If your referring to the stop watch then one of the buttons starts stops and resets it. The other counter cant be stopped, it counts up whenever the engine is running, suppose if you disconnected the rev sensor it might not count. You can reset it to 0 though by holding the reset button like if you are resetting the mpg.

Someone drove into the back of me and did something similar to my 350. It cost £300 cash in hand for all paint removing, baking, reshaping and repainting. So £350 - £400 sorry dude, and good luck with it.

At 10% RRP!!!! Now that is an awesome deal, front and rear ARBs for less than £40. I guess you meant 10% off RRP and that the above is a typo If not put me down for 5 pairs

No worries mate, I've run mine bunged and unbunged on trackdays so all good. I'm also planning on going down the inline silenced route, there is a place in Sheffield that has a good rep (exhausts uk) I'm also considering making it into a true dual and stinking in one or two in line silencers in each channel but need to enquire about the cost. Also first i want to find how much Db one silencer will remove so can decide what to do. I still want done noise but not ridiculous. I did consider getting a new exhaust but love the look of the two cans sticking out the back. Ideally around 88Db unbunged so I can stick the bungs in for places like croft and long motorway runs.

Difference in DB for K1 is: Bunged (loud mode) - 93Db - 3/4rpm static test No bungs (insane headache inducing mode) - 103Db - 3/4rpm static test So 10 Db which a hell of a lot I can't remember if it's 3 or 6 Db that means double the volume. My car lasted one trackday without bungs. Looking now to have the K1 modded to be quiet without bungs as they are bad for looks and flow.

I use Ultimate Compound, better than swirl-x (if I recall from Darren B's victimisation of his Zed in the light tunnel at Meguiars) to be fair you really must use a DA, it gives superb results. I was using mine today to correct some of the marks on the car since having my bodywork corrected. You can't go wrong with a DA. Here's how good these things are: Before After I need a DA!! Mine is affected by that swirly stuiff in general, great results!
-
Thanks Paul, agree completely - will get these down the bodyshop as soon as possible and see what they say, roll on the january bonus payment. Thanks again for your understanding. Steve
-
Yeah I do really need to get a DA polisher was thinking about it today when I was doing some Meguiars stage 1 clean and stage 2 polishing, it's hard work to buff it off manually. Wish it was as easy as NXT 2 Tech Wax!! Thanks for the suggestions I'll give one a go Paul thank you for the response about the skirts will let you know the outcome. Cheers!
-
I'll give it a go mate. , never used that before thanks Love washing the car on cold days the polish and wax look awesome!

Well after yesterday's skirt debarkle I decided I should wash the car today and get something productive out of the weekend: However unfortunately where the car got egged last week the paint is badly scratched with a circular scratch peppered with smaller circular scratches I assume from where the egg shell dug into the paint as it shattered.
-
No worries mate, glad it helped you out I would agree it does look quite daunting when you read it but it is quite easy just need to take your time.

I've sent the seller an email mate just awaiting a response

Yeah mate it's the last little bit of the OEM sticky pad that wouldn't come off. These are so far out a new sticky pad wouldn't hold them I wish it would.... If these are gonna go on its gonna be a screw or a bolt.
-
Thanks mate, yours also seems to fit very similar to mine in that area Really don't fancy putting a screw into the chassis though, to hold the skirt in place. I also don't think with these kinds of products you should have to do that. Just one more thing when your parts came we're they pre-drilled And did they have any markings, stickers etc to show they were shine parts? Thanks again, PS car looks mint
-
Hi Cragus, If you could mate that would be awesome! Are you saying there is a screw going into the metal to hold it in place? I did think that was an option but it would be putting quite a lot of force on the skirt to pull it back far enough. Did you have these fitting issues? Thank you Steve

No mate neither the skirts or bumper say shine on them anywhere at all, are they supposed to. There are bits of the fibreglass you can see through especially on the bumper. I had to file some of the fibreglass away on the skirt to get it to sit flush at the back as you have to with most aftermarket parts but doing this caused some of the gel coat to crack off so I need to repair that too. I expected having to do some minor fibreglass removal but still expected it to line up for the most part. The more I think about the more annoyed I get. Seems like I've pretty much thrown away the best part of a grand....should have just got the Aerosync one instead. Looks like its straight from the mould there don't appear to be any fitment marks on it or holes etc.

Thanks mate, not what I wanted to hear. Was hoping I could get the hairdryer out and reshape.. I got them from one of the Traders on here Yeah I was thinking that might be what I have to do, pretty annoyed still to be honest because paying the kind of money you pay for Shine stuff it should be right and you shouldn't have to pay to mod them to make them fit. I might see how the other side fits tomorrow before moving forward, really worried about the new front bumper I've got too if this skirt is anything to go by.
