My **** is boiled on your behalf had an old boy reverse into my daily recently, nothing serious, literally a bump, but enough to gouge my bumper, the first words he said were, thats the 2nd time I have done that today. After him rejecting my first two quotes as too expensive and me being incredibly patient I am still waiting for a token amount towards repair which I know I am not going to see and its not worth an insurance battle. I am pleased to own an automatic centre punch at times like this.
This came on the car so judging by receipts and build mileage i estimate this to have done no more than 1500 miles, to include one track day myself. The friction plates are 4mm new, these have best part of 3.5mm, barely run in.
I am not putting it to proper use, street/occasional track and would suit a forged build pushing big hp (rated at 600hp plus) numbers or track car, it is not that social on the street, its not on/off like some as it is dampened but does take a little getting used to.
Everything is there to fit including specific thrust bearing, also in very good condition.
Expect these to cost anywhere between £1500 - £2000 if you can actually get them over here.
The kind gents at the Zed shed removed this and sure Chris/Bob would be happy to confirm its condition.

Cant resist a jet ski or two, this was my last pair, one for free riding/wave jumping and one for social (passengers)
The orange/black was supercharged and 250hp, good for knocking on the door or 70mph and the white/black was good for, well photo below.
Have zero interest in drag racing, have 100% interest in stupid hp motors.
Fastest gtr in the world, quite a title to own so fully appreciate his efforts
Mileage is no guarantee of safety, buy on condition not miles. So long as its average mileage i personally wouldnt worry, after having 2, the first one at 56k miles and 2nd at 75k, the second is a better car to drive.
I remember seeing some great data presumably from an app on here, but for the life of me cant remember who, any recommendations for a comprehensive app?
^^^ informative adds are the key on ebay imho, basically give no one a reason to ask questions, make sure every bit of info is there, then you can pretty much ignore any further daft questions and expect low baller offers, just dont reply.
You would probably be better off finding a gm bootlid, dont like chances of them straightening that out, looks pretty twisted. You might find also find there is no need to spray the replacement if its a good match. Its only 4 bolts and two electrical connectors to swap.
After a year of trying to sell one of those jp sports visage front bumpers with no joy mine has just gone to the tip, if only I knew, he might have wanted a spare, in gm too
When I sold my first one last year I thought my best chance was on the forum, barring Mattross serious enquiry all I got was people making low offers, after a month or two I put it on ebay expecting low ball offers (which I still got) but it sold for a grand more than I had advertised for on here. Ebay is definitely not without its headaches, but the target audience is massive.
Well its been a long winter and other commitments have taken president, but progress is being made. My wrap is almost complete so photos to follow next week.
In the meantime and ready for the wrap i had a little delivery from Tarmc Sportz today, loaded in the van and straight to the spray shop for a colour change.
Not so much a fix but when me and my mates had our first cars, car audio was very expensive, the only thing we had was ghettoblasters with detachable speakers, so ghettoblaster in the boot (they were big), wires round the pillars and house speakers on the rear shelf
Everywhere, ebay, ph, forum, gumtree, driftworks, autotrader....to be honest if i am in the market for a car, i dont just look at one place, i look everywhere so i personally dont think it really matters
