Yeah, looks like that's the end of that!

That does sound really nice!

I have a blue bonnet available to sell for the right price. Off a 56 facelift, in really good condition, but a few marks consistent with age / use... nothing you'd need to worry about! Make me a decent offer and it's yours, else it's going into storage.

Not sure this is the correct thread to post in, but I won't be able to make this as originally planned. My car is going into the bodyshop tomorrow and probably won't be finished in time. Massively disappointed, but my car needs sorting out!

Happy Birthday mate!

Sorry to here this mate, but at least you're OK, even though it might suck not being able to drive for a year!

They generally make a racket with the clutch out... not worth replacing until the clutch starts to slip. You won't do any harm to any part of your car leaving it.

What he said... basically baiting the hook knowing that the majority of people will "reinvest" their winnings!

Don't be so ridiculous and insensitive Doogy! It's not orange!

That sucks mate! Have you thought of getting a car cover as a temporary fix? I know this doesn't help when driving about, but still should help if it pisses down over night.

Sorry to see this mate, what utter bastards for driving off!

Recruitment consultancy? Not sure if there are any jobs in this field, but it seems to be well paid with the opportunity to make more from bonuses etc. You'd also have a lot of transferable skills from the call centre. Anyway, you're only 29 and the world is your oyster... says the ancient and wise 36 year old! It's never too late to train for something and as others have said... money does not equal job satisfaction... which as you get older becomes all the more important!

Realistically, you've got no chance... The only way would be to contact a Chinese supplier using Ali express and trying to blag them into making some samples... they'd most likely tell you to do one as you haven't got a cover story. I.e. work for a company that sells car badges. Think how much it costs to make prototypes. The man hours involved, even for a badge are crazy. The only way companies bother with the effort is if they can recoup the money by mass production and high volume sales. Not trying to **** on your bonfire or anything, but unfortunately, things like this aren't easy or cheap!

A company would have to design and make a mould for a ridiculously low quantity order... If you find someone willing to do it, you'll be looking at way more than £100!

Chrome... but also happens on the native Samsung one.

Have you done anything silly like trap anything in the plenum? My idle was erratic when I trapped the rubber oil filler collar in mine!

Honduras in the work sweep for me... that was £5 well spent!

You can get ones from eBay which mount in the rear number / licence plate light. People mostly seem to use these as reverse cameras, but no reason why it wouldn't meet your requirements?

Yeah, non-runner almost certainly means knackered engine in this case!

What??? Have you not seen Robben?

Rear spoiler is plastic mate, so not rust? Got any more pics of where you mean?

Never too late for quality Wales photos!

ECU reset is worth a go before replacing anything?

Here's mine, using BBQ paint from Homebase!
