a good thing, does this sound reasonable? or should i shop around a bit? cheers

I have a 2.0l 16v and i'm keen to get more bhp, i was originally considering the 1.8T conversion, how does the G60 conversion compare, is itr alot cheaper/ easier to do?

nice one 8)

Wasn't sure where to put this question? anyway i really neede some help on the best way of getting some original estorils on my c. although there appears to be no shortage of people selling them, i'm slightly worried of geting a bag of nails! as i reckon i'll end up buying them blind i.e sent through the post (which if any one knows a cost for this 4 x wheels if you would let me know much appreciated) i'm well aware they 'll need a refurb but the important thing is that they are straight. can anyone please give me a bit of advice here!!! andy
