other option is to heat thewm up with a blow torch, this sometimes works with exhaust bolts.

its my largest decal yet

i kind of agree i hate it when there are no spaces left and some nugget has used up 2, i wouldn't do it as i'm sure someone would key my car

looks the same as if you were to run sand paper on it, and the edge has scrathced, my guess is its rubbing, the bonnet will vibrate only slightly, but it would be enough to take the shine off the resin. i bet it would polish up.

our numbers are growing, i bought mine to be different as no one else had one, now we seem to be flooded with zeds should soon have enough for a mini meet

wasn't me as i haven't been out today, hadn't realised there was another suffolk Zed, so far there is: Bullet Magnet Myself You Bullet magnets mate.

very tempting

thanks sobrien, looks really good, glad you like them. can do these in any colour for people.

i do like the orange and black look, seen it done on a veilsided mr2 roadster wide body, and it did look gorgeous.

i have just bought some clear rubber u shaped trim, which i shall be fitting to the edge tomorrow, so will let people know how it goes.

looks like i'm going to start my new policy with the RAC shame theres not a 2 fingers emoticon i could have put up for the AA

i think you would be fairly safe, i've never heard of anyones throwing up a CEL when fitted, i had one and it was fine. i would clean it at the same rate as the service intervals.

You are contradicting yourself a bit there! You say that young drivers are the most dangerous but then you go on to say that it is 'rape' that one of your (assume 17 year old) student is paying £2500 to insurance a 182BHP renault Clio. If you could see the claims stats and payouts for 17 year olds, you would realise that the prices being charged for insurance are in line with the risks presented. Would YOU want to insure a 17 year old on a car like a Clio 182 which icidentally has one of the worst claims loss ratio out of all the cars on the road in the UK?? £2500 sounds like a cheap price to me Ollie Sky Insurance i don't see it as a contradiction, i think its very sensible to price young people according to the likely hood of them crashing, i used the term rape, as its what he said when he told me how much his insurance cost. his exact words " have been rapred on the insurance and have to pay £2500" if he or his parents are silly enough to pay that then more fool them. i try an encourage the young lads when they come up for getting cars that they should keep it under 1.4, and get some thing fun like an old mini. sorry if it seemed like i was contradicting myself i was trying to promote the fact that the insurance companies are already helping in deterring young drives from powerful cars by chargijng high prices for them or as you say appropriatly charged according to risk.

oops i hadn't written it as clearly as i wanted, i put up to 25, but was thinknig about years of experience, i didn't go back and check it. i agree with what you say, that it should be done on experience not age. kind of tap it onto the current probation period of 2 years and limit the power to weight ratio at the same time. to be honest accidents will happen at any age but i do see alot of driving immaturity in my sixth formers. not saying it doesn't exist in older gernations, but we had a sixth former run over a year 7 student in the car park because he came in too fast round a blind corner, yet he would havew ahd to have passed the studentbefore hand so should have known he was coming. (funny one way junction/roundabout at the entrance to the car park) police were involved and he was eventually done on having bald tyres by the police as the school and parents didn't want to prosecute. my last school i watched a sixthformer come in to quick into a carpark in the wet, came to end of the car park, went to go round and instead just slid into the fence. this is why i have a specific parking space in a place in the carpark where it would be nearly impossible to hit by accident and it allows me to park away from cars so that people can't open a door into it.

idots, what there refering to is not the modified scene, but young drivers. i agree that young drivers are the most dangerous on the road, (sorry young people )and young lads under 25 are most likely to have a crash. so what they need to do is not legislate mods for cars rather legislate what young people can drive. any one under 25 is going to hate me now what they need to do to reduce that statisitic is limit the engine size that young drivers can drive. i'd say nothing over 1.4 for first 3 years of driving 1.6 for following 3 years up to 1.8 following 2 years. that takes you up to 25. or say that young drivers are limited to under 100bhp till they're 25. insurance companies already do this to a point by financially raping young people on big cars, and try and price you off your decision. prime example is one of my sixth formers just got a clio 182 and his insurance for 3rd party only is £2500. but his aprents apy for it as they have the money. my honest opinion is drive what you like but if your in experienced and buy something you can't handle, don't be surprised if you wrap yourself around a tree with in 18 months.

great finish there, very nice piece of kit.

dammit, hadn't seen this thread, look like i'm playing pool then

the exhaust is harder than the wire wool, its abrasive enough to remove crud. but not hard enough to cut the metal. and evenif i tdid a quick run of wet and dry would restore it, finsih with brasso and good as new. did this on my H&S custom stainless exhaust worked a treat.

is this still happening on thursday? who's going?

i've rubbed down with wirewool and wet and dry paper and then finished off with brasso, but a better chemical paste would be autosol.

just seen them my laptop on the work connection doesn't always show embedded stuff. sounds good.

I read that wrong, it was the guy in the BMW who was the rookie! My mistake You dont know who Jason Plato is? Rookie was doing well by the looks of it, but if its still the same format as last time I watched, in some races they reverse the field, so its likely he started at the front as he wasnt that good and Plato made his way through the field. Could be wrong though as I havent seen the race. correct, watched it last night on sky. as my the bodyshop i use were racing in it; team AFM Racing

think it must be my work net connection as it doesn't always show all links, cos i can't find a single video thread. will have to check later when i get home. am really liking this, was kind of what i was looking for. especially as its the whole system and not just a back box.

its a nice looking piece of kit http://www.blueflameperformance.com/pra ... 6&x=13&y=6 very tempted at that price, just would really like to hear what it sounds like. its £80 more direct from blueflame

But I think he still won as the other guy was given a penalty for 4 seconds +1That is some excellent driving and from a rookie?? a rookie? jason plato has been driving for years
