Nice!! I've had the rears tinted and added auto mirror relay as well for the wing mirrors. Spent more on tools/cleaning so far!

Booked the car in at Lockwood & Greenwood on Saturday to fit a pair of Berk HFCs! Hopefully I'll notice a good difference sound wise from my current K2 exhaust and Y pipe I've got on the car. I'll get the car remapped in a few weeks time when I can head over to RS Tuning in Leeds. Already at 295bhp having been UpRev'd, getting closer to 300bhp with the Berks hopefully!
Don't think there's anything else, performance wise, with an 06 airbox, plenum spacer, UpRev, HFCs, exhaust and Y pipe is there anything else that's worthwhile doing?
Next it'll be on to changing the looks, already got colours, wheels, bumpers and skirts in mind, time to get saving those pennies! But before that, a new headunit is next on the list!

So you get 3 laps for £99? Christ that's expensive, and thats with an 81% discount?!
-
Play.com has them for £220 I think as well

I can't as well, need to wait around in town to pick a mate up for Silverstone tomorrow, maybe next time!

I posted this in another thread but I've copied/pasted it here
Solar Guard Tinting

Whilst I was there the guy who I guess owns/runs the place mentioned they have a sister company that does vinyl wrapping. He mentioned £140 a panel and I think he said they can do clear wraps as I was asking about getting my roof wrapped as well as rear window tinted. If you email SGT you'll probably speak to a guy called Duncan, I think he acts as a 3rd party between client and business so you might have to ask him for this sister company. They took around an hour to fit my rear side windows with a limo black tint, decent job so I'll probably be going back for the rear window which was quoted at £50.

Ashley quoted me £1600 for a full wrap including door shuts and handles. This included £350 to get someone in to remove parts of the car so they could get in to warap it properly. They're literally a wrapping business so needing access to other areas costs a bit extra.
Elite Films
These guys are over in the Wirral, they do specify protection wrapping on their website. They quoted me £1200 including door shuts and inside the boot for a full wrap so I guess a clear wrap on the front end won't cost much.

They have a few places round the country but nearest is Manchester. Their work looks good looking on their website and they quoted me £1860 for a full wrap including door shuts etc.

I could get on, then I couldn't for 15 minutes but now it's fine. Was at the same time as above. Safari OSX

Try having a Manchester post code, you might as well phone up with your trousers round your ankles
-
I'm also tempted by this! My door handles are bit marked but they should be easy to do, centre console looks like it could cause trouble!
-
Slick!
-
Couldn't get on the site this morning to sort out my team for today, think they had a massive overload on the servers! Looks like the first week will be whatever I initially selected a week or so ago!
-
Finally got round to installing the new unit and works perfectly! Typical me managed to get the only one made that got damaged in the post! It's rained every weekend for weeks but took about 15 minutes to install this morning.
Works a treat, thanks Cook!
-
But you can sell the BT unit for a tidy amount!

What the HELL is that plasti dip stuff?
Looks ACE... Might risk a couple of cans doing my alloys!
haha it's all sorts of crazy awesome! Look on YouTube for all the things people have sprayed. Think I'm gonna get clear coat for winter on my wheels!
-
You could Plastidip it!
-
I'll take a set then
Any news on those Berks?
-
Any photos of the black ones?

You'll have to do a quick review on the head unit, I'm still deciding which buttonless touchscreen head unit to go for. Has to be very responsive though as I'm picky, as well as needing a UI that wasn't designed in the 80s.

I managed to find somewhere in Manchester that did my side rears for £30 and will do the rear for £50, so £80 for the rear 3 ain't bad! So far the two rears are perfect so I'll be going back in the future!
What's the rear like at night? I've got limo black on the sides but didn't want to get it on the back as I've heard visibility is greatly reduced.
-
Gonna be fun driving into Manchester tomorrow morning, wonder how many of the roads will be littered with @*!# trying to wreck my car
-
Might have been posted in here already but this has to be the most disgraceful thing I've seen during these riots, I hope they get their legs broken.

So after looking around trying to find the perfect solution I thought I might as well build one myself! I saw someone on some 350z USA forums so thought it can't be that hard! I didn't want anything sticking on the windscreen or poking out from the side, wanted something that could be easily hidden yet look good.
MDF + Jigsaw + Elbow Grease + Felt =
It's not the best of photo's but I'll get some more tomorrow with the iPhone in it, it's hard to take a picture of an iPhone in a mount with said iPhone
The red ribbon is just in there for now so I can take it in and out when I want as it's not finished. Going to add a backing piece of MDF to it and wire through an iPhone cable from my new head-unit which I'm yet to install. It does mean that when I am out of the car I can take the head unit screen with me and put the lid down on the iPhone mount. Although I might take the cubby lid off and see what it looks like without it permanently.
So if all goes well this week and my iPhone doesn't fall out while I'm driving down the road, I'll have a nice setup in a few weeks!

Typical, just as I book the car in to get Berks fitted this weekend
How much are the stock cats worth anyway?
