  1. Yes, H+S and having had a downpipe and a H+S up pipe fitted the fitter asked before starting if the uppipe was off ebay as some of them aren't a very good fit!
  2. Couple today on the roof carpark at Bluewater. Blue newage wrx, nice dark grey hawkeye and a silver classic leaving as I got there.
  3. I've just come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. Could it just be the illumination wire come out at the back?
  5. Another shout for rm tyres from me. I was being quoted about £650-700 for four tyres, that's including our special discount rate sir, yeah right!!! RM came up with £396! Happy with that, been using them for about 5 years now
  6. Not a fan of the gt wings, but it does suit that car imho
  7. Could be they are also a door dinger hater and thought by parking next to a quality car that's well looked after they might not be dinged themselves. Having said that, I parked next to a merc ML the other day, try to avoid 4x4's but didn't have any choice. Looked a bit shabby tho'. When I was walking back woman has her door open on mine while she sorts the kids out in the back, AND the shopping trolley is pushed up against my bumper. She had reversed into the space so would have had to push the trolley between the parked cars, but not thinking about that!!!! When I come back after about 5 minutes, car is gone and trolley is left in the space between the cars!! Pretty much everything I hate about some peoples attitudes when parking and respecting other people's property!!
  8. "having somewhere you can trust is the key point, but your as good as the staff you employ. People that take time to listen, advise accordingly and deal with customers will find them spending more money, more often. " Very, very true!
  9. Have to say it would be nice to have a specialist closer to home. Looks like a good set of services you have in the list. From the sales point of view how about some of the jap tuners, hks, blitz, jun etc, and then steering clear of boy racer stuff/brands if you know what I mean. Might be a trade off between selling quality stuff and mass market things that everybody can get or afford, or just a healthy balance of the two. You see or hear of all these demo cars in Japan but it would be nice to be able to actually see the items on the shelf.
  10. Loonybin in the usual sort of place and then I followed a blue blobeye down the M2 for a mile or two
  11. Dunks last night by Medway police station, followed by a silver classic, 7.15'ish. I was waiting at the lights going the other way.
  12. ROAR this afternoon on Longfield road coming through the temporary lights, and not far behind him a silver classic. Also a P1 hiding up in Cobham
  13. Hayward and scott for all things exhaust, down the bottom of page? http://www.haywardandscott.com/results.asp?category=13
  14. I'd never really noticed a difference in height until I saw one of the pics you took on the motorway on the way to the gathering lol!! The standard stuff was way too hard and knocking like a good'un so I went with AST. Well pleased with it, much quieter and adjustable too. Don't normally have it on the stiffest settings, far from it, but ran it for a few miles on the softest setting and it was like driving a jelly lol!! Wheels look great btw, and the Miltek is quite quiet but does liven up a bit when you get going. Perfect for me as I don't have any soundproofing and everything is 10 times louder!!!
  15. White classic with gathering stickers in Frindsbury yesterday, sorry couldn't see too much sun was pretty low!!
  16. Very nice mate, like that a lot
  17. Beat me to it!!
  18. Nice mate, someone at work has got one and has just had all the suspension apart, moving parts greased, alignment done etc and reckons there is a vast improvement. Not very exciting but I'd ask about that first. Love people that stereotype, had a few people tell me I don't look like a subaru driver whatever that means??!??!!?
  19. Red one at the top of the pic
  20. Great pics people, not biased you understand, but particularly like this one
  21. Knew there was sometihng I'd forgotten. IC Spray light keeps flashing on and off, will go and top it up so it's not too annoying tomorrow.
  22. Saw a very simlar plated car in Strood earlier but it was green, which at night can look very similar to blue, and had the spoiler. Looked like a very nice car, probably just being nosey. When I came back to mine last week there were a couple of kids looking round mine, very closely, one was checking brakes (too close to be looking at the wheels, almost had his head inside the spokes!!) then moved onto crouching at the front of the car looking down the sides (like when you look for dents) while the other was going round pointing out the bits that make it the model it is to his dad. Only about ten, I was quite impressed lol!
  23. Followed Leebo up st vincents this afternoon, in the little rain shower
  24. Agree with the above. Also you don't have to rub the paintwork or apply too much pressure. Paintwork could well look worse initially as you'll get the QD drying in streaks etc so another wash afterwards is imperative. It'll also get rid of any little bits left on the surface, don't go straight into polishing after claying, wash again first! You could also break the bar into two pieces, then should you drop a piece you've got another and I've also found it helps if the clay is warmed a bit, so I keep a piece on the dashboard in a bag in the sun while I use the other piece, and then swap every once in a while. FInally store the clay in an airtight container or sandwich bag after use or it'll go like a rock lol!! Needless to say, if you drop it throw it away.
  25. Could you PM him? Moleywrx I think
