  1. As has been said, splitting is quite easy, but take your time, the painting is just painting, piece of ****, however getting them back together with no leaks is the problem. The main issue being that you won't know if you've succeeded until it's back on the car and a few weeks later it starts collecting water. Looks awesome, though
  2. Hmmm, love the idea of slapping some alcantara on there, however, I think you did the wrong parts I think the steering wheel should have been done and left the airbag alone and also think the centre console should have been left and the rest of the dash done instead. Not a fan of hiding the silver strut cover either, sorry mate.

  4. Wasn't there someone on here with access to colour coded grommets?
  5. I'm sorry about your sister, I really am, but this is how ALS was 3 months ago, no one had heard of it. We in the UK know of it as motor neuron disease but even then, no one knows of any charity for it. Hopefully in the near future a charity for Wolfram can come up with some marketing genius like this and raise some serious dough Your other point about the 7% going to research, I think this is more about having overheads. If your over heads are $83,000 a year, then if you pull in $100,000 then you've only got 7% going to research, but if you make $1,000,000 then you've got the same overheads but 92% going into research
  6. See this is my issue with 'charity' there is a fine line between doing good anonomously or making a big show & dance and saying look at me and what I am doing for charity. A lot of 'celebrities' do some great work without being in the public eye, some others do some great public work with a charity sideline... Then if anyone questions it the 'look at the starving children' or 'sufferers' quote is brought out and people are shamed... it's a fine line that's all I am saying. As for raising awareness, I admit I have watched many many hilarious ice bucket videos, but only one has mentioned charity and that was Charlie Sheen's bucket of money one. Every other one is just 'this is my challenge, I nominate a,b & c..... Ahhhhhhhhh 'look at me' how is that raising awareness of anything But celebrities are a tiny part of all this, if 100 of them have done it, 100,000 of us mere mortals have done it. This is 100 times better than those stupid adverts on tv (which cost a fortune) that everyone ignores because they are bored with the starving kids thing. Everyone knows its happening and if you've not donated by now you're not likely too. This is a new fresh idea and not only that, it's free, it's fun and every time someone see's one of these hilarious videos, they know it's for ALS. To criticise this whole craze at the moment is pathetic, if it works, it's worth it The only think worth critising is MacMillan jumping on the bandwagon and taking (read stealing) money from the ALS research.
  7. Manifolds are pretty much the only thing hard to access, but it's a VQ, they don't need worked on lol
  8. You're missing the point! If there was no challenge, you could knock 2 zero's off what the charity will make this year. Some people may see it as stupid and those who have partaken in the challenge as needing erased from the gene pool or however you wish to put it. But, all these videos are giving more exposure than any adverts ever could. I'm willing to bet that 99+% of the developed world have now heard of this ALS charity. If you don't want to donate or don't want to throw some water over your head, then thats fine, but whether you like it or not, it's marketing genius and it's bagging ALS research more money than they ever dreamed of. If this charity developed something to help these poor suffering people even the tiniest bit, then all this will be worth it.
  9. Dave version actually looks better than your car would if you were to do what you're suggesting Silver is too tacky, black looks more subtle and therefore less cockish lol
  10. I agree that the rear of the '50 is better than the '70
  11. This! Tbo I haven't really looked at the 370z, are they much better than their older brother? Better built, yes. Better engine, yes. Better styling, questionable. Better drive, matter of preference. Better noise, both need aftermarket zorsts.
  12. And he's worried about depreciation, a £20k 370 will probably lose up to £8k in the next 3-4 years.
  13. Don't worry about the tax, it's only £200 a year, £4 a week. I upgraded my 04's lights all round to the facelift and that cost me 5 years worth of the tax difference. Buying an HR now is a frigging bargain and I suggest you jump in now while prices are pretty keen on them
  14. Interesting indeed, I like it Very creative and blends in the ends of the step perfectly
  15. No question the Zed has to go if you have those possible options. As you say, worst case scenario is once you're sorted you buy another Zed and knowing what you know now about Zeds you may end up with a better one, best case is a GTR or Lambo, it's a win-win-win situation
  16. Get us a nice full side on view and maybe 1/4 views when it dries up and you can get a space Looks interesting, though…
  17. P.S. I know you're called Dean, but you know what I mean
  18. You might want to add what year the car is, I know it has an 04 plate, but that means nothing as you might be called Cal

    I think it's more to do with the reception in your area. Did you buy the car with the stubby? What was reception like when you had the fishing rod?
