  1. No doubt I will be corrected by some of our resident Police officers, but fronts can be done as long as they allow 75% of light through. Surrey Police have a devise, the name escapes me, that they use on roadside stops. They can demand that the vehicle has the tint removed there and then and if not the vehicle can be impounded for failure to comply with some road traffic act/MOT thing!!
  2. I put these on my calipers when I refurbished them. There is no sign of them peeling or anything!! Easy to apply.
  3. Hi mate, I have some spare from my heater unit LED conversion that you are more than welcome to. PM your address and I will send them out ASAP.
  4. Can't say I hear anything unusual there??
  5. Hi mate, You live locally or were you on the the way through?
  6. Walked past your car while you were on the phone. I was eyeing your car up. You started it up as I was looking at it again on the way back. My wife was embarassed at me staring at it, she said I could go home and stare at mine if I wanted but not at other peoples in a public place, especially while the owner was in the vehicle!! Did you start it up to impress me Car sounded very smooth and was in very good condition.
  7. The main expense with the Supra is modifying. As most of my colleagues will back me up, once you get use to the power you just want a little more.....and then some more....oh yes and then a little more . Naturally once you start doing this, as with any car the costs both for parts and general running go up. Its no big secret just common sense. Hence if you just want a lovely looking, fun car, the Supras it!! Lets face it there are dog ugly dull cars out there like BMWs!! (He awaits the bullets!! )
  8. I hope so mate. Just getting the car resprayed black, but have a trial bumper fitted, TRD spoiler, new veilsdie side skirts and possibly some overfenders, but not sure about these yet!! I really can't wait. My body work has just had it. No matter what I do I just can't get the shine I wan't..
  9. Unfortunately shes and ACCA accountant and CTA tax advisor and as such is very clever at finding out how much i pay for stuff... Thankfully she likes the supra in black!!!
  10. If you had not guessed it will be from Nic. See previous comments.
  11. Its so that I buy it and dont spend the money on addditional body mods. Naturally I wont fit it till after the respray!
  12. Can always count on you Nic
  13. I wouldn't be surprised if some people thought i was, but I have read posts by people who are slowly, maybe not in one lump like me, buying all these replacement parts to enhance the effort put into the respray. I thought to myself, why not!!
  14. I am just about to buy £1200 of brand new shiny exterior trim for the car prior to getting the car resprayed. Is this obsessive, have I overstepped the mark?? My wife certainly thinks so!! The list includes: New facelift headlights. New washer jets. New scuttle and seal. New rubber door seals New rubber window seals New quarter glasses New Front and rear window seals New Upper door mouldings New door window mouldings New front and rear toyota badges New rear supra badge What do you guys think?? When does the cost of a respray go to far!!!!
  15. There is a three claw slash on the Statue of Liberty that might support that. i hope its not this though as that will be a major let down!!!
  16. I agree with the comment regarding the first AVP as being a little poor. This film seems to follow the concept of the earth war? (It's been a while, but I believe these were some of the graphic novel concepts that i once read!!). This is where the whole franchise has needed to move for some time in my opinion. I am a little bored of the whole space battle concept, aliens on earth is such a brilliant move. It also means there are likely to be a string of sequals and potentially a mini-series on sky!!!
  17. I still feel that they missed out not having a nice string quintet
  18. First week I had my car I went to turn in a drive that had a big dip and scuffed the corner of my front bumper. This wouuld have been OK except for the hundreds of people walking by!!! One guy even stopped to tell me I had scuffed it....doh!! I so wanted my exhaust to be quieter to draw less attention as I drove away.
