Have you checked the vosa mot book? I'd want written proof to say its illegal, not an opinion. My gen5 had a noisy back box and passed the mot no problems. Don't give into them mate, go on vosa site and confirm it

Don't get them sand blasted unless you are willing to spend several hours/days blowing the grit out of them. Fully strip them and have them soda or acid stripped.

See, now that kinda thing from the Police really pisses me off. I had the same kinda thing happen to me by some fucking retard off duty copper who followed me onto my driveway. He was the one who gave me the producer for my horn not working - technically it did. He left our 'discussion' by saying that he would leave it for 3 days until he was back on duty to let me know if he was going to do me for reckless driving.
When I took my signed paperwork for the producer to the cop shop, I told the officer who I was dealing with about the cop and what he had said on my driveway. He said I should make a formal complaint.
By saying he 'may' check up on you is neither one thing or the other. He either has an official problem with your car or he is taking the piss and messing you around.
An off duty police officer in civilian clothes and I'm guessing his own vehicle is playing a dangerous legal game pulling you. Get the complaint in with the correct authorities mate. They have to be in uniform and in a police vehicle.

Plastic bags, electric tape and a bit of wd40 to protect the electrics. Gunk is your friend, take your time and check everything twice

Road trip!

No worries mate, you know where I am now if there's anything else

I used to put it on the dash or on a screw on a south facing wall. Never had any probs with it, kept the fibreglass battery topped up ok. I'll put a photo on when I get 5 mins, if that ever happens!

I'm in Bingham, 20mins for Loughborough. Happy to collect and bring to rising sun if required mate.

I had one on a previous car, had the panel on a wall, it's got a nice long cable. Worked ok. It's sat in my garage not attached to anything now. I'd loan it to yer if you weren't so far away

Problem with car covers is the car has to be dry before you put them on, Unless you use a breatherble one. Once bird poop gets on a car the acid burns the paint, have to wipe and clean as it happens.

There used to be a paint available in the late 80's early 90's that was designed for brush painting on cars. It was quite thick and flowed into the brush marks, took forever to dry! You can roller gloss paint, but you would really need to wet flat and polish it for and kind of shine.

Powder coating shouldn't do any damage to your wheels. I've had bike frames and wheels done with zero hurt. There are a few really good powder coasters out there that just do car and bike bits, triple s is a prime example.

It's all in the prep work. I used to spray cars/bikes/planes etc, and the more time we spent getting it ready the better. I once took 4 days prepping a set of bike panels, a bit excessive but it needed to be spot on. It's true you get what you pay for, £2000 should get you a decent respray in metalic. But £500 could get you the same in a solid colour, depends on how much time they spend on the little dinks etc.
