  1. I use Parcel2go too, but generally choose Fedex or UPS. Yodel and Parcel Farce have lost so many of my items. Some of the cheaper services require you to drop them off at a depot, but also require the recipient to collect from a depot as well, so bear that in mind.


  2. Yeah I may buy a second hand one and indicator and just tape over the bumper for now, as I want it looking half decent for JAE next month.



    As it's going through insurance, I'm not sure if I can buy the parts and claim the cost back from the other insurers, or just wait and let both parties sort it all out


  3. Annoyingly, some woman in the wrong lane on a roundabout decided to crash into my Glanza (99 T Reg) on Saturday, so I was unable to take it to Japfest 2! The insurance want quotes from a bodyshop to repair which i'm going to sort out, but I wondered if anyone on here had a rough idea on a price to put this all right.



    What concerns me most is the panel the wing connects to behind the indicator is all bent and twisted, and I can't find out anything about this particular part / panel for repair replacement. Is this the slam panel?



    A clip on the drivers side headlight is also broken from the bumper forcing it out. The other headlight has some minor damage. The front fog light also flew out and cracked on the road. Everything else you can see. Bumper is a TOMS replica



    I've attached a couple of images to the post.



    Cheers for any help

  4. Just be careful with machine polishers and cutters, as if they go dry and get too hot, they'll just burn through the paint and remove it completely.



    You can always experiment with T cut by hand, but don't go too crazy. Some cutting compounds will be harsher than others. Polish afterwards


  5. Any issues with MOT's or being pulled with HID's fitted? I've just put a set on mine. Now reading up about the lights possibly dazzling others as they're not projector type. Definitely noticed a huge difference over standard ones though


  6. I had no issues with wiring my LED's in, all the bulbs were easy to source from ultraleds and apart from needing the resistors for the indicators, it was all straight forward.



    I've uploaded photos previously in my blog but if you require further info, just drop me a PM


  7. I've got a query with these. I emptied mine out the other day and there was quite a bit of fluid and gunk in the pipes, but I noticed quite a lot more around the exit vent. When I looked down, there was tonnes of gunky shit all over the passenger side wishbone. Is that normal to have loads of it come out instead of captured inside?


  8. I was told to make a new parcel shelf with mdf for the best sound but I'm lazy and I'm just going to cut the original one. I know jap cars are known for thin doors in the front so I'm just wondering if anyone else has done this and or can it be done? Cheers guys.

    Lol, it's quite easy to make a new one. Nice and solid for better sound, but only if you go for 6x9's or whatever on the rear shelf. You can also get acoustic carpet to cover them up, giving them that stealth look.
