Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. Smoking's not bad for you either, they said so in the 50's so it must be true.

Steve, if I'm bored later can I take some pretty pictures if it's still clean?

The colour's marvellous, there's one identical in the next road to me and it looks brilliant in person.

Unless you're racing, quite categorically, no.

They both look great, I totally forgot about this though, sorry. If you decide to do it again, let me know and I'll try to come and take some fancy pictures.

To some degree, I agree with Toby, from another angle, maybe not. Some of the "flat" look to the paint, I think, is due to the camera you've used. If you'd had someone taking some lovely, correctly set, DSLR pics, a lot more people would be creaming over it. Looks good for a first try...

I also will. So joe will be too.

That looks awesome, the interior looks sublime now, just the wheels letting it down. Get cracking.

Bit late no Steve? Will be busy as anything!!

Take a picture of under the bonnet, as long as the AC pipes run the way way it'll be fine. Fitting it yourself is very easy aswell, as long as the system is already empty (which if it's not working, it will be).

Amazing stuff mate, can't wait for some proper pics/vids etc.

f**king loser.

Serious thread alert. Welcome back Willcrook. Looks like you've got decent plans for the trophy.

Very nice indeed. Cracking place to be and a decent amount of power to play with.

Sorry? You took a car into bmw for warranty work and didn't leave with a courtesy car?

Windows are silly easy to wire up. You have a live, this live travels down a wire when you pull a switch one way, and down another when you pull it another. Basically, if you have a friend with a working ph2, you can work out the wiring in 10 minutes flat.

I was about to say the same. As much as you like doing things yourself, some powdercoaters offer such a cheap service now it might not even be worth it. £20 a wheel for you and using all your time, or £20 a wheel for someone else and use your time doing more on the car itself :) How's the...

Him and Nick and finally tying the knot?

Indeed I do. Just be wary of where you're leaving the wheels for that week,without a decent level of temperature, even after a week the lacquer may not be truly hard.

IME yes. Only thing is, white primer does tend to be thinner, so a little harder to apply properly and you seem to get more runs. I've only ever used cheap cheap white primer, so it may not be the case with expensive primer. Good work on the sanding with the RB, if you do the same again I'm...

Re your question, if you use grey primer you will (unless you apply a monumental amount of colour) end up with a slightly darker finish when the lacquer bonds with the colour. As for what to buy, I think they do quite good sets on eBay? I've always used simonez stuff and had good results...

I'd say get the steering wheel re-trimmed but at a 7th of the cost of the car I'd say it's not financially viable.

If it's raining there too, I wouldn't want to go get it anyway!

Looks awesome but spacers are needed.

Price and a half! Jesus! They're aren't half some bargains around atm! Good buy you ginger clepper.

I don't see the point in it, at all. CS works perfectly fine in browser.

As said, the guide on here gives you all you need.

Magic. Can't wait to see some proper pics and see where you go with it, if anywhere at all.

For that style you have three choices really, cup splitter, carbon spiller (as said KTEC or streamline), or a skoda fabia splitter. The fabia splitter is 1/10th of the price, bendy, but does require the ends snipping off (only with scissors) so that it'll fit.

Cracking work ginger, but your lack of pics is disappointing. I realise you're busy working away, but taking a full set of pics of that one would have been a great portfolio piece.
