  1. Agreed, the eyelids look gash
  2. Cheers GM, appreciate the advice. Such a great forum for hints, tips and meeting like minded folk.
  3. Lovely clean car, I like the debadged and smoothed bumper with the gloss black rear section and black zunsport grill. Good work.
  4. I like that bumper intake snorkel. Did you fit it? Thoughts on it?
  5. LED's fitted in the boot, interior and number plate. Just the sidelights to do now... Big thanks to Gumpy000 for meeting me today and handing over some spare Festoon interior bulbs
  6. JWT Popchargers are common however if I was to buy one new I'd get a Takeda with the black intake piping as it blends in well with the engine bay. Lots here; http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/products.aspx?CategoryId=dd876c45-6d4a-41df-bc25-7c19903fe703
  7. I give it 3 months before it's wearing a full bodykit, BGW, HFCs, aftermarket exhaust, Rota's.....
  8. Sorry to hear about this, I had the same on my previous car but unfortunately the offender decided to leave without providing any details. Any accident whether that be fault/part-blame/non fault, will impact your premiums (generally in that order of cost). There is no hard and fast rule. Believe me, I've been in the Industry for 7 years and I've seen claims make no difference and I've seen claims make insane differences. It just depends on the overall risk, EG: 17 year old pays £2000 at year 1, has a fault accident, renewal premium is sent out at £4000. He/she shops around and see's a quote for £2200 45 year old with 9 years protected NCB pays £350 at year 1, has a fault accident, renewal premium is sent out at £420. Shops around and finds a price of £360 45 year old with 9 years NCB unprotected pays £320 at year 1, has a fault accident, NCB is reduced to 3 years for renewal, renewal premium is sent out at £540. Shops around and finds a price for £400 It really is so variable it's almost pointless discussing it.
  9. I'm not the most patient person in the world, the parts arrived and I had a free morning so I thought I'd get right to it - as you said, the old ones had seen better days.
  10. FedEx came at 8:30am and dropped of this INSANELY HEAVY package. Thanks to Ewen at Clarke Motorsport for great communication and the next day delivery, not forgetting the jelly snakes Mid-way through fitting, it took about 3 hours as some of the bolts were being a little stubborn. I've followed the bed-in procedure and they are feeling great.
  11. Cheers Tim, good to meet you and Gumpy (James...?), be good to make it a regular thing. The crash in Spain was my first accident on track, bloody typical that I'd just spent £700 on new boots and a race suit which have some pretty heroicic scars now! But, at least they done their job as I didn't have a scratch on me, just ligament damage from twisting my knee.
  12. Has the car recently been cleaned? Could be some product on the discs being burnt off. My old Type R used to cook brakes, but only if I was driving like a total bell end or on track.
  13. Message me your number. I hope you take Ugandan dollars $$$
  14. I may want to change to braided hoses and RBF600 fluid, I'll be using a vacuum kit. My question is, I will need to drain the entire system of the DOT4 before using the silicone based fluid (I'm aware they don't mix) - In doing this, the mastercylinder will of be emptied. Have you all bled the master cylinder using the vacuum method to good effect or did you just pull the fluid through the system using the bleed nipples on the calipers. Thanks
  15. Unfortunately I can't make Monday. Do let me know if you book a Snetterton as I am going to be doing one in the next 4-6 weeks. Dent Devils done the repair, they done 8 (yes, 8) very minor dings in my drivers door for £90 incl vat. Perfect job, you wouldn't know it ever had any dents
  16. It's really hard to show the colour of the rims in photo's, they are darker in certain lights and a lot more glossy and light in others - they look fantastic in person. I'd say do it!
  17. I'm at work 9-5 on Monday but could pop out and meet you at Norwich train station whenever you like? £60 is too much of a steal, I'm happy to pay £100 per bulb
  18. My friend had one for about a year, it cost him a small fortune. It'd often refuse to start and the MPG's were dreadful, IIRC he used to get about 16.
  19. You sir, are a legend. How do you want to arrange me getting them? How much do you want for them?
  20. This thread is awesome. Bay looks lovely, well done
