Just came out today and my car came off pretty good in the pics :) Quite a well put together buyers guide as well.

Still not seen one and been out here all week :( You know how sometimes you think you may have - but then it turns out to be something way off target. I am going to find one if its the last thing i do. Spoke to most of the guys I work with and there reaction is normally 'Ahh yes, this car is not made anymore, and was never that much used as the insurance was always to high! Watch this post - camara phone at the ready, pic coming soon!

I have got a K&N 57i and another similiar type affair and both of them have never stayed on for longer then a week. Never tried a BMC and heard some good stuff. Out of choice of the above its the standard airbox box for me - loads better and a nice subtle sound and a decent level of protection from the engine heat. I swear I lost performance with the cone jobbys and I would not put one on again esp with the warmer weather coming on. A thumbs down for me.

agreed they don't like it hot at all - thats one of the reasons i binded the K&N. Felt like my right foot was pushing down into a bowl of cheesy peas.

what sort of area is it coming from - there are plenty of places that oil can leak from, can you see any area drops are collecting.

B4LJX dude i drive past you everyday and always have a look at what other work you have done - I just live up the road from you :) Often wondered if you may be a forum member! I think i know what you mean about the roads - those center island speedbumps are pure evil! Car is looking great by the way and suit those rims 100%!

Thats what i was thinking - i may pop along the police station tommorow to see if they can do anyting, but it did not seem that important to them when i called them earlier. TBH they kind of gave me an atitude for saying that she had helped cause an accident by performing an illegal move - as if was claiming to know their job better then they do.

Well he managed to swerve to miss me - but then had to come back in as she was coming down straight at him in the central reservation (which resulted in his front offside hitting my rear drivers side). Poor bugger, still was his fault because he should have been looking ahead to give him time to brake... Makes my blood boil when i think of it - just the way the idiot kept looking right ahead and drove off knowing full well she had just f**ked up two people. The kind of look a dog makes when its let one off and gets up and leaves the sitting room.

Cars -I love and hate em.. Hope you get it sorted chris and pick up another Rado!

Yeah there are some cracks around the perimeter of dent - just spoke with my insurance company and that put my mind at rest. They will look after all of the admin stuff and supply a rental car whilst its in for repair - the guy said it has to be the same model / spec or better then my present car - could this be an R32 for the week??? This just leaves me to find a good panel / spray shop in berkshire area who will look after my baby and do a good job.

VW windrush in slough - Same as a few others have said, no reaction at all (miserable buggers)

cool - ill bring the angle grinder and a fibre glass kit ;)

cheers double-6s Need to get it into a god body shop - it looks ok but who knows what could have been bent up behind the rear bumper. Phil K, deffo will be there on sunday still - show off me war wounds!

Cheers Phil - yeah it nothing to bad and only cosmetic - just shows what a tuff bast6rd the rado is :) I did not get the punto's reg - I jumped out and shouted 'you need to stop love' but she just sheepily looked ahead and drove off. What a spineless cow, first she did an illegal move and then left the scene of the accident. I called the police but they said she had nothing to do with the accident, and to report her doing a illegal move i would have to go into the station and fill in forms, and as i did not have her reg nothing would porberbly come of it???

Heading into to work and this prat in a punto decides to try and do a 3 point turn on a dual carridge way. So i pull to a stop and switch my hazard lights on. 5 seconds later i hear screeching tires and a crunch as someone planes into the back of me..... Turns out the C has a small dent just below the badge - the front of the guys accord is a mess of smashed plastic. Now just have all the insurance bollox to go through. Meanwhile the silly cow in the punto just drives off.... :mad:

Nah - only an escort with a body kit and a chicken wire front grille :)

Working out in dusseldorf and been trying really hard to spot some rado's - but not seen one yet. Seen plenty of goof's with german plates though :)

Mate this may be bull so listen to the others as well, but sounds like your calipers are seizing.

JOM badgeless grill - hairdryer and dodgy fixing glue that melted my headlight surrounds, that was a bad baadd day.

Thats a good guide...

This car is just a whole new level - respect jay for such craftsmenship.

That looks really good trig - do you have green blubs / are you emitting yellow light?

off topic - but :rofl: @ Walesy's new avatar!

Cheers Toby_Unna really enjoyed today and was good to meet you and the others, really good bunch of guys. I hope you enjoyed the drive (it was that sound that sold the car to me as well) . Just been reading through the mag and its great, learnt a few bits already - esp like the issue on tuning vee-dubs :) a real owners magazine and not afraid to roll up the sleeves and get the spanners out :)

Battlestar galactica comes to mind (esp with a red led plusing from left to right)..
