I might just hack saw the bolt off and zip tie the thing in place instead.

I'm clever me, with the word stuff n'that.

That would be my plan, whatever Mini I get it's having the 1275 engine dropped in. If there's one like that about they'll be more in the future. :approve:

I don't have any money Noah, i'm saving for a full belt service on the Clio, that's my priority atm, but cheers anyway dude. :D Although I have been looking tonight just to see what's out there, not that I can afford one. Found this, it's only a 1L and it has a few problems but it'd be a...

Noah found his on Gumtree, looks like that's the place to search then.

I really want one of these now!!! Where did you find your one mate and how much was it? (If you don't mind me asking):o

They will charge you for any change to your policy during the years cover, unless you're with Brentacre, they couldn't give a flying f*ck what you do to your car as long as you tell them. :D

You'd never get a grinder in the hole of the heat shield it's too small, even if you could the backbox is in the way. I'll try and get hold of some vice grips and see if that works. This isn't a photo of my car but here's the hole in the heat shield, which is the only way of getting at the...

I'm trying to change my rear exhaust hanger/bracket, 2 of the bolts unscrew fine but the third one just spins and won't come out. I can feel that the locater nut is turning with it, i'm assuming these things are tac welded onto the chasis and the weld has broken, i've tried getting some pliers...

Yep, i'm up for a pint and a plate of food. :approve:

Hello to you sir, what are your plans for the car?

I had a MK4 Gti absolutely sh*t on me the other month, it sounded like it was running some serious boost if the turbo whistle and waste gate noise was anything to go by. Looked completely standard from the outside aswell, certainly took me by surprise on one of the many duel carriageways...

He's a filthy old bugger so he'd probably go for the wrong'un anyway. :evil: There's no difference in your accents to my ear, all you white people sound the same to me.

You all sound like Ozzy Osbourne to me, and if you carry on i'll get my car to give Phoenix tits a disease at CSS.

It's the only way they'll learn Luke.

No girl would let their car get as filthy as mine, at least my cars bigger than your car and it doesn't have silly girls name either. :rasp:

I think you've answered your own question Noah, Cobra Classics CS. You didn't put any negatives for these ones and they keep the standard look, but will fit harnesses and they look cool, do they tilt forwards enough for good access to the back seats?

Oxfordshire? :S Warwickshire my son, CV35. Bloody black country accent northerners. :nono:

Petty good tbh, it looks exactly the same as other peoples grills they removed to spray. I slotted some paper in between the grill and the radiator so I didn't cover it in paint, I did get a tiny bit of overspray at the bottom where the grill meets the bumper, due to masking tape lifting a...

No-one would dare as i'm quite scary, like the boogieman. :evil: Even if they did I wouldn't be able hear them over the exhaust anyway.

If your avatar's anything to go by, you've more than made up for it. :cool:

My God that Golf looks good, when's she going to paint it a decent colour? :p

I was under the car today and noticed that the exhaust clamp that secures the back box to the centre section was severely rusted with holes in it, basically it looks like a lace doily. Will this ECP one be alright as a replacement...

Mine's flithy Iceburg greyish with an Alsation hair interior, so i'll need a section for people that can't be arsed to clean the f*cking things.

EFA = edited for accuracy. ;)

EFA. ;)

Ah right'o cheers mate, i'll leave it untill the dash needs to come off for something in the future, probably white dials. But i'm a very lazy man, so I think i'll blank it for the time being. ;)

So I do have to remove the whole dash and mask up the clock surrounds? Is there no other way of getting the trim off then?

Torx screwdrivers, i'm off to buy some tomorrow as loads of the Mk2 interior is screwed in with them. I'm in the process of spraying loads of bits, but the grab handles and electric mirror/door handles are torx screws. Flat head screwdrivers will undo some of them, but they're all different...

I've searched loads but other than removing the whole dash and masking it up, I can't seem to find a thread or any guides on how to remove the centre console surround for spraying. The bit around the clock and vents, anyone know how to do this or am I just sh*t at searching?
