  1. What we need is a breakdown of the bill, from the garage.
  2. Stickers are fine, but they're not to my taste. The Craptastic one, especially. Game over is alright, at a push.
  3. You really need to be telling us who this is. Keeping quiet helps no-one. I make it £715 for the labour alone, plus the oil, discs and lines. Call that another £400 (I'm being pessimistic here), and that's £1100, which ties in with your guesstimate. Has the work been completed to a high standard?
  4. No news on 'mine' yet either. Might give them a call today.
  5. Sorry bud, but they look incredibly cheap and nasty from that photo. I think I'd have been happy to pay another £40 for the genuine article, given that you must've spent at least £30K on the car itself. Got any other pics, or any shots of them fitted? One pic can be deceiving, after all!
  6. Women and South African men. That's the only two people I've butted heads with on site.
  7. Charge him travelling timeon top, make it more than what he's removing. That'll teach the tight *****. It's not Stuarty you're working for, is it?
  8. You're right, they do extend the durability, I just prefer to reapply a bit more often. That's a personal thing though.

    Yup, that's them.

    I think Asian Hooker is probably my favourite song of theirs. I still need to buy their last album though.

    I love Steel Panther! \m/

    Bloody women, root cause of everything expensive when it comes to cars.

    Is that not what wives are for?

    Awesome, isn't it?! MPGs at least in the 20s, and it's a fully electric V12 BMW: What could possibly go wrong?!
  15. I managed to get about 2-3 years' worth out of a DJSN panel pot, across multiple cars. No need to chuck it on, once a panel is protected then it's protected: By adding extra layers you either just waste it (if the wax hasn't cured properly) or you just delay putting the next lot on when you do a proper wash by a bit. Done correctly, a single layer of LSP should be more than enough. Yes, I've tried layering waxes before over the course of a week, but in all honesty it didn't give me noticeable extra results. Each to their own though, that's the beauty of things like this
  16. YOU CAN NEVER HAVE A SCREEN TOO BIG, HAND YOUR MAN CARD IN NOW
  17. Gotcha. You can't give the car back though, in theory the dealer could take you to court for the money. Unless we're talking a Veyron though, I can't ever see that happening in the real world.
  18. Ignoring the people factor in this (which is hard to do, given Doc's involvement), there is no way that team should've been allowed to 'compete' in F1. They've shown zero signs of progress, they're nothing but rolling roadblocks, and are a detriment to the F1 sport.
  19. But yeah, I agree in this case it may well be a bit of good will that gets a result.
