I get what you mean, I've had the front off to fit quick release fasteners and some of the rusted screws were a bit of a b*stard. Is there a difference in width like on the front bumpers? I've already got stretched tyres and spacers on the back, so hopefully it won't make too much difference.

Sorry to drag an oldish thread up from the dead, but are they easy to fit? I'm assuming they're just a straight swap, but are they any wider than the non-sport bumpers like the front ones are? Cheers

That boot mat is a f**king fantastic idea. Looks like I'm taking a trip t'pound shop.

My mate plastic welded mine and I filled and painted it. I've yet to fit it so I'll have to get back to you about whether or not to bother...

Sorry if this has been asked before. Call me slack, but I've not been able to find out exactly what I need to know. Anyway, I've got a mk2 ph2 dci, and I've got my heart set on Grid Vs with et20 offset. I'm planning on lowering on on coilovers, but I'm just wondering if anyone has this setup or...

I got it from Dunelm, I'm assuming all those other homewares/craft/granny stuff shops will have it. IIRC the minimum dimensions are 1800x1150mm, but the rolls of fabric are usually 1.5m wide. Assuming there's one of those places near you, make sure you find out the width and ask for 2m. I used a...

I have this issue, could someone post a pic of the slot for the relay and the relay itself? I can't find either... I could find a relay at my local scrappy but I have no idea what it looks like.

So I had a leak in my sunroof last week (turned out to be a loose bracket letting water in), so I took out my headliner, sorted the leak and thought "f**k it, this is as good a time as any", bought some black alcantara and some Evostik Impact and got to work. Here be the results.

Pardon me bringing a thread back from the dead a little. I picked up some alcantara today, and I'm stumped on which glue to use. Which did you use, and has it held up alright? Cheers :smile:

Looking nice mate! Know the feels with expensive insurance: At 22 with nine points, mine isn't too forgiving either. Seriously though, declare everything. All it takes is an arsey copper with a keen eye (and there are plenty about), and you're in the s**t. I can recommend this being the...

Yo, thread bump. What is it that DCIs don't like about cones? And where can I get a length of pipe to run my cold feed to the grille? Cheers.

Morning sports fans! Sorry if this is already mentioned on here somewhere, but I can't for the life of me find what I'm looking for. Anyway. I have a 51 plate 1.5 dci Expression, came as poverty spec with no front fog lights. I found a fresh Dynamique my local scrappies, and managed to...

Ah wounder :( got a thread for the 1.2?

Cheers bud. I was only going to clamp the pipe in question (be it the cherry that he got for £10, or some nondescript scavenged s**t), and stick a pikey bracket in there. Whatever fits and gives off a note slightly different to that of the standard box, I'll take it. Like I said, I'm not after a...

Yeah, I downloaded a PDF of the guidelines and only saw a section about a visual check for the cat, but it said nothing about the actual back box from what I saw. I'm thinking I will try my mate's Cherry Bomb, what's the bore of our exhausts so I know which connector to get? I apologise...

I've read up about cutting it at the rear in between the two dots, is that the way you just remove the back box and not the whole thing? I was just thinking of using a basic connector and adding an extra piece of pipe (potentially my mate's Cherry Bomb, but hush hush on that one). Not even...

This is a good looking machine! What's it like removing the back box? Is there a thread on it somewhere? I've been reading up in the old Gaynes manual about sawing it off without having to remove all sorts of s**t but I'd like to see a thread and have something to follow to the letter before I...

Thread bump, y0. Anyhoo I like the personal touches to these. I'm all about not doing what the masses tell you to do to a car and these look good! Anything happen exhaust wise? I'm contemplating a decat, and back box baffle removal or entire backbox removal. Any pointers?

I dropped my ph2 dci down 40mm but it ended up looking more like 50-55 ish, and the ride is diabolical. I haven't changed the shocks and the springs are Apex, so I've kinda pissed on my own pudding there. My point being if you've got the cash for aftermarket shocks then personally I'd recommend...

Nice. Do you need adaptors for the Jap style lug nuts or whatever they are?

I need to check in daylight, I only proved it to myself by downloading a K9K engine manual PDF from Renault and seeing it on a diagram. How much would I need to put aside for a map, and uprated IC? Sounds expensive, plus I wouldn't be completely happy unless it dumps like a snake or a pigeon lol.

THIS. Now normally I'm not too taken by mk3s, but this looks bang on. Erm, Rota Grids? Wheel uneducated.

Good sir, you have just made my day.

No effin way, I thought they were naturally asthmatic lol. So is this now a case of whether or not I'll also be able to whack on an 80 intercooler? Now I'm wanting a dump valve and boost gauge haha.

Didn't think water would be an issue, granted I would've considered mesh to minimise on grit and debris getting in, but if water is a problem I'll steer clear. Worth opening up the standard inlet? Ie by removing the trumpet? By all means tell me explicitly if there will be no point and no change...

Side topic ahoy... Will sending a pipe into the cold air feed from one of the foglight holes make any difference to a non turbo? Even if it's just a minor improvement to throttle response and sound.

Ah, see the geezer I bought mine from over fleabay seemed to have drawn the sword of Damacles and cleaved it in twain. In other words, he f**king butchered it. Had to resort to scavving parts from the originals. Thankfully my stepdad was on hand to do said soldering, because aside from the fact...

Backtracking on the project a little, regarding aftermarket sport seats, an aside question. Have you had any warning lights, error codes or general ECU issues with airbags? Mine is being awkward given the introduction of seats with side airbags (that may or may not have been blown and repacked...

Nice one boss, I'll check it out. (Y)

I knew the emissions thing was different, just didn't know if a cat had to be there for the sake of the MOT. Now to ask the f**ker, what's the best way to remove it and what sort of pipe and fixing will be needed?
