    Headlight removal

    Thats a fantastic idea! I've got to have a go at that. If not then im going to have to hope next weekend is a sunny one! Can't afford for the car to be bumperless for any more than a day really. I'm sorry about being a bit weird about it and I know it shouldn't take long but I have a very nasty...

    Headlight removal

    Thanks, wasn't thinking it'd be that time consuming to be honest, hoped it'd be like my last cars! I don't mind the loss of some skin and tight-ish spaces so is it at all possible to do it with the bumper still attached?

    Headlight removal

    I noticed today that my drivers side dip beam/high beam has blown up, leaving lots of glass all over the inside of the light unit, is it possible to remove the whole unit and not upset its adjustment or will it need redoing? I think the car's fed up with being dirty and is trying to let me know!

    XBOX Ring of death

    Get an Elite, i've had mine since they came out and have had no problems, even after my girlfriends cat threw water all over it, i'll admit it threw a wobbly! Im interested in GT5 but if it's anything like the last then i'll walk away. Much prefer Forza3. A friend had the PS3 and we compared...

    Arch liner removal

    Finally did it today, had a massive battle with the clips and the arch liner but managed to not break anything! Looks alot better and while I was there I did clean the suspension, glad to say it all looks fine with very little marks or rust :) Rest of it needs a clean though. Also spent a bit...

    Pilot Sport 3

    My girlfriend is running the PE2s on her Puma and she likes them, have to say im impressed too although they feel like they want to understeer a bit too much in the wet. Im looking at getting the PS3 when they come out as apparently the wet cornering and braking is much improved, wear is also a...

    My 5GTT

    I admit im not a fan of these but this looks great and they are pretty quick cars. Glad to see it being kept in such great condition! I'd melt for a 205 GTI in Miami blue with red carpets though :wink:

    Arch liner removal

    Thanks, will look when I get time. Im not sure about the cutouts as I have the carbon splitter but they should be fairly easy to find. Was a bit worried about the clips breaking as I had to drive home tonight so i'll give it another go this week.

    Arch liner removal

    Is it just a case of pulling those black rubber clip thingys out? Can I re-use them? Had a bit of a poke around but didn't try very hard to be honest, ended up cleaning up the suspension a bit, rest needs a clean though! I had a small accident (70mph motorway accident) a few weeks ago and all...

    Rear window demister

    Ok thanks i'll have to do some research and have a closer look at it. No snow in Wiltshire so I can't test it again :( The demister is all one unit though. @ Stevie: Have you checked the wiring around the boot for both? Could be a bad earth?

    Rear window demister

    They're all connected as one big unit aren't they? I'll check tomorrow as the car's hidden away tonight.

    Rear window demister

    2 of my element lines appear to have packed up, it's not a major worry as they're out of my line of sight but still annoying! They were working last week and haven't been touched etc. Does anyone know if they're repairable or will I need a new window? Or are they just part of that whole french...

    Speaker surrounds.

    I won't be doing anything with the actual speakers for a while im afraid though they aren't the best, comparing them to Ford anyway, so i'll probably be looking at them in the future. Im just messing around with the surrounds for now, sorting out the niggles before more upgrades :D Whatever...

    Speaker surrounds.

    Could do, although i'll be advised on other 'mods' I could do :wink: Just gotta find out how to remove them now, think there's a thread on here somewhere....

    Haha it's tempting sometimes. Thanks i'll look into it.

    Speaker surrounds.

    Does anyone have a cure for the incredibly annoying vibrations these things give out when listening to music? I was thinking of going into Halfords and seeing if they had any of that spongy stuff, would that work or is something as simple as velcro good enough? Rcently bought the Them Cooked...

    Salisbury Trophy

    Seen LV55 EKC in Salisbury yesterday, thought for a minute some tea leaf had nicked mine!. Was thinking about gunning the Transit but relaxed when I saw the plate, car looked very clean, unlike mine at the mo :wink:

    I don't like my Trophy anymore...

    Isn't that a bit like the Trophy to a normal 182 though? The NSX-R has the same power but it's more expensive, it's all those little things they do to make the car that bit special and to warrant the extra cost. Still though, it was 70k, a damn sight less than Ferrari were charging for their...

    Clio Trophy Average MPG!

    Best so far was up to 36.9 on the motorways, at least until I got bored.... Hovering around 34.5 now. Need to check tyre pressures though as im sure they're well out.

    Is it me or...

    A driver is only as good as his car allows him to be. Although a truly gifted driver can make a crap car perform, it'll never be at the front. Button deserves the championship, he did the legwork at the start of the season and is now doing what he needs to do, least at the moment!.

    Window Tinting

    Mine have been done, front and rear, though not by me. The rears are really dark and actually it does look really good, kinda sets off a red/black colour scheme and they also have the added benefit of stopping cars dazzling you at night. Make sure they're all fitted properly though if you go...

    Diagnostic plug in port

    Can anyone tell me where this is please? I had a go at the dashboard fault finding trick yesterday and it came up with a 't' and 'h'. I'm assuming the oil level sensor won't be too difficult to replace but an injection problem?! The car goes like the proverbial so maybe it's another sensor?.
