  1. sadly not i'm having to go up to coventry to meet a supplier.
  2. i'm only 5'9" but the shaved head, beard, and the fact i look like shrek generally lead to very few arguments.
  3. like i said, either do me a dimensioned drawing, or make me a paper template, and i'll do it in the workshop. got bench mounted tools which make a job alot easier than using hand tools. or hand operated power tools.
  4. my car comes with a built in trim to protect against doors, it runns the length of the side. and guess where all the dents are... they are above this and on thw wings, and its pretty obvious its caused by kids flinging the door open at the back of a 4X4 or people carrier. where the door curves over their rear wheel at the back, its that higher bit that hits my lower car. i've always been known for my generosity, so if i've seen where someone has given me a ding, i like to return the favour sad thing is i fling a door alot better than a 7 year old my personal favourite was catching a guy doing it while i was sat in the car. flung his door open and dinged my door. i got out and asked him for £100 to pat for the dent to be pulled. he told me to sod off, and its only a sodding car and i should get over it. so i put the sole of my foot into his door. you should have seen his face. " what the sodding hell have you done etc etc etc, i can;t believe you sodding done that etc etc etc, are you sodding going to pay for that etc etc etc." my leaving comment " get over it, its only a sodding car" and drove off. i have to say i spent about 2 weeks expecting the cops to turn up and arrest me for criminal damage. and i'm still suprised they never did. but i think the guy learnt that in future to open his car door more carefully. here endeth the lesson
  5. best to treat cutting CF like working with acrylic sheet. it is after all a plastic at heart. the fibres just tie the resin together. if your going to drill it i'd be using a stepped drill bit, or if the hole needs to be big, work up from a small drill bit. cutting shouldn't be too bad, if you have acess to things like a bandsaw etc will cut it just fine. if you wanted to send it to me with a drawing of what you want cutting i can do it on the scroll saws or trim it with the kit i have a work. you can do it with a dremmel but you'll struggle to get a clean edge.
  6. I don't disagree that the bays are tight, but with a bit of courtesy you can get in and out of them fine. coupes and other 3 door cars find it harder as the door is longer and this makes getting out harder.
  7. its the closest resemblance only kidding it would come under the dark red section

    Engine oil

    same stuff, silkolene became titan, they rebranded, silkolene is old stock, titan is new stock
  9. thank god someone has a brain
  10. if you struggle to park a zed in a parking space maybe you need something a little smaller like a little ford KA they fit in the spaces better. christ on a bike, if i can get my XKR in those parking spaces and its a damn site wider than the Zed, then theres no excuse. i just park further away. i have a few door dings in mine from when someone else owned it. all of you who park across 2 spaces do deserve to be on PLAC it pi$$es me off when i get into a busy carpark, and there is no spaces but some ***** has parked across 2. been tempted to get out with a breaker bar and put some proper dings in the side for them. parking across 2 spaces surely encourages more damage to a car. every thinks your a muppet and your more likely to get keyed for it.
  11. Looks like he doesn't cover the jaguar paint chart, Anthracite pearl doesn't really come in on this, but i suppose its closest to black
  12. family parking spaces after 9pm (kids should be in bed by then) by all means but double parking or disabled bays when your not disabled deserves at a minimum of appear on here http://youparklikea****.com/ if i was with mates and i saw a double parked cars i'd get 2 cars to park within an inch of each side and watch with humour as the owner tried to get back into their car.
  13. they are designed to cover the mounting holes on the boot, others have fitted them i think to rear struts so from memory i would say they should cover the recess on the strut bar. as for the lettering on the back, leave it clean. just a nice zed badge in the middle. like above. and leave all the other stuff off.
  14. all 3 are good choices. would say vreds are at the lower end of the choice specrtrum you have put up. don't know the MPSS but if they are anything like the MPS2 then they are very good. vreds are being phased out so stock is hard to get.
  15. likwid art Zed badge on the rear; that is all probably the black one have a silver one laying around at home at the mo.
  16. pearlesant white is a lovely finish, i bet you get some nice pinks and purples shine in the gloss when the sun comes out
  17. if it were cornwall southcoast i could help, sadly not there though
  18. you can jag it and still stick around on here; i do. love the jag forum, but progress and banter is slow, but wealth of knowledge is invaluable on there. so i have best of both worlds.
  19. well they were lovingly restored by me as a favour for the big dog, can;t believe how cheap these went, someone must be well chuffed with the bargain they picked up.
  20. some tasty colours there husky, food for thought. still like the purple.
  21. looking really good Stacey, is that a pearlesant white? looks very tasty should have those B pillars to you by the end of the week.
  22. alright i think that might be the one looks good
  23. i had the pleasure of my wife using the new ios6 or what ever navigation, she wanted to show me how good it was, the screen looked nice the instructions clear; minor flaw... it navigated us to the wrong place, about 1 mile out from where it should have been. had to pull over and programme up the google nav on my htc, which then took us to the door of the wedding venue. nice one apple thank god for google
  24. the chrome is going in as well, the spark covers i think are going to be polished, as are the CC pipe feed. the strut tops and the intake pipe, as well as the oil dipstick and the oil filler.
