    Looking very nice !!! Are there any decals you can get for the wheel nut covers ? Good to see you flying the flag for VPCUK.....but is it straight ??????? lol

    Hopefully will get to see it in the flesh at the August meet.

    Steve

    Just examined the third photo & it appears that you've applied the VPCUK decal by aligning it with the rear wiper blade from the inside, however, the rear wiper blade fails to park perfectly horizontally, therefore I conclude the decal is 'wonky' !!

    Ah, is this the replacement for the car that got pinched? Looks nice, but not much of a fan of the rims. Did insurance pay out quick? My company is stil arguing with some tw@t who hit one of my cars a while back.

    I really want an R front Bumper, not many white ones about though, i think somebody said there was only 3 in the country. im just waiting on a light coloured one to come up, it would be easier to paint. As for the ECU sorry buddy the car was crushed ages ago. they offered me the car back + £600 or £1500 outright, i couldnt be bothered with the hassle of fixing it so i took the money.

    Sorry Alan.
