i think its the light as the red almost matches in with the red zed. if keep spending money on the car though my nuts will be an interesting shade of black and blue

Finally got round to fitting the wheel centres from rob. they are about 1 mm to short so will let rob know so he can alter them before the next lot go out. but its not noticeable once fitted, and when i have the wheels refurb in black i'll get them to match in the tiny lip that is visible. also big thanks to sarah at envy for sorting out my 5zigen light weight lug nuts. they on now at the same time cos i liked them, but will look better once the wheels are all satin black. If people were planning on fitting them to silver wheels i'm sure rob could do a different background for you. but you'd need to speak direct to rob.

no worries i've pm'd you back, if you want your welcome to paste my answer on here, i'm more than happy with the work and the people who did it. don't know anyone in the kent area but i think the ones that were recommended above come from good sources with high expectations of what they want out of the work carried out on their cars. good luck in your search, and i hope it all goes well. look forward to seeing the pics

i love the suttleness of it, only thing i would do long term plans wise is spray the front of the car either side of the car, the bits that run either side of the bonnet, to tie it in with the rest of the 2 tone car.

mark if you do i'll take your old carbon covers off your hands for you

none taken dan, pesonally i think the finish is good. the photos i took of the areas that hadn't been so good like the doorsill area and the small gap on the drivers side rear arch/skirt area. were more to show the issue with the skirts and possibly why its better to get originals not copies. its difficult to show it, but the idea was to show what the bodyshop were able to do with it. just out of interest, and no offence would be taken were those the areas that you felt weren't up to scratch, or were there others that you'd spotted that i hadn't if you'd seen the bumper before they had it you'd see how much work had gone in to the front bumper. sadly i don't have any pics, as i can't find them on my profile. don't think i saved the ones from the original owner. but basically the front had been split under the skirt, and on the top of the fixings, it had chips, holes dents etc. and looked a real mess. i wouldn't hesitate to reccomend Team AFM they did a good job with a cheap kit.

thanks guys, am hoping to have it sorted before the ace cafe meet, but we'll have to wait and see.

looks really good. my guess is for something carbon fibre or something that takes gauges, possibly for a turbo maybe or a supercharger. but i'm guessing

20mm all round from Eibach. if you don't plan to lower it you could go 25mm at the rear and 20mm at the front.

looks excellent mate, top job.

are those mirrors fully electric like th eoriginals?

Not going for the red lip now then Rich? possibly but at a later date. wheels might be postponed till after the winter, trying to sort out other things.

they'll get it sorted, they invited me up to woodbridge for a passenger lap tomorrow. think they are up there all day with some cars

racoon do a vinyl wrap, and have palces all over the country.

there have only been a few people post resently about work done, so i'm guessing i'm one of them. fit of kits is only partly down to the bodyshop, if you buy some cheap crap, it doesn't matter how good the dodyshop is they'll never make it look perfect. i personally have found a very good shop near me and their work is excellent. their ability to work with the materials, the quality fo the finish and the techniques they use is very important. you can get a crap body shop to do a good finish that only lasts a short time. its a good shop that will do a quality job that will last. might be worth PMing the people whos kits you do like and asking them where they got their work done.

ace of base, now that brings back memories

standard rays on 20mm spacers. soon to be satin black in finish

so much better

thats not a wheel thats the front of a steam roller, wrapped in rubber, thats an immense wheel. not my style, but still wow, didn't know they made tyres that big for road cars

+1 to the above, and then get your body shop to smooth out the old indicator marks. have a look at madmarky's orange beast i think he did it to his

it's like a 90's revival i quite liked primal scream as well, loved the song loaded.

i need to learn how to use it more, apparently i'm teaching it to the year 9's soon

Should get the re map, so you can put it in valet mode, so she cant rag the pants off it.

Cheers Mick, its why i use them for everything, their technicians and mechanics are amazing, and their attention to detail is supurb. Rick won't send anything out that isn't right, and the lads who work on the touring cars know their stuff. did they get your exhaust pipe sorted in the end and all straightened out.
