a good ending to a bad thread :lol:

i have to say that i'm utterly chuffed with what nath has done, driving home tonight felt like i'd just driven out of the showroom in a new car, smelt beautiful. i stopped in a carpark to look at it under the orange floodlights and its looked amazing. a bloke even drove past, bent his neck looking at the car, then a few seconds later he had turned around and pulled in to admire it, he absolutely loved it (he himself had a v.nice bmw 330 something or other) so thanks a lot Nath, you've done yourself proud imo, worth every penny (even if most of it is the boss's) :lol::lol:

echo?

needs lowering :lol:

neat coolant :lol: did you read the instructions?

the passenger window in my corrado stopped closing probably lastnight gets most of the way but it leaves a 1cm gap at the top, its doesn't seem lined up properly, i.e: it moves out from the car as it goes up and doesn't seem to be in the runner properly, so i have to get out and push on the window from outside to get it to sit flush, then it will close. do you think something needs replacing? or just adjusting? i not got a clue how to take it all apart, didn't really wanna mess around with the interior too much :(

when my light was doing this i check the header tank and was missing 90% of the water

Woohoo!!! Car looks fab now, am very happy with the result, can't see where the dog had mauled my bumper, i went to a petrol station after work and under the lights it looked amazing, definatley turned some head and made some people smile :D I would highly recommend Nath to anyone, top lad & great work. Looking forward to the interior after today :D

but wouldn't a higher one allow more air pass beneath the car?

i'll wait till mine breaks then :lol: is only the passenger side

do they go loose (interior) handle and make a rattling noise when you shut door? my passenger one does this, but still works, am worried it may break soon

Hi nath is not a problem if you return to finish it on friday. there is a workshop here, but it is in use daily, so not sure how easy it'll be you may have to move car about when needed, the guys leave at 4:30-5pm we also have some outdoor lights on stands that we could setup where ever needed, Indoor/outdoor etc Am just running off home now, so i'll probably speak to you tomorrow

so whats the general opinion on the ebay looms? is a couple of different types

Your gonna need a steady supply of lenses then ! (i think the general concensus is that they cant take the heat for long periods ) Long periods? how long is long? generally you only get to use full-main beam for short bursts anyway, before an oncoming car appears and you have to switch down.... on these short periods have people found the lenses to get damaged from heat? seems strange a light unit cant stand up to the heat ?? sounds very odd to me, i've not had any problems using my lights on long journeys, i've left my fogs on for ages too. am sure they would test the maximum heat given off when making a car and design lights to cope

He is coming tomorrow i think, i've asked him to do the whole option 2 treatment he offers as well now. So i'll see how it comes out, am sure it will look good

just been looking through this thread as i really love the pic in your sig and see it so often :lol: its a fab car :thumbs: the colour is super makes me really want to get on modding mine, at least get some suspension

i've always thought tyres pressures should be the same no matter what the tyre size, as it the same car, same weight being put on tyres, it may be less air but at the same pressure. i'm not 100% on that, but is what i believe to be true

i read the manual and the stickers and thats what i saw, i'll double check tonight tho

i have my standards at 36 front, 32.5 rear

i was told mine have all been replaced for infinitys ones, but still sounds crap to me, very rattly, i think it may be the car that rattles :(

not sure tbh, he only really uses it when he is going to visit people/clients etc, sits at his house most of the time. was a couple of astons here the other day, as the boss had three paint blokes from aston come here to check out his paintwork (this was same day that dog ate my car)

the boss's one

whatabout the ones on ebay? some are £30, some are £17

awesome, thats what the boss has, not driven in it yet, he only let me sit in it and start it up. they bring a whole new meaning to the saying "a nice car"

they were over £50 for the motor when i last looked
