I`m not gonna lick any **** here cos I waited a long time for this.....lets just say it`s good to have a clean car again.
I dont know who got the **** job of cleaning it up but he did a good job...not perfect but good.
I will have a really good look tomorrow. I did notice that the gap between the side sills where the **** is in a little gulley still a bit brown there........maybe a bit more T-cut and I can get it 100%
I would like to thank Mike Wood for his help and I know he`ll read this so thanks mate, but it took long enough???
All I need now is to get my rear spoiler fixed as some to55er tried to nick it and I could`nt swing that on the warranty claim
I`m also getting a price from a bodyshop to get the side bumpers fitted and painted as I think the look trick...and maybe some clear side rear and front indicators. Anybody know how much for that lot?
Mike.....callipers still look **** mate!
And a new set of wheel nuts would have been nice as brown does`nt compliment my silver...yes...silver wheels very well.
Can you sort the wheel nuts or do I get them from my dealer?
Oh and it`s a bit more nervous and lively now with bigger rubber.
Does it handle more to my liking.......not really tried it yet.
A BIG THANKYOU TO ALL THE BOYS AT WELCH GROUP IN CAMBRIDGE for sorting the clutch master cylinder and basically for taking on someone else`s ****.

No worries Andy.
Hows your overboost problems?
Have you been on a reliable dyno for power figures?

Question

Arron,

I know there have been many threads concerning your car problems.....but just wanted to ask - did you try to get a respray/total replacement rather than a t-cut job to restore the paint.....??? Any financial reward for your hassle ???
Glad that its back to normal (nearly!)...

So Birdy do Prodrive and SUK know that you were Rallying in it before the paint, Wheels, Brakes died? LOL

Next time don't drive it like a woman and treat it the way you treat Steve when he's got his back turned to you (Ooh)

The only compensation I got was a bloody good deal on 18" wheels and thats for me to know and you to find out.
No seriously I dont know what treatment my car was given but it shines again.
Untill the next round of the Mintex Championship eh Harj
