  1. I`m looking at getting my front bumper resprayed and went to P&M autobodies, they are on buckshaw village.. The guy I spoke to seemed to know his stuff and they had some nice cars in there. Apparantly they do work for Chorley Nissan as well.

     

    He quoted £250-ish for a respray of the bumper and said that would be removing it, stripping it back..filling all the stone chips etc and repaint.

     

    Not the cheapest but I would expect a good job

  3. Did I see you tonight roper, mini roundabout in Leyland I was heading up towards Tesco.

     

    Possibly mate, I have now seen 2 gunmental grey and one other sunset in leyland so it seems they are all over the place around here!

     

    What colour is your car?

     

    Also I might pop along to the preston meet for a laugh :)

  4. I did both arm rests this weekend, took them both out and sanded them down and then painted with Black Halfords Vinyl Paint. The colour match is a bit off but they look a lot better than they did before.

     

    I found the Halford's Matt black to be as close to OEM finish as you could wish for. I used their black vinyl first but thought it was way too shiny.

    Is the matt black a vinyl paint? I couldnt see any other flexible paint choices so went with that but as you said its far to glossy

  5. Shes fixed! :)

     

    It was indeed the lower rear arm (spring cup) that was causing the toe out, and it looks like the bushing for this arm in the hub carrier is fine. Just needs a good alignment now but my steering wheel is straight again!

     

    Thanks to Alex for putting up with my inane questions and getting parts out to me quickly (great service!) and also GoodAtCrashing for pointing me in the right direction.

     

    SeaBee, I would deffo look at getting your spring cup arm(s) replaced as any damage is impossible to see by the naked eye, and was only evident after measuring. :thumbs:

  6. Did a bit more digging around today and manged to get it in the air to have a look with the wheels off.

     

    I think you might be onto something GoodAtCrashing... My two rear lower arms are different lengths, I have measured both sides from A to B and the side with the issue seems to be about a centimeter shorter!! :o

    I measured this a number of times as 1 centimeter seems huge and its not obvious to the eye.

     

    Replacing this next and then will take it from there.
