I love it. Talking about Supra replicas though... I once saw a cappucino (the Suzuki not the hot drink) with a Supra kit on it.. it looked.. for want of a better word - bent.

Still have all of these taking up space.... any interest? Will only post the steering wheel or centre caps, seat / air cleaner need to be collected.. If people are scared because there are no prices, I would guess (but open to offers): an old Supra 3 spoke (non airbag) steering wheel in terrible condition (someone obviously stuck a cover on it and ripped it off) a job for someone who wants to re-trim and does not want a boss 20 quid posted Rear seat lower section in good condition no rips 20 quid collected Original alloy centre caps - in SZ silver but old and a bit dirty.. may clean up? These have to be valuable no? 30 quid posted Original air cleaner unit - SZ 20 quid collected

I have a trade policy with Tradex, works out quite well as I tend not to keep my cars more than 6 months and always have 2-3 at a time..

So he is some kind of fisherman.. bet the car stinks..

To be fair to them, they are usually pretty good.. and Im a fan of the Welsh accent too... ! Is it older than 10 years? If so, simples..

Im wrong - not the first time certainly wont be the last time... Diplomatic plates British diplomatic car plate. See also: List of country codes on British diplomatic vehicle registration plates Since 1979 cars operated by foreign embassies, high commissions, consular staff, and various international organisations have been given plates with a distinguishing format of three numbers, one letter, three numbers. The letter is D for diplomats or X for accredited non-diplomatic staff. The first group of three numbers identifies the country or organisation to whom the plate has been issued, the second group of three numbers is a serial number, starting at 101 for diplomats (although some embassies were erroneously issued 100), 400 for non-diplomatic staff of international organisations, and 700 for consular staff. Thus, for example, 101 D 101 identifies the first plate allocated to the Afghan embassy, 900 X 400 is the first plate allocated to the Commonwealth Secretariat. 101 D 101 101 D 101 900 X 400 900 X 400 A limited number of "personal" plates, bearing a similar format to earlier civilian registrations, are issued to embassies and high commissions for use of their ambassador or high commissioner. For example, the United States embassy is allowed to use the registration USA 1 on one of its fleet of vehicles; Zimbabwe's high commissioner has ZIM 1 and South Korea's ambassador ROK 1 - 'Republic of Korea'. The North Korean embassy, however, had to buy a vanity plate: PRK 1D .[46]

No, the diplomatic plates have a D in the middle and have to be removed once the diplomats sell them.. I always wandered about this as a car near me has the X plates.. maybe military? Anyone know?

Depends how old it is, shoudl generally be straight forward, especially if its older than 10 years. Contact the DVLA if in doubt.

Hear these guys are also good and reasonable. http://tmclondon.co.uk/ Have not used them myself though.

yep, use a fork to prise them off evenly or two teaspoons either side. Be gentle!

Maybe this one goes over the original pillar and dive_popo's replaces it?

Looking at the Japanese on the label it just says Pillar meter bar for Supra, would say aerotop if it was specific. Price in yen interestingly converts to 65 quid!

I was cruising around london in my R34 GTR a couple of years ago - which I thought was a fast car - and then I saw a R35 in my rear view mirror on my bumper. We had soem fun through the streets but it was very clear that it is a very special beast.. Power, without control, will not beat it. - well thats my thought anyway!

thats tasty!

I recently (March) bought a 2007 manual DB9 in black with 23000 miles from an Aston dealer for 50k and if you go for one with higher mileage and the auto box it is pretty easy to pick one up for 35k.. so I am wondering WHY..........?

Gone, on the lookout for a twin turbo now! Bought myself another MX5 over the weekend for a donor car.. kind of too nice to break though.... hmm...

Many thanks! Lets see what happens today! Nails have been bitten off already.....

Awesome, what a great job....

Took CJs advise and here it is, finishing tomorrow so looks like its going to be a bargain for someone!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160795271751?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649

There is the wheel place on the Old Kent Road in between the Tesco and Asda which do refurbs.. have not used them so cannot comment on quality..

Actually if anyone wants to swap welcome to pop over and we can swap quickly and I will of course pay. Woudl work for some of you guys who are driving around in a donor car while the main car is being worked on etc and you want to keep the car watertight / dont want the hassle of strippign it out etc! Im in Wapping London E1W. My door is basically fine, cant notice unless you look close up, pictures are posted in my for sale ad. Will also supply coffee / biscuits!

Bautiful mate. What do you think needs doing for the MOT and is the only paintwork that needs doing to the front bumper? How faded is the rest of the car - do you think it woudl be difficult to match the colour? Any smoke form the engine? Sorry for the questions but this could be a lot of fun for the spring! Dont suppose you know anyone that would trailer it to my garage in Maidenhead?

Have some rust on the bottom of mine, not much but probably easier to replace than repair.. Its a 93 NA but does not make any difference really! Would need it either local or delivered to London.

Anyway I went to Fiji for my honeymoon it was beautiful but the service was rubbish so would not necessarily reccomend it.. Maldives for pure romantic beauty would be my reccomendation. Or Tokyo and get some JDM parts while you are there and see the cherry blossom in the spring!
