  1. Yep ill av it too. PM payment details please!
  2. I did a full dry fit on mine and used a strong gaffer tape to hold it in place whilst i marked the holes for securing it. There were a few places that were slightly off so i used some flat fiberglass sheet on the outerside to get the angle right and once dried a marker to mark out the lines. then after removing re-inforced that and filled and smoothed. One of the side skirts i had to heat at the leading end using a paint stripper heat gun to lay flat so i could secure it too. but in fairness it was only on the rear bumper where it meets the arch that it was out and i was pleasantly pleased with the fit. the process took me 3 days in total before i was happy. may be not a lot of help but thats how i found it!
  3. to the forum and the help, advice and banter you'll receive you won't find anywhere else!
  4. I had all mine done last Aug at Xpresstints at Shipley nr bradford/leeds at a cost of £235 The best thin is to have the rear and both quarters black as that isnt a problem at all and your pass and drivers is down to varying options and as someone has already pointed out the legal level is 75% and is hardly noticable. the next tint down is a fine if stopped n questioned of up to £60. Any further shade darker is points on your licence. I opted for the fine shade as i think its worth the risk and to this date i have had no problems including been stopped and it not even been mentioned. Here are my side tints and this is one shade darker than legal and a fine if a cop has had a bad day.So a risk you take.
  5. Thats the one i bought n in the dry fit pics on my car. its an excellent fit with no mods re fitting and came in the grey primer. Though it needed flattening before re-spray. You got yours fitted yet Jed? I've got mine in the shed and keep putting it against the car to decide if I should fit it or not! Car still down at body shop been fitted n sprayed. but its getting fitted!

  20. as per my other thread, ive changed the bonnet today and since doing that and i had to also re-route the battery pos terminal cos one of the vents was catching it. When i now set the alarm it goes off after a few seconds/ now, is this because the bonnet isnt fastened/locked down or have i done something by undoing the + terminal? help appreciated n thanx!
