  1. After having a run in with the poor efforts of TNT deliveries and seeing what their definition of delicate meant, I managed to source another TRD spoiler from knight racer, with the help of Jezzybabes the spoiler was secured for me and I took a drive up to Milton Keynes to pick it up personally rather than let TNT have their way with it. Got a little blat video of me in the Dartford tunnel on my phone on the way - http://media.putfile.com/Tunnel-blat Got up there eventually, after some how managing to turn the wrong way at junction 14 and heading towards santa pod Once I got into the blakelands area, knight racer was not hard to find, considering there was about 5 Supras outside, one of them being the infamous JamieP's beast, that is one very nice car. Popped into Turbo fit and said hello to Sam who cetainly lived up to her very helpful reputation, she phoned Albert up on my behalf and got him to come down and give me my new TRD spoiler Then, whilst chatting outside to Albert, CJ came over and introduced himself and we did the obligatory members stand around chatting for a while, very nice to meet you mate. Made me realise exactly why I joined this club and reminded me of how worth while it is being a member and meeting freindly like minded people. Once back home, took the old spoiler off the car ready to take it to the painters to get the new one sprayed up, I thought it would be a good idea to give them my original spoiler so they can do a colour match without having to have the car there all day. Then realised once removed, actually how atractive the supra is without the spoiler, check it out As soon as the spoilers painted I'll get it fitted and put some piccies up. But thats one whole day well spent totally devoted to the Supra.
  2. Panic over, new spoiler purchased, thanks for you help Jez, credit to you.
  3. Cheers Nic, I have one last place to try and then its you.
  4. I know mate, I was like a kid before christmas last night, I had my whole day planned around getting the spoiler prepared and fitted. Learn from my misery though, make sure you check the whole thing out before signing for it. I didn't even have to unwrap mine as the damaged parts were all hanging out of the bubble wrap already
  5. Well, I've just recieved, and refused, the TRD spoiler that I bought from Jezzybabes a few weeks ago. I must stress, its not down to Jez, the spoiler appears to have been drop kicked around TNT's depot overnight causing some serious unrepairable damage. So, I'm now looking for another one, If anyone has one for sale, let me know. Cheers.
  6. Nokia or nokian, can't remember what they're called, but I hear only good things about them.
  7. Erm, yeah /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_oops.gif
  8. Your right, but I didn't see where he said he wanted metal ones.
  9. I thought kumho's rated better that nankangs, I've never used or heard of the frankentstein ones you mentioned. I had nankangs on my mr2 tubby when I got it, they were on there about a fortnight, then I nearly died in the wet due to lack of grip and the tyre bloke said the nankangs were to blame. Everyone in the mr2 club also said the guy who put the nankangs on the car must be 'not of a sound mind' to put them on.
  10. paid off morgage at the age of 22, I'm doing something wrong.
  11. there are a few to choose from, whifbitz does most of them I believe. http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/images/parts/seibon/front%20lips/supra_large.jpg http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/images/parts/whifbitz/suprafrontspoilerfront.jpg http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/images/parts/suprabodykittoyotacopy.jpg Oh, and you might want to check your question mark button on your keyboard, it appears to have stuck
  12. Mine was on when I got the car, I like it though. Not the best pic, I'll get another tomorrow
  13. Jezzy, I hope at some point during this whole weekend you've spent fixing your car, that you devoted a little time into getting some bubble wrap for my TRD spoiler your sending me?

    Sexy Supra, I'm sorry to see your getting soooo much flak about this, I'm actually a little ashamed for some of the comments in this thread. Enjoy your new car, and get some piccys up of your new toy ASAP, A guy recently joined and posted in the new members section and he drives a really nice GTO, have a look. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=83500
  15. Yup, I wouldn't get the locking ones, some little shite tried to steal mine and ended up pulling the whole valve out giving me a flat tyre I was unable to inflate

    Out of interest, what was wrong with your NA?

    Did you do any reading on the GTO before you bought it? The parts on them aren't cheap, I know you'll say the Supras are expensive as well, but you'll be buying more for the mitsi. Economically, they are pricier than the Supra, simply becuase of maintainance cost.
  18. Ahh, ok cool, I was hoping the question would definitly show so that I could show my thoughts about this fools product to everyone that looks at the item
  19. When you ask the seller a question, does it show in the main page of the ad?
