  1. never seen the whole thing get taken of and just be left. you normally either trim the rotting rubber bits and leave the hard plastic strips themselves, or take it all out and get the recess filled/smoothed and then painted over..

    Jay, if you end up with a spare metal one then let me know. I'm thinking of swapping to one but just not right now, with your newly started engine collection though maybe thats not such a big deal!
  6. mmm, saw that on PH, can we all come look over the fence?! :D
  7. complete insanity, snot is a word used by 5 year olds... which f*cking idiots are saying this is offensive? they need to grow up..
  8. sorry to hear that roger, hopefully it shouldn't be too tricky to fix up but a sh*tty thing nonetheless..
  9. looks great, make the car look very fast lol! :D never sure if non-standard finish looks good with aqua but the anthracite is cool!
  10. thats a great picture! sorry i wasn't around on the sunday to see this at inters now!
  11. Mine was a 1.1 Renault 5 something, 45 bhp - top whack was 105mph down the hill to J3 on the M40! Loads of fun for a minute engine, understeered like mad but never dangerously once you knew to throw it in to the corner early enough :). Cost loads of money in ripoff repairs but sold it still hanging together at 145k miles! all i can say to that is :shock: :shock: :shock: I hope you have some feline lives in reserve!
  12. noooo! someone needs to physically restrain him, there should be legal obligations associated with owning that car! :D
  13. and basically the same price in todays money as the vr was new, except this has nearly 4 times the horsepower!!! :D
  14. mine are yellow! thats as much as i can tell you!

    New Toy

    nice one, just waiting to be able to pick mine up too! :D not sure i'll be able to wait as long as i planned to get it fitted!
  16. definitely the best plan i reckon! having both handily ends the valver/g60 vs vr debate some people have too! :D
  17. sadly you're not allowed a plate from a year that is more recent than your car.. hence N is the latest standard layout plate you'll see, private or otherwise.

    Max Power

    lol, i feel a "what was your reputation at school" thread coming on!
  19. Cheers to Phil K and Andy Brookes for a few bits I collected today, both very patient waiting for me to get out to them!
  20. Did you ever get anywhere with this?! :D
  21. You're right, he did swerve weirdly before crossing the line - in the press conf he claimed he pulled up because he couldn't take the last chicane at full tilt because of marbles on his tyres from going off line. Anyway, whatever, i'm not his greatest fan as you can probably tell so fingers crossed for Lewis tomorrow! :D
