  1. new bumper gets rid of the reflectors, and no regs to meet
  2. those were dan soulby's old moulds, the carbon plenum that never materialised
  3. I have no kids so its difficult to comment on this, i'd like to think if she was unharmed; I would show enough restraint that there was enough of the person left to go through the justice system. I have a feeling though that if I did find them, the police would be taking me in as well. but as no one knows how they'll react in a situation, its difficult to comment. for all I know I could end up frozen to the spot.
  4. there is a set of jewel lights on ebay at the mo for £180; will have a think, its more than I want to ay for them. but they don't come up that often
  5. it makes small children cry, and not in a good way
  6. see I wanted to like the quad lights, and a little of me does, but I needed some input from others the jewel lights are half the price. think you might be right. for now i'll get the rear on and judge it against the current lights
  7. do it. I double rubber black bondage dare you!
  8. Going to try and do this with lots of pictures to help, but the reason I started this post is the rear of my XKR fell off the bumper had been on a wing and a prayer for the last 18 months, but I finally gave out. so its brought forward a few jobs, one of those is treating the rust at the back and sides. so this is what my cars rear looked like to start with but then the bumper fell off and it now looks like this I have since removed the mount posts so it looks a little more streamline, but yes I am sporting the first ever rat look jag. now as part of the de rusting due to cost of work i'm limited on options returning it to stock will be too expensive as it would require 2 new rear quarters a lot of dismantling and welding and a lot of cash. so to bypass that. I have this bumper coming with a carbon rear diffuser, this is taken straight from an aston and built to fit the XKR (the diffuser not the bumper) I know ekona hates it, but I really like the rear and its going to solve all my rust issues. so my question is; and the reason for the long winded post is that as i'm updating the rear I was contemplating updating the old lights. I don't think the 06 jewel lights are enough of an improvement so I was thinking of getting a set of quad rear lights like this ignore the horrible bumper its mounted above, what are peoples thoughts? are quad lights on an XKR going to make it look stupid? do you think they will go with my new rear? at the same time the car is going to have the huge rear aerial removed and smoothed over and new round 4" rear tail pipes to poke out the back
  9. i never new that, makes sense noe
  10. god I can't stand twatter, but I have linked my FB with a twitter account so when I post on one it updates the other.
  11. you can call me mr biscuit if it mkes you feel better, in my day job I get called sir. if it helps you can check out my business fb psge, just search for rtcustomz on there and look out for my avatar on the left.
  12. but the difference between the 2 is no mpre that say 5-8 bhp, which you'd never feel the difference. it is only beneficial for overall pub BHP bragging rights. if your desperate for squeezing every inch out of the dyno figure at the end then get the art pipes as they'll be your best option for reduced rasp. but with the restrictions and tightening of MOT regs i'd be more inclined for the hi flows.
  13. that's not s bad price at all
  14. still reckon hi flows are a better option
  15. i's choose hi flows over decats any day, so much so I had a set custom built for my XKR
  16. expensive, not sure they eliminate all rasp as I never fitted them, but worth researching into
  17. you'll find a new rear box will add more tone. lower down the octave range, and more of a burble. it won't remove the rasp, and it won't hide it under high RPM, but it will make a nicer noise. the only decat setup that won't rasp is the motordyne art pipes as they have funny dildos on them that tune the rasp out.
  18. I don't blog for my business, but I do run a company facebook page. I can add text if I want to, but I generally just add photo updates of new stuff. I find a picture says a 1000 words, and people who are linked to it don't mind browsing a photo. but generally get annoyed with long text. people have short attention spans.
  19. I always think of you as the mums.net renegade; you want hardcore enough for their views so you splintered away to here. our gain their loss.
  20. greddy = nice subtle lip
  21. blogging is the ability to spout random crap on a regular basis. your a woman so you're already half way there. and by the posting on here I'd say you have the other 50% nailed already. just before anyone gets upset, this was said very tongue in cheek, and I enjoy your mums.net posts. as you can se ipost on most of them
  22. f it makes you feel better the od m3 witht e straight 6 had a raspy note and some people think it sounds sporty and racey.
  23. exhaust will bed in as it cokes up, tone will deepen, the rasp might subside a bit more, need about 300 miles at least to get a better idea.
