  1. Ordered mine this morning 128gb iphone 6 (6plus is pointless for me due to iPad mini)☺ï¸.... Surprisingly cheap upgrade fee as well. Needless to say I'm staying in the cool gang for another 2 years. As regards to other makes I always found apples metal and glass feel so much better than cheap plastic
  2. Apple doing what Apple do best..... Taking something that's pretty dull and making it possibly the most desirable thing on the planet..... As for the left handed thing surly you'd be able to rotate the screen so it works on the other hand
  3. Bonnet lifters defo on the list...... But I kind of like the rad cap because it's mostly in japanease.
  4. Since getting my polished plenum and bonnet catch I've been a little obsessed with my engine bay. Buying all sorts of things to clean it as well as some proper tools to take things apart. Bought a spare engine cover from humpy and popped down to see my mates at the local friendly hydro dippers AquaGraphix. Now I've had my interior dipped with gold carbon and I absolutly love it and I could of gone this route with the engine but I wanted something just a little different for the bay. I chose a brushed aluminium pattern on top of a deep red finished off with a slight shimmer of pearl. I've got to say it looks superb in the flesh I was so impressed with it I enquired about having some more parts done in it. Also as luck would have it they also needed some new flooring for their new premises. So a deal was struck and a few more parts were taken out of the zed and sent on their merry way. I also bought a red engine bold kit from Tarmac, some conduit and a samco sports intake hose. The bolt kit looks awesome apart from I was missing one of the larger washers (also noticed one or two have started to rust) but hey they were £35 After spending all day fiddling around with plastic the conduit/tie wraps/tape..... The wife came out and said "that looks sh!t" ..... And I had to agree with her...... So I took it all back off Finally I haven't put the samco in because I think I prefer the black one, so that will be up for sale soon. Oh and I sprayed the strut brace black Anyway Before After Thanks for looking
  5. I can fully see your point now.... Why don't you put it up for sale at a ridiculous price and see what happens?
  6. 100% keep it and keep it in storage as you've done. The value of that car will only increase in time. Think of it as your nest egg rather than a car
  7. That's the answer then.... Fair play it made hell of a mess on the wife's car.
  8. Tbh I thought the mitt was crap but there is a good write up on here somewhere about what a good job it done when used with the right products. Not drying the car might have had something to do with it also.
  9. Don't use dodo juice qd.... It took all the clay off the MIT and smeared over the wife's bonnet
  10. The situation that your in sucks.... But in truth if they can't afford your rent then there's no chance of getting your money back. Just don't get worked up about it and try not to take it personally. My father was in your situation 18 months ago and he got so worked up about it I'm pretty the stress contributed to his death.... All over a poxy £1500...... These days I help my mother run her 10 houses. Most of the tennents are good but theres always a problem lol
  11. 3) I'm paying you rent so you will be at my beck and call whenever I want you. The type that phones you up at 11pm because a lightbulb has blown!!!

    Shiney intake hose

    Yep they look lovelly. I'm waiting for some bits to come back before I decide. I'm also thinking about a samco one
  13. I think Detailing world is a brilliant forum also, especially if you contract zeditus. WARNING NOTE: if you do go on there prepare yourself for a whole new world of washing your car.

    Shiney intake hose

    Im well underway some work on the engine bay and I'm looking for a nice shiney intake hose to go with my stillen cone filter, but not too sure where to look for it. Any suggestions would be greatful. I've seen that samco do one but I think I'd prefer a polished one to go with my polished plenum. I'm also thinking about the throttle body but I'm @*!# scared of touching that lol
  15. The wife's got a 56 plate 2.5 touareg and she loves it. But it's heavy on the juice and eats tyres for breakfast. However the amount of kit you get for your money is so much more than the x5. I paid 10k for a 56 plate with 60k on it 2 years ago and it's got all the toys on it including tvs in the headrests and a playstation 2. Couldn't even find a 54 plate X5 for that at the time. Best of all it's lovelly to drive and probably the best car I've ever driven in the snow.
  16. I do.... You'll not get much change from £350 for a 2 day paint correction. Brilliant work tho
  17. I love alphas.... Ever since my 155. Some of the best looking cars out there. If the Brera had a better engine I'd probably be driving one of those. (And it would probably cost me less money than the zed)
  18. Not that far but probably a little more than most
  19. Looks awesome. Do you mind me asking how much the wrap cost? Love the bmw wheels AND badges btwðŸ‘
  20. Here's a good example for you all. My brother spent £150 on having his diesel Nissan van "chipped". The guy was there 30mins (mobile service with a laptop) and said it was now 30bhp better off once he had finished it (no proof). Yep it was faster and he was pretty pleased. That was a year ago, now his van is still as fast but the shear amount of black crap that comes out the exhaust is unbelievable. Plus hes had problems with the injectors and his mpg is aweful. Now for £225 (group buy ðŸ˜) extra I had a very experienced engineer that's very experienced with a zed personally tune my car while on a rolling road and take time to explain every detail of what's been done to it. And the more I drive it the happier I'm with his work. Moral of the story "you kind of like get what you pay for"
  21. One of the best value mods I've done so far. Top job!!
