I'm sure I read that somewhere aswell.

Yes, made one for my van a few years ago.

You mean someone making it for you to your spec? Probably http://www.fancyplates.com

Very good.

I'm so used to the acceleration now that it's not scary anymore. I take it easy on the bends and I'm careful of the back end stepping out. The sound of the car when driving in an enclosed space with high buildings on each side is more satisfying than anything else .

It's going to be totally dependent on how often you use this extra power!

I had 2 cracks in one of the skirts, they were just getting worse with the paint peeling off. The previous owner must've come off a high curb. I've repaired them both but now I need to get it painted. I want to get some paint so I can do other bits on the car aswell. The front parts of the skirts that go around the wheel arches are prone to chipping. I'm reluctant to keep going back to a bodyshop to do the work.

There's never anything around here!

T-cut reveals the new paint underneath. I sprayed up a few samples many weeks ago, still too dark. The colour cards that the bodyshops use are too dark aswell.

Thanks Baldy I'm having difficulty finding a stockist.

I'm finding it impossible to get some paint to match the car, it's red 3L2. I've had some mixed at 4 places and it's too bloody dark. I know when a manufacture changes colours on the production line it can produce a variance in the colour . Mine must be like this. Does anyone know of any places that can scan the paint on the car and then mix it to get the right colour. There's 2 places in Cambridgeshire, but I'm from the North East and I cannot find anywhere nearby. Dupont call theirs Chroma Vision. PPG's is called Prophet. I've contacted Dupont, they were no help. Thanks

Nice pooch, she looks sad.

I'm sure it would be appreciated if you explained why, is it too near the sidewall?

You're probably spot on , it might be risky going wider at the moment because your wheels have a low offset.

Me too, I was driving my long wheelbase van . Glad I was going slow.

Yeah, that! Bloody idiot.

According to the EPC the bolts are the same.

A round trip of 700 miles for me.

Correct, we don't have any excuses for not having full size plates. I've just had to fit them.

I would say the opposite, not many standard cars about.

Interesting!

This may be helpful, it's supposed to be a cross section of the front hub with UK brakes. It might be best to verify this first by taking a few measurements.

No.
