  1. Had an Asda van hit our Focus, damage to wing and bonnet and it was a write off, doesn't take much nowadays but the process was really quick dealing direct with their insurers. We also got a great first offer as well. That looked like one hell of an impact as well, were you parked on the kerb overnight as it looks like your tyres are up on the kerb or were you shunted up there.

  3. It is quite an easy mod whilst the dash is out so worth considering, just means you sacrifice two blowers for your new air system! Think they are something like 4inch speakers that go in there, pretty sure there is a mod guide on the forum for doing it. Otherwise its a doddle to fit new ones behind the seats, stubby screwdriver and its a 10 minute job switching them over to something a bit more meaty. Have you taken the dash fascia off yet? the long rectangular part? Its only taped on so easy to remove and the shape makes it easy to spray/wrap/dip etc to suit the colour of the car and really brightens up the interior. I went for a red carbon dip on mine
  4. You done well there they were the proverbial rocking horses teeth covered in gold dust Actually if you cared for the choons in the car, people whilst the dash is out often put some small speakers behind the outer most circular dash vents. Although suspect you would not want to add the weight...!
  5. Somewhat unsurprisingly they don't seem to offer that? http://www.knightracer.com/service.htm
  6. Good work getting the fezz unit, not many kicking around at the moment, or did he start making them again?
  7. Nooooooo - still some nice evenings this week! When I bought mine it was 32 degrees that day and I drove it from Cheltenham to London leaving Cheltenham at 8:30pm getting back around 11pm in London...the whole way with the roof down, it was a divine driving experience.
  8. Could well have been, it was a joke though, Taras lined up the part against the car and it was so short it was laughable. Who would copy that then look at the finished product and think 'yeah that works great lets sell em'
  9. Yes its this, its cheap for RB, but why would you put it on a track car? I would pay half that for a common kit that will get battered. And it will require probably £x worth of fitting/fabrication cost on top of the £1000. Sometimes stuff just doesn't fit at all, when RTP were doing something on my car they showed me some side skirts a member had bought and they were around an inch too short, absolutely no fitting expertise can sort that out really!
  10. Thats it really, cheap and cheerful - don't expect it to line up with other body parts, get what you pay for really.
  11. I believe there is a link back to a certain character called Rik from the 350z long and distant past... I have heard more than enough stories of people buying from them and finding poor fitting only then to have lots of trouble getting refunds etc.

    Got hold of some high temperature matt black paint and painted the turbo heatshield which needed some TLC. I also ordered some M1 Gtechniq metal polish, it is safe on chrome as well as many other metals and cleaned up the strut braces, they came up great! Never using Autosol again ...and it was lovely and warm, so waited for the sun to pass behind the house so could clean the car in the shade
  13. You must have had some fun over the weekend...roof off action?!

    Good work fella. I am sure as people have mentioned it won't last as long as a £1k bit of kit but for a dual exit exhaust for under £500 new that fits you cannot complain!
  15. I stuck some vinyl wrap on them, went for black as my Zed was black, worked a treat and took all of 5 minutes.
  16. How did you correct the headlights?
  17. Looks like it was actually the air force, with some armoured units. Bizarre that they felt there was something to be gained with such little support.
  18. Such a shame, went to Antalya for our honeymoon and still rate it as one of the best destinations ever. World is slowly destroying itself with stupidity and ignorance.
  19. Absolutely brilliant! 10 bids!
  20. Shocking to see this morning, equally bizarre to open the BBC app on my phone and find a member of the public caught up in it all speaking to the BBC about it, its a friend of mine from when I lived in France! Had to drop him a message straight after. Sick though, clearly no place for religion in something like that, no god or imaginary being or whatever would want that.
  21. Boris as foreign secretary? I really truly believe this country is going mad. I don't care if you are blue, red, yellow or any other affiliate of politics - this last month or so has been an utter shambles and laughing stock of the world. Even the world press has stopped ribbing Trump because there is much more hilarity in the UK right now.
  22. I would tend to challenge the assumption on the England job, a few managers have gladly turned it down in the past! FA will never offer a 1 year contract, makes no sense given the tournament nature of the job. Del Bosque and Pelligrini kicking around. I just don't want to see the FA make another manager choice 'because they are english' - McLaren got the job on that premise and was truly awful.
  23. They usually get contracts that cover tournaments, so it wont be a 1 year contract when he has a nice juicy contract at Sunderland he would have to give up. I think the FA are missing a trick and going down the exact same route as the Hodgson appointment. So many very good foreign managers out there that would be more likely to succeed than people like Sam.
  24. Problem is that SA will get a 3 year contract on £5m a year and to get shot of him costs the FA £10m this time next year. As a West Ham fan Sam can 'do a job' but he is really not the dynamic manager the country needs right now, more of the same really compared to Hodgson I would think. Expect organisation in defence but a dull reliance on defensive players and name players. He never really had a plan b when at West Ham when we went down against a team, we usually would go on to lose.
