looks great. Perhaps some fakey bonnet/boot pins and rear wiper removal to finish the look?

i got mine for £912 from Egg and i am in the same boat as you. They originally quoted me 1050 as a renewal but i haggled them down by using a dubious direct line quote. :cool:

woop, not to worry. The garage phoned and the panel is on @ 47k :-)

I'm tempted but i'm wondering if the additional cost of having the car corrected outweighs the rise in sale price.

yeah i have an MOT and service from september which is around 44k or so but the new panel reads 52k so it would have been possible to do those miles. The annoying thing is that i only use it once/twice a week now due to change in circumstances so it would have had about 45k heh. :dead: Its not...

is it true that if you purchase a used instrument panel it will retain the mileage from the other car? I'm getting a new panel from a breakers and its slightly higher mileage than my vehicle. Is it possible to restore my true mileage or not? Although i'm saving alot by not buying brand new...

I can't stand the headlights on PH1. Nor the interior. Black one above does look nice though and I'm sure they are quicker by a millisecond or two...

One of my mates was in camden town the other day and saw these getting ready for gumball. I got this lil pic in mms :D Apparently they decided against the veyron because it wouldnt be able to make the distance without needing various sets of new tyres and new wheels! The guy was explaining...

There are a lot of factors involved but the most common cause of low speed is actually the source of the file. As a test; if you download a file from a UK microsoft server you will probably reach your connections potential. You should expect more than 800KB/s (the theoretical speed of an 8Mbit...

I think you've made your decision anyway and you just want people to say 'do it'. If you want to spend all your earnings on your car then you can I'm pretty sure you can afford it.

thanks mate will check through when i get a chance. Added to favorites. I was just about to test another method which may end up working better than the original design. I found an exe that outputs file size to a variable. I can tell the FTP to run this on every zip upload combined with an...

whoops i should have said before, this is for a windows based system not *unix :( edited original post.

I want to do a command line based search for files in a certain dir which are larger than a size of my choosing. For example, find any zip files in C:\backups\ that are >200MB. I cant for the life of me find a way to do it!! I assumed the find cmd would have similar parameters to the one in...

Check the size of the windows folder. You might have network caching on which can occasionally cause probs. This would only be an issue if you were on a local network though. The folder it stores files in is usually C:\Windows\CSC and its hidden by default.

I was down for the sunday and the clio racing was great as usual. Druids was awash with slams :D I think 32 of the 42 cars made it through to the main event, it was a shame there was only one race.
