  1. Why not - had to do mine; couldn't leave it that horrible yellow with the rest blue!
  2. I'm thinking about covering the black background on this Z badge with CF vinyl. Anybody know where I can get small quantities of self-adhesive CF?
  3. I've said this before, but I still think it's the best solution - get a trunk monkey!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2-k-7fP ... re=related
  4. Very nice. Are the tyres Falkens?
  5. Yes, but can you remember Arthur Montford commentating on the games? By the way, Craigy, to another Scot on the forum.
  6. I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Happy to contribute to the cause.
  7. .... but it helps. A Glasgow man walks into a bank in the centre of Glasgow and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to Australia on business for two weeks and needs to borrow £5,000. The loan officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Glasgow lad hands over the keys and documents of a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the Log Book and everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's Manager and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the rough-looking Glaswegian for using a £120,000 Ferrari as collateral against a £5000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, the Glaswegian returns, repays the £5,000 and the interest, which comes to £15.41. The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi-millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow £5,000?" The Glaswegian replies: "Where else in Glasgow can I park my car for two weeks for only £15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?'"
  8. That works for the UK cars, but the washer bottle on my JDM is held on by a bolt which is at the front and cannot be accessed from the wheel side. I'll try the bumper off option I think. UPDATE. In the end it was a 20 minute job! Turned the wheel in, removed the three bolts holding it to the wing, popped the clips along the top and that allowed me to swing the bumper forward. More than enough room to get in there and change the reflector. Cheers for all the suggestions and advice, guys. What a great forum!!
  9. +1, if you have them available separately.
  10. Especially for those of us who couldn't make it to Wales.
  11. What an awful start to the trip for you, Paul. I'm glad you got there eventually and hope you enjoyed what seems to have been a very successful event. By the way, the car looks really
  12. Thanks everybody. I have looked at the guide and it actually does look easier than removing the wheel arch liners etc. I'll have a go at it later in the week.
  13. No way!!! what happened? glad Steve and his lad are ok. that's the most important thing! sounds like it was big one? met steve a few weeks back, very nice guy! gutted for him. Yeah steve is fine. His zed on the other hand is not. Such a shame What a shame. Gutted for you, Steve. Anybody know how it happened?
  14. Great photos, guys. Looks like a great day out. Hope you don't get into trouble for posting photos of Plod on a public forum. You know how paranoid they are these days about such things!
  15. I know it's probably the best bet, but how big a job is that? Is there a guide on it on here?
  16. I took off the near-side wheel yesterday, removed the wheel arch liner and replaced the bumper reflector with a clear one. No problems at all. Went to do the off-side one today, but discovered that the washer bottle is in the way. Tried for ages to get round it but eventually gave up in disgust. Now I will probably have to replace the other one to get them matching again!!
  17. Surely you can't remember any of these, Cara?
  18. Great news Andy. Glad you've got it back even though you have still some work to do to it. Look forward to seeing the final result.
  19. jim

  20. Don't..... that'll just start a fight about which tartan!!
