  1. hope its the euro, and that it plummets by the summer
  2. 1. take wheel off 2. rub it down (need abrasive, 200 grit, working up to about 1000) 3. repair any curbing with wheel filler 4. rub down again (500 grit working to 1500) 5. spray a coat of primer on, leave for 1 hour 6.gently rub down with 2000 grit 7. spray another coat, leave for another hour 8. gently rub down with 2000 grit 9.spray 1 last coat leave for 24 hours 10. gently rub down with 2000 grit 11. spray on colour, light coats same process as above leave for an hour between coats and rub down gently with 2000 grit. 12. after final coat of colour, you might put on up to 7 or 8, leave for 24 to 48 hours to harden off 13. rub down 1 last time with, you guessed it 2000 grit. 14. apply laquer, probably 2 coats. 15 leave to dry for 24-48 hours before fitting to car. hope that helps You need to thoroughly clean and degrease the wheel after taking it off. Also (common sense here) spend some time masking too.
  3. oh dear thats chavtastic thats an expensive list you have that just got more expensive. suppose you can get yourself the used MPS2 from europe Cs can sort you out the clutch and maybe just do the oil cooler
  4. where these an ebay buy or from someone off the forum?
  5. just seen the pics, that looks nasty, and very deep. i would still say a smart repair is possible, but if your going down the paintshop route, then you'll get the best finish
  6. did a bit of reading last night, seems the HTC battery life is a bit shocking, some people haveing to recharge it everyday. suppose it depends on how much you use it and what you do on it. will probably end up with another iphone
  7. yes i meant 1200, 0r 2000 or 2500 its like rubbing down with paper
  8. i'm off to france in the summer in the Zed, am i going to regret it?
  9. most bodykits aren't but the jap stuff is more expensive as it has to be shipped over and the exchange rate is crap at the moment
  10. i would have gaffa taped my hands to it, more chance of a human takeoff then
  11. ings do several rears
  12. which mid mounted turbo kit are people talking about?
  13. they look good in that colour advice when laquering, is practice on something else first. its not the same as using normal paint i see laquering more as an art form than just an ability. and yes use something like 200 grit wet and dry or even 2500 would be better, and its a very light rub,
  14. can;t confirm but i'm sure the 200sx boys used to buy some of our used rays as they fitted straight on. personalyl i;d get the eibachs you can get them off the forum, they fit dtraight on and are tried and tested. plus the if you get the right set they just bolt straight on. some spacers require you to knock out the old studs and put in new longer studs fitting time differs then from 10 minutes to 3 hours
  15. i think your right O2 do them but rebrand them in their own O2 stylee
  16. sooooooooooooooo tempting to whack it all on a credit card
  17. downgrades are tough, for about 6-7K you could add a supercharger to it and it might bring the love back into your life you'd then have a 400bhp beastie that would put a smile on your face everytime you hit the loud pedal.
  18. not feeling it prefer the tin top version. but if i was spending that money i'd have the lambo baby G convertible but more likely the tin top
  19. i didn't know yours was a auto, possibly why you weren;t keeping up on the way home
  20. my phone is also my diary and alarm clock and planner and music player and internet browser (when on the loo) etc it does everything that i used to have about 5 different devices for. will definitely look into the HTC which network are they on?
  21. Please, please DO NOT use Wicked wheels. You will regret it . is that also relevant to all chip and scratch repair places that also do wheels? few people have use dthe one from croydon way and been very happy?
  22. i don'y know about exclusivity was just in a car park in shotley with another 3 zeds parked next to me. it was a mini meet though all good cars in your options list, but you need to find whats right for you. my mates got a scooby, and they really drink fuel, alot
