Tell me about it Martin.Had bump with rear bumper and exhaust knocked out of line got that sorted,then kerbed the wheel and on top of this front ball joint on banana bar has collapsed which needs doing before MOT runs out.

The Wheel Sepcialist in Manchester looks a good setup but they reckon they would not get the finish bright enough to match.I have just fired them another email to see if they can just do the bead all way round as close as possible. If this fails looks like a new rim.Car is turning into a right nightmare at present.

I was in tears when i did it,what a noob.

Mine goes in on Monday for the Banana bar,ball joint has collapsed on it.The noise is like a creaking noise when turning the wheel when stationary,sounds like an old cart.

Had a bit of a disaster with my front passanger wheel.Caught it on a kerb and put a gash about an inch long on the beading on the rim. I have tried a couple of places Revive a mobile repair guy and also been to The Wheel Specialist in Manchester and they reckon the colour will be hard to match.The colour is formula silver. Anyone know of a very good refurb place.Oh Volk wont give me the paint code as its against company policy.

Bloody hell Dave,you could go on holiday in one of those.

Stunning car.

Looks mint James. I will be having that bumper myself in the future,but have spent far to much on the car in the past 12 months.

Mike just printed the ticket off and it says invalid code on it.Is this right?

Yeah they will fit,thats what i run.

How fast can you get hold of it Alex.

Yeah but how hard was the colly to remove.My Swissvax is very easy to take off.

Aleady been in touch with Alex,he only has drivers side.He can get new ones but he is ony £10 cheaper than dealer.

Looks awesome mate. Front looks really low,60mm looks about right.How do you get about with the front bumper?

Had car into dealers on fri with a creaking noise coming from nearside front suspension.Turns out the ball joint on the banana bar has collapsed. I thought oh will only cost about £200 tops with labour,how wrong was I.Cant just buy the ball joint,I have to buy the whole bloody arm.£550 fitted the robbing ba****ds,but it needs doing as it will fail MOT which is due this month. How come every time something f**ks up you can't just replace the part that's gone. Rant over,good job I am going on my jols in 2 weeks.

You would probably be better off buying the Supernatural,even though it's more expensive it will last longer. I have a pot of Swissvax Best of Show,had it 2 years and it's still half full.So that's will work out at £30 a year if it lasts 4 years which it should.

Nismo V2.

Beat me too it Stew.

You get get products of Tim at Envy Valeting or Andy at Kudos. First of do you have a pressure washer,if you do then snow foam is a must. 2 buckets with grit gaurds. A good shampoo. Decent wash mitt. Couple of good size drying towels. A good polish. Wax. Applicators. Wheel cleaner. Wheel brush. Detailing spray. That lot should keep you going.

Looks stunning,the detail has really made it glow.

It's really good quality and nicely finished.It will be a while before I get the bumper and fit it.

Picked mine up today from sorting office.Took me about an hour to get through the packaging,thanks again Nath.

Thanks Ian,looks like it will be staying as it is then.

Looking forward to this,hope the weather is like today.

Yeah it's a UK facelift car.Looks like I will have to wait for the new bumper then.
