  1. I've only ever seen one car where the edges weren't bloody obvious, which was an RS6 who had everything done and it cost him £4K. There is s noticeable difference in finish between a PPF panel and a plain one. That would bug the hell out of me! Plus stone chips are still noticeable, albeit not as much as on paint but then yours is white, so chips will be even less noticeable.
  2. I would either do a whole car or nothing at all, and make sure that you've seen examples of their work as sometimes you can end up seeing the film itself on the edges which looks dreadful. Personally, i wouldn't bother.
  3. Unless you do it properly with a large piece of solid board that extends past the bumper and runs right back past the sump, then no. Even then, you'd need to balance it up with rear aero and it would only be useful at high speeds. Essentially if you can't stand on a front splitter, it's not doing anything.
  4. Anything instead of Pirelli.
  5. BEEMO FRIEND :D
  6. 245/35/19? I'd rather drop a profile than mix tyres.
  7. Which is a huge shame.
  8. Not on 20", all been 19" so far no?
  9. It's a number 2 I have, close enough
  10. Low CoG definitively, and drag too as they don't need a radiator, but we're years away from them ever being low weight. Trouble is, with the weight of all those batteries is it worth spending extra on lightweight materials for the structure?
  11. Bet he didn't give a toss now he's sold up and bought a grey car after all
  12. Cheers guys Saw the surgeon yesterday, sadly my op to remove the gallbladder won't take place until after Le Mans now, which is a bit of a pain as eating healthy there is not the easiest thing to do. Still, it's the right move long term so can't complain, and at least I'll be ok for my trip to Florida later this year. The infection seems to have gone now mostly, so there's no pain anymore. Trouble is, after three weeks in bed I'm exhausted just doing simple things like walking to the hairdresser (5 mins away!) so need to build my fitness up again. However, I have lost 8lbs over that time period (not including The Turd From Hell) so swings and roundabouts

    Feather Wrap...

    I really, really hate AFD. None of these 'jokes' are remotely funny in the slightest. Harumph.
  14. Who is doing the install? For peace of mind on the warranty side of things, I'd go with whatever our installer says. If you're doing it yourself, then I agree with Olly and go with the manufacturer's advice.

    Remove the last img tag.
  16. What size tyres are you running? And are you lowered at all? A Zed (assuming 350, you don't say though), even on 20" wheels, should be able to be put into the OEM settings as long as it's not lowered. With bigger wheels, all you're doing is swapping metal for rubber, so everything else should stay the same. I mean, it's going to move by fractions, but not enough that someone shouldn't be able to get it back to OEM.
  17. EVs definitely don't lend themselves to low-weight vehicles, or at least they don't right now.
  18. Napalm or GTFO

    ARGH FLASHBACK
  20. I also spotted in EVO this month that the new CTR comes on 20" wheels as standard. TWENTY INCH F*CKING WHEELS ON A HATCHBACK. Utterly ridiculous. That's miles too big.

    Def needs gold wheels.
  22. Tighten your belt if it's a bit too loose
  23. I think my mum still has hers somewhere, y'know. Probably worth a fortune now if you can flog it to a hipster!
  24. It's something your grandkids had the pleasure of using
  25. Amending in ink is fine. How do you think people used to do it before typewriters, or why they still make you sign it with an actual pen?
