addario

Many thanks for all the replies! I'm getting the whole screen replaced tomorrow so fingers crossed should be good as new!

It's not a bonded screen then?

Gents (and ladies), So I'm driving today and there are 20 MPH signs for loose gravel and the dude in front of me nails it and bang, there goes the windscreen I'm super meticulous about the car and I can't bare to live with that chip right bang in the middle of the screen so it has to go somehow... And that's the question for you guys... Should I get it fixed or replaced? It's only a small chip but it would do my head in if the "fix" was still visible afterwards so I'm leaning towards the replacement. Would replacing the screen affect the car value negatively? I'm pretty sure AutoGlass will use a third party part so god knows if the fit will be perfect... not to mention the actual competency of the person doing the work... nightmare to think this might end up a botch job Anyways? What do you guys think? Fix (and surely have a mark where it was) or replace and risk more of a mess? Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks chaps! I'm going to start getting a few quotes

Hi there! My front bumper is in some serious need of a re-spray but I have never used a body shop before so just wondering if any of you guys would have recommendations for where to go to get a proper job!? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Many thanks for all that replied, it looks like I'll be able to get some of the parts used from Clark Motorsports!

@veeg33 Yep, sounds like the second option is the way to go! I'll check with them! @veilside z Where? Can't seem to find it.. the search functionality is not exactly "google" dare I say

Apparently it's pretty much rusted through from the Y pipe down @350 Russ Sorry but I think it's just my ignorance speaking, I don't mean the manifolds! I've taken it to the garage because the rust was so bad that the connection between the middle section and the box just split apart at the flange and from just me looking around it did look corroded to oblivion

Hi there! Just got a call back from the garage and the day I was dreading has finally come, my exhaust is a gonner and I'll need to replace the whole lot, downpipes, middle section and back box My wallet is crying in anticipation! So... any traders around that could give a quote for a full system to fit my '03 model? I need the full sha-bang, from the downpipes to the tailbox (minus the cats I think, good question... I'm not sure If I need to replace those but I hope not!). What do you guys suggest? I want to keep spending to a minimum really, currently broke so this is not the best timing for this. Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks for your reply! I "currently" don't know what I'm doing, you are quite right! But I'll be educating myself before I have a stab at it and I think we can agree this is not rocket science, it's doing / undoing a few bolts, making sure a few surfaces are perfectly matched etc... Anyways... Any chance in getting a few quid by selling the OEM discs?

Hi there guys! This is going to be my very first attempt at doing anything to a car that's more than feeling up the tank! The 350 is the 1st proper car I've owned and I've always been mechanically minded but never applied it to my previous vehicles. Now that I decided to take on most of the work with this car upon myself I'll start by replacing the rotors and the pads. I've got two questions for you guys: 1. I haven't got a socket set at the moment so this will be the time to buy one. Which sizes will I need to replace the rotors? Taking into account taking out the wheel, taking out the calipers etc? 2. Is there any value in my used OEM rotors? They are in pretty good nick to be honest, the car has only done 22K miles from new. The only reason I'm replacing them is... well... I just want to get something new I suppose Any feedback will be greatly appreciated! Cheers!!!

Yes! We made it! I can't stress enough how helpful you guys were! Many, many thanks! I've tried attaching the image but it does not like my phone's browser! http://i.imgur.com/cJ6xF5c.jpg

Great! That's me off then! I'll post some photos from the Applecross road if I manage to get there! Thank you guys so much for the help! It's truly appreciated!

Hmmm... The million dollar question is will I make things worse by driving all the way from Aberdeen to Skye with the current fault code showing? Would you guys go for it?

It's an original, unmodified 2003/GT car. It has whatever came on it Sorry for not being exactly knowledgable on this... It's my 1st proper car and I only had it for a few months now.
