Simon at ChromeSpray quoted me £100 + vat to do the 2 largest rings, or £120 + vat to do all 6. He might change his quotes next time though. I asked for just the 2 largest to be done and after finishing the rings, the masking tape pulled away sections of the paint and chrome from the surround and the other rings.. He's now doing the whole lot at the original price so might still be a bit sore from that

Hopefully they are of use to you, one way or another. If you do want pristine, you could get a better set refurbed like what I'm having done to my facelifts. Good hunting mate.

I posted them Tuesday lunchtime. So should be with you very soon

Got a box for them now, will be in the post to you tomorrow

With 400,000 views on my vid I've not had any cash back. Did I not check a tick box or something?

My next attempt was going to involve a hair dryer.. I hadn't thought of using a wire cutter at all. Thanks Jamie.

Removed all the bolts as I'm taking the rear wing off and found that the wing has been re-enforced with bitumen sealant. This stuff is incredibly strong. Any suggestions how to remove it? It's the same stuff used to hold the headlight lenses on and that needed baking in an oven to soften it up.

Welcome! Still got my Celica after 10 years ownership. Great cars. Now let's see that Supra!

Yep, you can be on multiple polices. I'm the main driver on 2 cars and was a named on a 3rd. You can't spread your current NCB over multiple polices though. For example my Celica carries the 10 years NCB, the Supra has 0 NCB but the insurer can take into consideration the main bonus so doesn't price me up like a new driver. I still found keeping to the specialist insurers cheaper than going muliti-car. I couldn't get classic on a modified import, so pay just over £400 fully comp on limited mileage. If you want to spread the cost of all the car policies you could always get a new 0% purchase credit card every year. Very handy instant loan on anything. Just don't miss a payment or the deal's off.

A guy I work with has a Cmax and had the same random stalling problem. Eventually the problem turned out to be a bad EGR valve and needed a new crankshaft position sensor. When it was running it ran fine but would just die either when the engine was hot or cold.

Keeping mine, quite like it

It just started snowing in Milton Keynes and is predicted to continue from now into tomorrow. Glad I already got the battery changed on our Rover today. Too many non starts on cold mornings. Supra garaged Celica relegated to the drive

I contacted these guys http://www.chromespray.co.uk They would do all 6 rings for £120 or just the full beam rings for £100. Sent today so am yet to see the quality but anything would be better than my failed effort.

Tried a different Internet browser?

Had something similar on my Celica. Started up, rolled out the garage and switched off. Cleaned the car then started up again and went back in the garage. It couldn't start the next day. Didn't know what was up so had my home start recovery out and he got it going by flooring it while starting the engine. Think the engine got over fueled so needed more air to get going again. Was fine after a 30 minute idle or a good blast.

Sent my inserts of to Essex today for their refurb. Delivery prices from the post office are as follows for just under 2kg. Standard - £4.41 1st class - £7.10 Recorded - £7.95 Special delivery - £9.05 PM me your choice and a delivery address.

Nice one. Not seen those before. Do you want a passenger lens to practice scrubbing the lines out on? The drivers side one has a 5" hole where the full beam is so is pretty much scrap.. Btw, do you want them posted quickly? Reason I ask is 2 inserts fit perfectly into a 12 bottle wine box. I have just the one box unless I can find another wino from work Turnaround time for my inserts is about 10 days.

I am posting my facelift inserts tomorrow to get the chrome re-done so will have a postage price then. Abflug look like a different shape. Would be very cool if you can build that http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?566549-Ab-Flung-Headlights

If you zoom in on the fog light area you'll see that nasty yellow. It is on the underside of the chrome ring and also a patch on the insert itself unfortunatly. It looks like a water stain the way the yellow is contoured, but it is the departed chrome layer rather than dirt.. Structurely the passenger one is fine, the driver side has a slight dremel wheel mark where I had to cut through a pipe which was my old headlight intake. Other than that both are useable/refurbishable. I was going to bin them. Yours at postage cost for both.

I've got a set of pre-facelift inserts knocking about but they are not perfect. Driver and passenger inserts already out but both have yellowing under the fog light ring and a couple of random patches. Any good to you?

Think he said it was a Canon 7D. Sorry, nikon D5100 and a nikkor 50mm F1.8 prime.

Inspiring work mate.

Nice work on the dash! Quite like your black & white look.

It's got a loud one now. I'm done with loud all the time and having to literally shout inside the car to be heard. This should still sound good and get the wife back on side.

Sorry Guigsy, I need it on the V8
