ive only just seen this - i had a week off last week the gf is likely to not be happy! andrew from DTC brought it off her end of last year via ebay he turned up many hours later than scheduled, though with notice, but it was dark & damp by the time he got there - not the best condition to view a car long story short he moaned rather a lot & then offered many hundred notes under the his ebay winning price now he is trying to make £5K on it after telling us he wanted it as a keeper it doesnt even look like he/they have done anything to it since buying lying piece of **** salesman!!

RESULT!!!! did Vince manage to sort everything out for you m8?

hi Fendervg take alook at this http://www.silentcoat.co.uk/collections/silent-coat/products/silent-coat-2mm-mat-door-pack i have recently re-adjusted the drivers liner in my VR but occasionally it is still not right - when funds allow i am going top try the above as i have seen some fitted & it looks a much better solution than factory

i didnt notice the price lol however, on 2nd look i did notice that the company says they can also produce the foam inserts. a better look & there are the seat upper inserts i wonder if they can produce the one we all need, the drivers lower bolster!? cant see one on the ebay page though :(

they do not look like a 'cover' to me they look like a full kit to completely re-trim the upholstery thus would require some skilled dis-assembly & even better skilled re-assembly that said, with the right skills they could produce good results - though i would wonder about the leather durability as a result of what quality leather was used could be an option if a refurb of originals is out of the question

scuff my ass!! that is a frickin dent lol

bloody good info again m8 thanks!! lol

if i hadnt just checked my bank i would be saying yes to this, even if just for the day sadly, funds will not allow

well i am pleased to say that the VR performed well in the monsoon today - only the very slightest of dribbles of water on the top of the plastic sill trim no soaking footwell carpet yay :) i wonder how the valver is at home lol

oh i see, the other way round then both awful for the innocent involved

blimey what is with this weather eh - june, it looks like bloomin november outside! dare i type it though but the VR drivers door seal seems to be behaving itself - probably jinx'ed myself now & it will be damp carpets at break time & as i type the rain is hammering - fingers crossed it holds today! oh & i hope my porch doesnt flood either :(

checked out the video thanks lots of different products required with that 3M version - plus the damn gun thing - so not looked for a kit yet it looks very similar to the Wurth kit though & they are very pricey - unless i then went into a side line of bumper repair lol the advantage i could see of the hot air plastic welding is that the units themselves are not too pricey & then the various different forms of plastic rod are fairly cheap prep & finishing is very much the same for both styles i wonder if Ed from wheeler dealers would help, he has a Wurth kit lol

if you read it some poor bugger has had their blackberry nicked & probably written off! :( "On Tuesday night, police revealed a 25-year-old had been charged with aggravated taking without the owner's consent, causing serious injury by dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, driving while under the influence and having no insurance." absolute scum!

oh i see thanks culshaw in that case could i have 2 pls :) lol

where do these clips sit then? under bonnet somewhere?

the KW's have shot up over the past few years! plus if i am honest Jim the V1's are a little too unforgiving on our god awful roads. maybe the slightly softer spring rate that can be brought could help but really they need the adjustability of the 2's or 3's, which are now silly money. however, get them on some decent flat (ish) tarmac - IE a properly laid smooth tarmac road which our councils now seem unable to produce - & they are sublime, then get them on some decent twisties & they show their value through & through the refreshed bushes on front wishbones & rear beam also give them that added softening in bump that said, you get what you pay for & i have done about 60K on my V1's & they are still as good as when fitted

ok thanks fella i will take a look at the link & then drop you a PM with some questions etc if that would be ok :)

no need for google on that one ;) LOL

as long as google is correct then yes lol it was 'welcome, take a look around'

thanks for the offer m8 ive not looked into 2 pack plastic repair kits - have you any links pls? i have seen the Wurth replast plastic repair kit - the one used by wheeler dealers - but the kit itself is extremely expensive

bienvenidos echar un vistazo alrededor (gotta love google translate lol)

hello m8 no danger, i appreciate your reply cool, great info thanks :)

not sure - possibly some will but likely that some will not have you tried Roose motorsport? though i have a feeling they only do the VR kits

hi Yandards - any info on the faff you mentioned pls? MOT in next couple of weeks & i may need to swap the suspension out thanks

Goldie if i am honest i still can not believe that i managed to find even a complete kit - when you sent me the original photos i nearly fell off my chair when they confirmed what i had hoped i have looked for one of these Kamei kits on & off ever since owning the valver on the 1st occassion - which is now about 16 odd years ago! & add to that the fact that you ever so kindly met up with me whilst on your long journey! i will always be grateful to you m8 :D Oh i did recently find out from VW that the kit was not a factory option as i thought. i do wish one of the owners between me selling & rebuying the valver had not lost all that lovely history it used to have i still remember the guy i brought it from 1st time lived by the JCB plant near alton towers & had every tax disc, mot, date ordered bills etc etc, such a waste to have been lost BUT at least they didnt molest or ruin my valver too much lol
