This is something I would have offered to do if I had a decent garage at home (or covered area) I've tried to do a couple of cars for friends but due to the weather its screwed all my plans. Luckly I was able to use a mates workshop for the dry parts on one of the cars

Not sure about the mac. There are a few for the PC I have found but none that I really like. Well I would love to get hold of this to play with - http://www.uprev.com/products/cipher_NI.html

Yup sooo true and the main reason why more people don't do it. The first week is much harder on a board and often more painful but the 2nd/3rd week on a board you will progress much quicker than on skis i.e. 4 weeks on a board and you could easily be playing with small jumps, rails and powder. On skis you won't. The general rule is Skiing is easer to get the basics, much harder to get the intermediate skills but probably easier to get advanced Boarding is harder to grask but much easier to get to intermediate but harder to get very very good on. [obviously there are exceptions but thats how it evens out normally]

Have fun - from the reports i have heard its medeoka out there are the moment with some sketchy runs around. Don't go using your goos skis as they will get scratched to hell. The Glacier should be OK luckly, remember to have the obligotary photo by the needles eye

yeah but front bumper is a much more inovled part. Takes much longer to remove from the car, have to mess around with masking round the grills or removing them etc, messeing around with wash jet bits. With the bonnet. Its a couple bolts and its off and then a nice flat surface which is easy to prep using a DA. No need to mask it as it will be sprayed side on probably so no spray would hit the bottom i.e. very easy to do. I would expect a bonnet to cost from £100 -£150 for a top job. For £200 I would expect it to be wet sanded after and then polished to a glass finish.

lol. no wonder the police can't convict people if they can't even remember who was driving the cars they have.

Rain-X does wonders for a windsreen. That or give it a nice polish and it wil be beading nicly

£170+VAT is a fair amount for a repsray on a bonnet, especially if they did not do any sort of blending. Its not a small bonnet but still IMO not a £200 job.

What size are the wheels?

What size and offset are they? Looks to fill the arches really well

Not really a present but hopefully wednesday get to fit some new wheels.

Yup and then a split second later the traction control kicks in and sorts it out for me Its all about sensible driving

My Winter car is a nice black 350z IMO the Z is not a special enough car to put it away for the winter. Show cars that are not really meant to be driven lots or rare exotics maybe but the Z is designed and developed to be used every day. Even on the winter morning drive to work it puts a smile on my face. Just keep it nicely waxed and it will be fine

If you have lots of stubbon tar on your wheels try.... Spray with AG Tar Remover Try scraping it off using blunt things like old credit cards Try using some Clar Bay to remove any bits of tar Try letting some Meg Wheel Brightner sit on them for 5 minutes (Diluted 4:1 to start with. If that does not work try it 1:1) If that does not work then I would just live with it or try it a few times to soften it up

Fair play to the guy. It may look a bit silly but better than that having to jump into the people mover for a nice boring drive

Has anyone got any pictures of the door being done. I can get behind the speaker just by taking it out but not sure about the rest of the door. The big metal plate that is bolted to the door, can this just be removed or does it have stuff like the window stuff attached to it? Has anyone managed to dynamat the whole of the outer skin (one of the weakest parts IMO due to the flat thin nature of the panel)

The end does such a bit but overall I enjoyed the film. With it being soooo long that you can walk out for the last 3 minutes and you have still seen a 3.5h movie! I just finished getting hold of the HD version and its stunning (not small at 35GB:wacko:)

Shes good but I am not sure she is amazing. The show when Delta was on it you really could tell the difference between a top singer (well shes even at the bottom of the stack still) and the wannabe

What model head unit is it?

First registration date: 2004-04-07 yet its a 03 plate? How does that work. Surely it would be an 04 plate? Suppose it could be personalised but thought they would have mentioned that

How does that work? A filter only filters what is upstream of the filter. i.e. anything connected on the phone side of the filter has the ADSL signal filtered out. It does not affect anything upstream.

Idea is good but I think it would need to be done properly as part of a modified bonnet

Its quite common for parts to take a while to become available. A friend worked at Citroen and they brought out a car with a new oil filter in it. It was about 4 months later before they could actually get a filter and ended up having to hold cars that needed them until they came in Doh

sl114 - Thats my point - in other cars - like my 206 (yes thats a car worth less than half the Z), the climate control included dehumidifying so I did not have to open my doors or anything to let the damp air out, over the drive into work it would remove all the damp and then it would be fine the next time I got in it. At most I would only ever have a tiny tiny amount of mist on the inside of the window where as I have a waterfall in the Z lol

Yup most of the time I have it set to... Auto Placement (Front Window to start with sometimes) Temp 21-24ish Degrees + Fresh Air Auto Speed + Air Con on
