Jack P Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 complaining about the plastic on your window, i'd be more annoyed at the plastic body panels! Quote
Russleh Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 wonder what would happen if you went to halfords with a megane because they offer a bulb fitting service dont they. Quote
Sparky Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 lol they wouldnt have a clue ^^My mate has a Lupo GTI, ironically he head a Glanza before it. But yea the Lupo needed a bulb (Projector HID's) and wait for it, they bulb was £280 + £80 labour!!!!And it blew the same night!! He rang them and they said he needed a new plastic cover on the back which was another £90!!! Oh plus he needed an new bulb and fitting again!!And guess what, I am pretty sure its gone again!!! Quote
