Finished doing my work on this now and it's up for sale now if anyone's interested (despite me saying in my first post above what i paid for it ) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271160245455

Cant you just buy an aftermarket generic HID kit and chop it into your existing lights? They're dirt cheap and will do the job fine, and its an easy DIY. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-35W-XENON-HID-single-beam-Kit-H1-H3-H4-H7-H8-H9-H11-9006-4300K-6000K-10000K-/181038820316?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a26c12bdc

Hahaha...

I like the jewel lights with the shaded bits as in the first pic. In general the first pic looks great, but then i dont like it in red?

I'm still interested in one of these....

A mate from work stepped off a curb and fell over and thought nothing of it.... next day his whole lower leg turned black, and he'd torn all his ligaments in his ankle. He then had to work from home for 3 weeks as he couldnt drive.

Well that was fun watching tonight... the rugby game was great... but can anyone tell me how they can afford to wreck all those brand new Kia's? Im not having a dig i just want to know how they did it...! Obviously they wouldnt have gone out and spend £250k on all those cars but who would even lend them to them knowing they'd get wrecked?

Only if they are already covered by another insurance policy for someone else. Ahh... didnt know that. oops.

I believe they're an anodized finish from what i've read online.... actually - i'll do a bit of googling on how to restore anodized metal. But yes i had heard bad things about the AutoGlym too... i was always careful with it however and never left it on long. Be careful with Bilberry though too... im sure Bullet Magnet damaged his Volks using that...

Hey guys, I spent a couple of hours trying to clean my Volks today and didnt have much success. I take them off every winter but i did drive with them on during an early frost in November last year and i think the roads had been salted - but i washed them within a few days so don't expect this to be the cause. I also changed my wheel cleaner in the autumn as i'd run out... i've always used DoDo Juice Mellow Yellow wheel cleaner which was great, but i ran out and ended up using some AutoGlym Alloy Wheel Cleaner instead... i used it 3 or 4 times and suspect this may be the cause? Basically the polished lips are covered in spots/marks which are raised to the touch. I've tried the Wolf's Chemicals Deironizer which doesnt touch them, and polished them with Megs NXT Metal Polish which made a slight improvement but still couldnt clear them. Lastly i tried some bug and tar remover but again this did nothing. Anyone have any ideas on what this could be, or how to shift it? Or have they had their day and require a refurb? The last pic is a closeup of the lip - i've breathed on it and fogged it up and you can see the marks very clearly.

You're doing a 60 mile round trip to get some resistors? If you know the ones you want, just order them off eBay. I bought 100 for 99p incl delivery a couple of weeks ago.

Im with Admiral and phoned them up last week to ask if i was allowed to drive other cars on my policy - and they told me i was - so i think this would cover you maybe?

Paid - 1 ticket + tracktime.

2.2ohm, are you sure? Thats very small... You can just ask at the counter and they will get the ones you need... they're not usually on display for the public to choose off the shelf.

Yep will be fine. I've been on track with a repaired tyre a few times.

I think they will look great in black against your yellow car.

'registered cat d as stolen recovered ( the car was stolen had seats and a number of panels removed )' ...Sounds like an insurance scam

Call up the local constabulary and make a complaint - im sure if you can accurately give the location they will be able to identify the officer and give him a reprimand, if it is as you say.

Brilliant.

Anyone seen this on the news today? Pretty spectacular. Reports of over 500 people injured but no deaths. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6tpVZDg0Mk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GRqK3OWLqs

I would use a heat gun rather than the oven.... that way you can control and direct the heat.

That would be a little expensive for a full front end respray!

Depends on how much your deposit was, and at the end of the day, that is what a deposit is for - to protect against a buyer pulling out. I think a reasonable outcome would be to cover the cost of the repair within reason, or any costs the dealer has incurred as a result of you saying you'll take the car, plus maybe another 15% because they'll feel they've been messed about. Sorry to hear your circumstances have changed, hopefully you'll get in a zed soon enough.
