Patrick, your passenger door looks a slightly different colour...you done a dodgy paint job or is it just a play of light! ;)

Can't beat a good claying...been using it for years and makes the paint feel like glass! Just thinking of getting a machine polisher?!?! :confused:

Good effort, its crying out for some sportlines now :D
Strangely enough, when I had a ride in Darth Revan's, I was very impressed with the Pro-Lines. If I do it, it'll be pros I reckon

Hmm... I can't see the difference in pic or real life. But oddly enough, that door did have some repairs done in it about 6 months ago.

Had an idiot in a MK1 Leon come to my house at 7:30am, made me wake up early to come and buy my old seats only to find out they would not fit.

Dont know why this idiot thought they would fit in his car and why he could not have told me he had a MK1 first before coming. Then again, I should have asked what car it was, but the ad did state MK2 interior!! Some people cant read [:@]

Im pretty sure u adjust the mirror right into the car and then pull the glass out and you should c 4-5 clips to release the cover . Pop them off and remove the wing mirror cover !!

This.

Do NOT just try to pry the covers off. You'll snap clips

You'll be surprised how easily the glass comes out. Then it's dead easy to just push clips in and pop the cover off

Went on a eco and safty driving course in work. I could do with track day tuition to balance it out

Haha, I bet you could! Did you learn much? Just on about constant checking mirrors? Cruising up to junctions and traffic lights when you can see they're on red, turn engine off if you are stopped for 30 seconds or more etc?

You'll be getting fobbed off then mate.
Normal practice for Seat to blame the dealers and vice versa.
It's just a polite way of say f*ck off

So today just after lunch I notice a missed call on my mobile. I check and there's a message...

...from the dealership, to say...

...we've ordered you a new headlight unit for the N/S and once it's in we'll arrange fitting.

GET IN THERE!!! To be fair the guy from the dealership didn't sound too happy but I don't have to live with him and my lil' old car gets a shiny new pair of headlights :funk:

To top it off today both me and the missus have manged to save £65 per month combined on car insurance - that'll pay for the FPN that comes through later this month.
