Jesus mate that looks ace.... go on then... total cost of that kit?

Its ruined mate - take it off and give it to me.

You cant go wrong with the Falkens bud - dont waste your money on new ones - yet.

Whatever they tell you the tyre sizes are you need - make sure you double check it... they tried to give me some ridiculous sizes for mine, and i had a right argument with them, honestly - sh!t customer service, but cant fault the product or the price. Definitely get on the phone to them though - dont faff about with emails. And dont skimp on the tyres...

Curds - wow... sounds like NOS! Sounds interesting - but the rear wing is ugly.

I've never heard of anything like that... Have you checked your rear suspension? Any leaking fluids coming from the struts?

Few good examples on eBay mate... may not be the best quality wheels (with regard to weight/longevity) but they do the trick. The prices listed will be with crap tyres like Nankangs though... I got my 19's from these guys, with Falken 452's all round for £940 delivered. 18's were significantly cheaper - like in the 6's. It took 6 weeks for them to arrive though - their customer service was crap. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-ALLOY-WHEELS-N ... 240%3A1318

Cant you just jump start it and then drive around for an hour...? Thats worked for me the two times mines gone flat...

Congrats mate.

Awesome matey. Love the Halo's... Get some pics up when they're on the car...

Had read that previously Tim - thats why i wanted to check it today in the light, before my track day next week...

i think it would be quicker taking the bumper off... I've had mine off a few times now so could finish the job in about an hour - but the first time it took me about 5 hours to replace the reflectors - and that was without taking the bumper off. It was snowing though, and i couldnt feel my fingers!

Sorted it, cheers guys. As the image shows, put your hand behing and squeeze the 2 tabs inwards while pulling the cover out.

Bumper off Job mate. This is easy to do though if you follow the guides on here.

Hey Martin, Did you mean to put a link up? I've searched through my service manual, not sure if its the US one - but it got no matches for 'TOW' or other variations... what did you search on??

Erm... sounds a stupid question, but i cant get it off...! Im talking about the cover in the front grill.... i pull the bottom part of it and it pivots upwards, but there are some tabs on the back of it which stop it going any further. The threaded hole is about 3/4 inch higher up, so i cant get to it... I've got a track day next week, and need my towing eye in whilst on track.... See pics...

Very nice Tim - i love SL's.

This made me crack up...

Sarnie - thats very funny. Yes, my cars still here, but i got up 4 times in the night to check!! I've just re-read my post it does sound like im being paranoid - but it was hard to describe what happened...! He wasnt doing his job at all... Ah well.

Just writing this so i have something to show the police really if the worst happens!! I've just ordered a pizza and i was going to get it delivered so told them my address, but then realised i had no cash so told them i'd pick it up. Anyway, got there and all went fine, but as i was leaving, totally off hand the guy just said 'Did you say you lived at xxxxxxx?'. Like an idiot i said yes, and realised i shoudnt have done straight away. He had no reason to ask me that. The guy was eastern european, but not polish or slovakian i dont think. Its not that he was foreign though - it was the way he said it. He didnt acknowledge my car at all, and he was stone-faced - it wasnt polite chat... i just know he was on it. I'd parked right infront of the Pizza Pantry and they could see my car completely. Anyway, sleeping with my bedroom window open from now on, and i keep a bat very close anyway - not that im paranoid!

Me too mate - am well looking forward to it...!!

Yup. In the center of mine it says stubborn and lazy in chinese. I think. It might say smug c*nt, i'd never know!

While the weather's been cold i've been getting 17.4mpg but i've got 31MPG in the past on long runs. I've been meaning to post about this actually... is there anything that can cause my MPG to be so poor at the moment???

Im a software developer and i write credit card software. ...no, i haven't written a program to take all the left over 1p's from transactions and put them in my account - but i know how to
