  1. :lol: nicely done!! It's already up dude, 2nd link on the 1st post :)
  2. Funnily enough a set of 4 mint 20mm ones arrived from Germany yesterday, so will be putting them on over the wknd!! Still not heard back from the knob, escalating the case on eBay tonight.... Ummmm, I wouldn't say I find it too bad to be honest, there's a few potholes around but I'm always watching the road for any likely suspension knackering candidates!! I'd go for it mate. On a separate note, had a stag do down Torquay on the wknd, literally 2mins from leaving the house we rented on my way back Sunday and some idiot slammed his brakes on 'coz the traffic lights started turning amber, even though he was pretty much passed the line (his car was actually all the way past the line when he did come to a stop) so had to slam mine on. I could have got through the lights, as could the driver behind me. Anyways my motor comes to a stop but as it's doing so the brake pedal lifted right up into the foot well. Brilliant. Drove round the roundabout and onto the dual carriageway where there was a parking area and investigated, pumped the pedal seemed to get better then suddenly the pedal went even looser than it was before. Fluid level below min, limped to a garage and topped up in the hope it would help but went straight back down below min again. Managed to get home but obviously slowly and not taking it past 60 on the M5 and using the gears and handbrake when needed for junctions etc, the brakes were working but only minimally. Anyways jacked it up earlier and found that one of the front to rear pipes must have fractured where it's clipped on halfway down!! At least it's just a pipe and they needed doing anyways so will be doing the rear 4 as the fronts were done with the 288mm upgrade, sweet.
  3. Recorded a Breakbeat mix on the wknd, 4th time mixing it so relatively new - enjoy mixing it though so much rhythm!! The link is on the 1st post if anyone fancies a butchers. Played the gig back in March, was a complete flop hardly anyone came upto the 2nd room throughout the time me and 2 other mates were playing!! Me and a buddy are playing b2b at an event in June, consisting mainly of Freeform and Breakbeat if anyone fancies it, at the Warehouse in Bristol https://www.facebook.com/events/209000182541803/
  4. I've bought a load of gunsmoke to do the headlights and rears, just haven't got round to it yet. I've had my fogs/indicators done for some time and think it looks pretty sweet!
  5. They look pretty sexy Borbet are they Speedlines? Toyed with the idea of getting some off a Scooby a couple of times!!
  6. Still need to sort mine out - this has reminded me to get it done thanks!
  7. Yeh no worries Walesy it's all good!! Anyone that knows me would know that's a feasible question anyways :lol: Razor blades is an awesome idea, 'til I go to change the grill around and forget they're there :lol:

    Maybe not then :lol:
  9. Haha I might not be the most mechanical minded person but I'm fairly sure I put them on correctly, yes lol. One must've 'fallen off' at edition 1 yr, and seeing as my car has moved once in the last 2 weeks and the badge was there afterwards I'm pretty sure someone's half-inched it . Unless there's been some extreme weather I'm not aware of and it's blown away, lol. Yeh I understand ur thoughts Jay, but it does set the grill of nicely, maybe I'll bond the next one

    Lol @ the flowchart!! Agreed WD40 is an amazing product, smells gert lush too. Would it harm my skin if I decided to use it as a Cologne? :D
  11. Might have to put a cheeky bid on at somepoint as I've had a grill badge nicked off mine TWICE now!! Any idea how much these cost when they were still in production/stock? Saw a mint VR steering wheel go for over £70 the other week, is that normal?
  12. Think the 16's look much better on the 'rado personally. Whereabouts in Somerset are u bud?
  13. The amount of people I have asked nicely to not slam the door only for them to slam it afterwards... Doors are designed to be opened and closed, and the smallest of effort is required to close it. This is what I tell everyone who ever sits in my 'rado, but I swear it does more bad than good!! In my experience my girl mates tend to slam it more than the lads. Honestly it makes me cringe everytime someone gets out of my car!! :lol:
  14. I have some pretty good nick black leather Recaro's. If u do ever decide on a possible swap keep me in mind, always fancied cloth Recaro's!!
  15. How much for the K&N filter mate?
  16. Any pix of the 50mm splitter mate, what cond. is it in? Price posted to Bristol? EDIT: Sorry just seen ur not willing to post
  17. Alright bud? Looking forward to seeing these pix :D When I had a set of these on, I just gently tapped the bearing case thingymajiggy more flat, centre cap went on fine then without spacers!! Although this meant the front was 26mm in total wider than the rear as I had 13mm spacers on the fronts. I wouldn't have been able to fit any spacers on the rear as mine was pretty low. Be careful where u go to get the spacers machined if u decide on that - obviously the machined surface needs to be as square as possible, and as a qualified CNC/manual machinist I know that it takes a little time to set up the machine so it will turn the face square - don't ask any old company to do it!! :)
  18. Sorry Andy didn't notice u'd asked a question! Got a response from him saying "I can't understand this" and gave me his email addy as I requested, I sent him a load of pix to the email addy plus a msg via eBay in German and English trying to explain again what the problem was (as if it isn't obvious enough!!) That was about a week ago now and no response, so I opened a case with eBay yday and got a msg from him today saying he'll refund me €50. I'm not massively happy with that considering I paid €63 per each set plus postage on top, I don't see why I should lose out on roughly £20 because he's sent me dangerous parts!! I've replied back saying €60 is more fair and we'll see what he says - If I'm completely honest I'm glad he's said he'll refund at least the 50 because I paid through bank transfer (no option for Paypal) so it's not really covered...
