    that wsas a year ago, i now have a flat spot on the anti roll bar and a a flat spot on my sump plug :D

  4. they only asked on monday if they could shoot it for a full feature on tuesday afternoon,.at 1st it was no then decided to pull a late nite at the unit to prep it for the shoot. ment i had to tottally strip the tramonts, flat the lips down and hand polish the lot, wash and polish the car inside and out after not bothering for over 2 months :lol: . theyve bin textin me all week and say itll be in the coming issue B)

  5. ive never understood the whole bonnet bra thing meself. ive seen paint lifting on cars due to traped water seepin in to previous chip. personally im not a fan, some people like the look of them but i just cant see the practicallity of them.

    why spend money on paint work on your car thats used then winje about a small chip in the paint. i get people coming to me on a regular basis wantin front end resprays because of a few chips only to come back again in a few weeks time for exactly the same reason.

    christ, id only done 20 mile after painting the loop before e38 and there was a chip in the front bumper, did i cry, did i f**k!

    and as for taping up the front of a car :huh:

    why do front end styling on a car you use daily and not show it off while on the road.
