  1. I bought THIS ONE from halfords. Absolute junk. I had to replace the cables as they didnt fit properly, however the connection is still bad. Since then it no longer keeps chrage so needs the internal battery replacing. I cant even get an exchange as its 13 months old. DONT BUY ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. not possible afaik and with the amount of glue used id say very unlikely. i sprayed mine all black, just carefully masked the lenses.
  3. With a recent thread about not enough meets being organised I thought i'd post my plans for the day on 25th November and see if any one wants to come along! After a successful gatecrash of the Pistonheads meet at AV8 cafe, Kemble airfield, I'm gonna pop over and check it out again. It's a breakfast meet so aiming for around 9:30am. Based on the last meet this will finish around 11:30. Here's a link to the last meet However, for those who really have nothing better to do on a Sunday then look at cars all day, there is also an Edition38 meet at Krispy Kreme in Bristol! Edition38 meet thread This will start at around 2-2:30 and go on until 6ish.. I'm planning on doing both, I enjoyed the breakfast and catch up at Kemble and the Bristol meet is 5 minutes from home so will head over in the afternoon.. If any one else is planning to or wants to come to either let me know! Baz
  4. its nothing new.. 25% off, buy three get one free etc. they might be more expensive than local garages, but if they're offering a reduction on their rrp's they're doing no wrong. along with the countless customers they'll have walking in every day they also have a massive corperate market too - where invoices go to accounts departments who really dont care how much the tyres cost! the problem with independant places is prices are soooooooooooooo varied! I'm now down to 2 places in Bristol that I regularly use depending what im after. I've never bought online as these garages can get the fitted cost to be the same - or less. If you're after new tyres, phone ten places then get the best two to fight for the business. If you dont have time for 10 phonecalls, then you're a kwikfit customer! :lol:
  5. Nice! If it's in good condition I think its worth that sort of money. It's a very late car, a storm, has FSH, sold from a dealer so will be warrantied.. what more do you want? Lower miles possibly, but the forum arguement everytime a low mileage car comes up is a well documented higher mileage car is more appealing!?
  6. my favourite thing is getting a free CD! ive had celine deon & bryan adams greatest hits in recent purchases but my favourite was the R32 had a harddrive on the headunit with every queen album on it! :camp:
  7. well between this thread and the nob telling him how to word his advert im almost safely saved of a journey to milton keynes. :( i havent deleted my snipe yet though so we'll see :lol:
  8. there will defo be interest. im still looking for a 5x100 set, possibly a 4x100 set and would buy others. i believe G23 use aircraft grade aluminium
  9. probably wouldve finished less if the whole forum didnt know about it! :shrug::?:puppydogeyes::bad-words:
  10. really? as in they'd have the tweeter base plate that the standard cars have?
  11. same sort of set up here bud, id take it all one day but in no hurry! perhaps we can split it at the next AV8 meet??
  12. Dave, I never got around to posting the pic of my custom radiator bracket! This one shows the bracket in place [for larger radiator] along with your s/steel screws! Thanks again for sorting this for me - top seller! Baz
  13. I reckon it'll only take you another half an hour in total and cost for a gsf one is about £40. You'd be a fool not too!
  14. nope! i had a set earlier in the year but they were 4 stud, so sold them on again before doing anything with them :lol:
  15. 3 piece BLQ's.. cost about a million pounds. 1 piece versions are good value though.

    Recaro Subframes

    ive been meaning to check this guy out to see whats makeable.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300794766824
  17. good work, really like the dash, looks very well done. are you doing a heater matrix whilst everythings out? id defo recommend it!!
  18. that would probably do the job. its only for my diesel daily so performance isnt so much of an issue :lol: i take it i could specify exact widths if they were being made to spec?
  19. Very impressed with the seat trimming and that you went to the hassle of having the stamp made up. its the little touches that make all the difference. I cringe when i see show cars with oversized recaro embroidered logos. Was the cream leather in decent nick? I dont actually have any recaros, but could be interested if you still have the covers and they're cheap enough :bonk: :lol:
  20. steel would be ok if the price is right, let me know for a pair of 30s and pair of 40s please! josh - if you can confirm widths that would be great.
  21. bloody hell will.. theres a name i havent heard in a while! I used to live up the road with the blue G60.. still got the rado? hows things? Oh and good luck with sale! :lol: Baz
  22. Hi Im looking for a set of adaptors, 5x100 - 5x130. Widths from 25 - 40mm the wider the better. Let me know what you have and a price posted to Bristol. Cheers Baz
