Still scares me

Never looks good in my mind, as you'll always have some parts i.e. glovebox in silver then the rest of the dash in grey. Unless you had plans to do the full dash, in which case I wouldn't even use paint, I wouldn't bother.

Sorry, but something is wrong there. I just had my renewal of being 20, in a decent area with 1 years NCB. £1300. I phoned around every company that would insure a Glanza too. You either haven't declared your mods or you have it declared as a GT Turbo, either way being illegal. Either that or you got a sodding lucky quote!

Definitely a no from me, pay the extra and get a decent one.

Forgot to update this thread, sorry guys. Thanks for all the advice, I decided to attempt to get it fixed professionally in the end but all he did was got out a chunky set of pliers and got it pretty much rounded. I then got some smaller pliers and a rubber hammer when I was at home and now it looks pretty much spot on again. Worry over!

That's a truly stunning example. Can't find a flaw with it. Oh, and Geo, you're fooling noone into believing you're German and your name's Martin!

Glad to hear you're home mate, best turn your heating up a bit though if that's the case! I'm sure you'll be back on the mend in no time mate, just remember you've been given a second chance so it'll make you appreciate everything more now. All the best mate, and I hope you have a really quick recovery.

Lovely looking car mate, sounds like you'll soon have good power to match it. Look forward to seeing the new bits added, make sure you keep us updated!

Welcome aboard bud!

Must try harder. D-

Poorboys are generally really good, I've not used Dodo much though. I've used a Meguiars G220 as a DA Polisher on 3 cars now, worked absolutely spot on and much less risky than using an orbital or similar. Claying is cheap and simple to do and has incredible results on your paintwork, would recommend it to anyone. Poorboys degreaser is good, get a decent foaming head and bottle and it does a top job, can be diluted up to 100:1 too so lasts ages. Tyre shine is generally the same, I use the Meguiars stuff you can buy anywhere that is purple, smells good enough to drink and however much you put on decides how shiny the tyres will be. Lasts bloody ages.

It appears that RSS has been installed however at the moment it's not RSS "as we know it." You can basically subscribe to a thread, from what I understand, and get thread updates from that via RSS. I need to speak with Enzo to get this working as I think it would be a great help. I also get the feeds on my phone so I know how handy it is.

Could you try your best to avoid typing in 'txt spk' please.

Glad to hear it bro, best of luck! ;)

Disagree there, if you're at a different angle to the opposite driver on the road, i.e. you're coming up a hill they're going down. I've also noticed on a lot of high cars like Land Rovers and being in a car so low I get blinded frequently. I bloody hate H.I.D's.. Some of the things that are illegal these days and the fact HID's are able remain baffles me as I've been blinded SO, SO many times.

Whoops, must of skipped my radar.

Nice to see everyone being good and level headed about it, it's a huge shame that I'm sure you'd happily turn the clock back on if it was possible. As stated many times, the positive is that everyone has come out of this alive, and (I hope) Bourkey seems to be well on the mend. All the best mate, must be pretty gutting to loose the car and feel like you do at the same time, but at least there'll be a next time now.

Looks really nice bud, that lip is essential in my mind. Just a warning though, 3 of the pics are the same, the before and after are too! ;)

I personally wouldn't want to put my life in the hands of an eBay seller mate. Brakes are really something you shouldn't skimp on. Get yourself some 3G front discs, mintex pads, braided lines and a BMCS.

Cadburys and Nestle are to merger and they will combine products to aid cost savings...

Wash, clay, wash, polish, glaze, sealant, wax.

Got a day off, feel stupidly tired but can't be bothered to waste it by sleeping. My garage is a complete and utter mess and clogged up with parts from my car and my old one. I need to give it a good tidy and get rid of all the old car bits. (Nothing that will be of any excitement I'm afraid, unless anyone wants Zetec-S parts? After that I'm not too sure.

Was really shocked to see this, looks a complete mess. Glad you came out ok mate, pretty devastating about Bourkey though I hope he pulls through and it doesn't have any long term effects for him. Dan Evans - While it's good to warn people about the dangers, who's to say he wasn't sticking to the speed limit (if it was national) and hit something solid? That could easily be the outcome.

Fairy liquid is also acidic, and will slowly eat into the paintwork. Ugh, stop using it, right now. Also get yourself a good lambs wool wash mitt, fuck the chips and fosters.
