  1. Yea powder coat would be well more expensive mate. Can get specialist wheel paints and laquer that is much more protective. Full set of anthracite to do four wheels is £30
  2. Nothing overly exciting to be honest but I am going to paint them this weekend either anthracite or gun metal Big thanks to Jdmb and skatz for these
  3. I like white on white myself but gunmetal or silver would suit as well
  4. Happy Anniversary Cravo!

  5. I actually love that colour. And yes Dave was a bell end of monumental proportions
  6. You know I did think this over the weekend, i would have had it for £2k though a couple of months back
  7. This little lot over the last week or so
  8. Been up for sale since Jan 2012 minimum when i was looking for my T Sport. Thing is they could have knocked off the costs for the classified ad for the last 24 months worth of advertising at £15 a go and probably sold it before now.
  9. Several things this week Various Bulbs and part of my exterior mods
  10. New person at work "I really want your car" Made my day that did. Haha.
  11. Would fit any 17 x 7j or 17 x 8j without much if any stretch ok.
  12. Would also want a pillars and headlining if you were to start doing it matey.
  13. If Ant doesn't want the facelift dash I would AMS. Orrrrrrr if ant does and wants to use it to have a go I would buy it from you fella once it's done
  14. Set up a camcorder mate or something that's ridiculous. Have you upset anyone recently?
  15. I might let you practice on mine mate when I get it Pennies in hand of course
  16. I haven't got one and I'm staff Will have again very soon though
  17. All common faults dubs if you look around matey. With the alfa it was a total gamble I knew of the issues but a lot of people said they had never had a prob. Risked it. Backfired. Live and learn. Funnily enough the only cars that have never given me grief have been the 2zz ones. Corolla 1.6 T3 and the 2 gen 7's I've owned.
  18. Oh god I hate to do this as well E46 320d. I had one. Wasn't nice. Felt dated and tacky inside compared to the gen 7 which isn't the most sophisticated and Issues were maf again Lower control arms and leaking air con. Worst issue was again the turbo swirl flaps breaking and going into the engine and destroying it from inside. Have you though along the lines of an accord estate at all. Can get a decent one for not too much plus they are bulletproof and well equipped.
  19. Tell me about it. The engine management light was on so I bought a code scanner. Guess what happened it went off the morning it arrived all on its own and no codes
  20. Nah not at all If I can help someone avoid making the same mistakes though I will Big problem is that it gives similar symptoms for each. No power, crappy idle, difficult start up so you could get lucky and fix one of them and get it right first time. Orrrrrr you could fix all 4 and it's the last one that needed sorting.
  21. It's the 1.9 jtd multi jet mate made by fiat it's in the Alfas Saab and Vauxhalls bud. Waterpump fails and flings the Cambelt off. EGR failures, MAF failures and swirl flaps on the turbo fail flinging bits into the engine killing it. Vac hoses split from the turbo too. All cost between £75-£120 each to sort plus labour. I made a big mistake.
