Are you thinking of changing the colour on the rims, when you get them?

You could rub the plastic down mate and get a smooth finish before colour coding?

Know what you mean with the plastics but either route not cheap.

Hello mate, got the same problem, along with a few others on the forum with Estates, as the boot lamp also works off a microswitch in the boot lock mechanism. Can't just buy the switch, got to buy the whole lot, last time I checked the local Stealers wanted about £20+vat. Will get round to sorting ...

Hello mate, would love to be in your shoes with dilemma on what to buy for 20K! One practical question, do you have a garage or lock-up to keep it from the weather? No experience of camper vans but had a few 'classic cars', and if your wanting it as an investment and to keep in show condition then y...

Exactly mate!

BBC knew how much of a stink it would cause, so only announced it after the deal was done. No consultation, no information, no chance of US the licence fee payers having any input to the decision.

10 million people watched the recent race, how many will watch the Olympics?

Spend a few quid on a trim removal tool mate, machine mart do one if you've got one nearby?

Saves alot of time and broken clips, alot easier to wedge behind trim and gently pry the clips out of the lugs.

Liked the pics of the lady 'demonstrator' calmly trying on trainers in the ransacked shop before choosing which ones to nick!

Done it a few times on my estate, once you've got the interior trim off you can pretty much see everything that needs to be undone to remove it, few bolts, disconnect rod for lock, few switches, BUT the main one that caught me out to completely remove the lock and the plastic trim on the outside, is...

Give Barnsley Trading Standards a call mate if you want to check the legal side, usually helpfull, number on Council Website.

Too posh to use Metrodome?!

BBC F1 Forum got inundated with comments after race on Sunday, mostly about the TV rights.

Thing that gets me is that we pay the licence fee yet the BBC didn't consult anybody or the fans and have just gone ahead, done it, then released the detials once the deals been done.

Shinola decision. Not as if Bernie needs anymore money. Think this is a real step back after BBC have built it up with coverage. Used to watch Rally Championship but really lost interest this year with poo coverage on Eurosport. Surely if your an F1 sponser your not going to be happy with losing suc...

Amazed the works computer hasn't barred this post with all the mentions of slipping ring issues?!

Hope you get it sorted Ant.

Good work there matey, really coming along. The debadged grill just brings the front mods together.

Keep practising with the spray work then you can do mine next year!

Next time you do a long trip mate stick some Millers stuff in the tank just to cover all the bases.

Not a permanent fix for limp mode but cures mine for a few months.

U woz robbed mate!

Could do with a bit of work to the interior and headlining, hhmmmmm............who do you know with a sport interior and spare headlining.......................?

Be interested in this also mate, don't want to loose any boot space but miss a bass box.

C&R Enterprises?

Do you mean a Clay Bar mate?

If so local Halfrauds do quite a few different makes these days or tinternet depending on how professional you want to get.

Where abouts are you mate?

Lets hope they are better than some of the 'How To's':- Removal 1. Jack up the car. 2. Remove necessary bolts, pipes and fixings, (see crappy black and white photo to confuse things further). 3. Once all these are undone then simply remove engine. Refit 1. See above but in reverse. Two Spanner ratin...

How long before someone mentions Clarkson and 'sharing' with female staff to save BBC Licence payers money on Sunday?

Just caught up with the thread mate after it gave me too many ideas last time.

The DIY polishing looks great mate!

Going back a few pages but how did you manage to get the armrest lid off without breaking anything? Need to remove mine to retrim.

Cheers
