i hope ABP did a better job of setting up your car compared to what they 'did' to mine. other than that i like it :)

looking good! problem is with taking the cover off completly is that because you've painted it black will kinda blend in with the rest of the engine bay. I'd leave it with the cover if possible. Loving the polished lettering too :)

i can get the exact match to the turini colour now from autopaint after i badgered them to find it out for me, so getting a match isnt a problem. if anyone wants details drop us a pm and i'll pass on details :) DH172 on here had his done, and apparantly it is indeed a perfect match

i give mine an autosol / megs metal polish every month just to keep it from pitting, and just before a show. guessing it may go to every fortnight/weekly when the gritter trucks come out. but it only takes 10mins max to give it a going over

yellow pages - machine polishers. then just take your car down and see how much they want. i paid £80 to have my three components polished like the above picture. obviously the only downside without buying spares is the downtime whilst it gets polished which is about a day-2 depending on...

you can repaint the centre cap yourself - just get hold of the correct paint. ixell (brand) code: 205-110 and just spray it back up for a nice finish. bonnet can be tricky so just ask around for a quality bodyshop, and in my experience when it comes to bodywork you really do get what you pay...

you can go to halfords/B&Q or a similar hardwear shop and purchase a little straight coupler and rubber tubing that will extend it. if your struggling i know halfords sell it (although its relatively expensive) as on my old car i had to extend it for ease of fitting a v6 spoiler.

just send your pics in with a cover story. got my old 1.2 in lol

hi mate pm box is cleared now, so try me again :)

riri - cant pm you back as its saying you've disabled pms?

get em sent then lazy arse :rasp:

^ lol i remember the state those badges turned up to me in ;)

girlfriends having the problem with the dark photo background on hers, will they be sending new settings out for it, or is it worth taking it back for a complain?

price of paint plus postage plus about a fiver depending on time taken. For the meggy badges its more than that cos theres a lot more work involved

its ok you can keep feeding my ego ;)

i took mine off without removing the front bumper. find an old butter knife or similar in the garage. then slide it into the recess and you'll feel the triangular wedge clip things. diffiuclt to describe but if you put the knife in and then flick it downwards they should just pop out.

ahhh, she may have been right then god knows who that was then. yep still do the badges give us a pm with what you want doing and i'll sort you out

;)

black gold cover, polished plenum :approve:

dont bother, looks crap unless you get it remoulded like Has did.

these ones? I got them from my local graphics place

mrs saw you mate, i missed you though. She said she thought it was a 172 though so didnt post up a spotted, but thought it may have been you

cant believe i missed these lol

^ lol similar to me, i live 3 miles from work, bike most of the time, have kncoked up 12k when my car was in the bodyshop for 3months

the top 'pops off' lol and its got a circular battery in iirc. i need to change mine as well as im having to press from close range before it actually works lol

i'd budget for £200. however if your not particularly fussed over quality you could get it done for half that. personally in your scenario i'd use it as a good excuse to go stealthsport and get a carbon kevlar one.

should have gone halfords and got them to paint match mondial blue for you, but other than that i like the blue and orange theme.

do like that interior, but then again i liked it on the ph2 lol

these yours josh?

hope shes gone to a good home! recieved the bits off you btw :)
