  1. Prefer this one, definitely got me interested in watching Palace this year
  2. I'm Zedless until Friday too, first time being apart Although its for a good cause!
  3. Ah, yeah nice bunch down there. Some lovely garage near me managed to put one of the front shocks on back to front so the hose clip was knocking on something. They solved that for me but now I've got another bloody noise, have to go back next week. Best place round NW though by far.
  4. Nice find, I had the non anti-theft ones and lost 1 and the other 3 got nicked when I went back to my parents house in Liverpool
  5. Looks tidy, make sure you get a decent stubby
  6. Changing topic? There's no such thing as having on topic on here, the title is just an advisory point to start from No front numberplate is a dream! I'd love to have a nice clean front instead of whopping big white plate.
  7. Extras?! Oh aye! Apparently these have already been taken by some lucky person my350z.com is a good place to look for wheel stance, hundreds of photos over the pond.
  8. If its a friend just say can he blend it in as the rest of the paint must have faded over time and you'll give him a bit of extra cash Blame the car not the painter and he probably won't have an issue with doing it for you!
  9. Was the whole car with the body shop hen it was painted or just the bumper? Azure is a difficult colour to match. If it doesn't match take it back and get them to sort it. Any decent body shop should be able to get a close as anything match.

    Arch rolling

    I was tempted to do mine but I found someone that did them for £60, if you can find someone at that price it's not worth the hassle of doing yourself! Try http://www.archenemy.co.uk/ or Google. It took me ages to find someone around Manchester that could do them. Are the spacers just on the rear or all round you've fitted?

    Goodies!!!

    Love the wheels, always want to go for something bright but depends on the colour(s) of the car, what colour's the car?

    Goodies!!!

    Where did you get the tow strap from?
  13. Were you there yesterday? Was another zed there when I took mine in in the morning.
  14. I can't stop looking at it once I start, crazy!
  15. I might have a full can of black in my garage. Will take a look when I go out later! Where about are you located though?
  16. Good luck with the search!
  17. Has anyone got photos of a gunmetal car with satin black lips/skirts/diffuser? Can't find any online that are satin/matte, only glossy. Would the satin lose the detail and just look like plastic on the bottom of the car? Obviously non-OEM front/rear/sides. I was going for gunmetal/satin black all over but in usual fashion I've changed my mind at the last minute. Wondering if people have tried using satin but decided it doesn't look right as with gloss you'll get reflections and be able to see the detail around the bottom of the car? Gunmetal with gloss black
  18. Typical, mine stopped working about 2 hours ago yet the missus' on the same network is fine
  19. I love the wheels but I want something with less spokes or thinner. I also want something lighter as in black you can't really see how nice they are. Refurbishing them is an option but at ~£200 I thought I'd see if there's any interest in selling them. Tarmac, they're 5x120 standard so they would fit. But I won't split the adapters from the rest as I won't have any use for them on their own.
  20. BMW E65 Wheels - 19x10 ET24 + PCD Adaptors Falken 452's all round - 235/35/19. The rears have been on the car for 8 weeks, probably around 500 miles usage. The fronts I will measure later tonight, should be quite a bit of tread left on them. The adaptors are 20mm front and 33mm rear, giving offsets of +4 and -9. You will either need have your arches rolled or be running at a ride height of -14mm at the most. My Eibach springs caused rubbing but once I had my arches rolled I didn't have a problem. They come with PCD adaptors to fit 5 x 114.3. They're in good condition overall, standard marks from tyre fitters. I've added some photos of them in their normal state, and some in the matte black Plastidip that I currently have them in. I will look over them tomorrow for any noticeable damage, if I find any I will knock £50 off per wheel. In their current state on my car: Will only sell them as all 4 alloys, with tyres and PCD adaptors. £1100 delivered.
  21. I've had a few PM's about these so thought I'd give them their own thread. Eibach Springs that will drop the car 30mm. I changed to Tein springs as I didn't want to risk my new front end on a 30mm drop as I know it's lower than the OEM front bumper. They come with the required rubber mounts. They are stuck to the springs themselves and save you the hassle of having to buy the mounts yourself. I had to buy new mounts from ZMANALEX at a price of £47, so I'm including these ones for £15. They'll come in the Tein box, all wrapped up nicely in plastic £215 delivered including the rubber mounts.
  22. Have emailed asking if any are 16mm thread, hope so!
  23. My giffgaff is still working *touches wood*
  24. Loads of photos of a member with them - viewtopic.php?f=11&t=50994 Look nice!
  25. Open the drivers side door and there should be a sticker beneath the door lock on the door frame. Think that states what wheel size and tyre size the car came with.
