Good tip! You sure it won't take my paint off though? Some guy posted nail varnish remover I think. Not be trying that again..:whistle:

haha ive used it a few times and i havent had any problems. if you think paint might be coming off wash it with water between scrubs. It should come off pretty quickly so paint damage should be minimal :)
 
:cry: Utterly heart broken! Slid on ice and hit a 3ft thick reinforced concreet, terrorist proof wall! Needs a new headlight bumper and wing! And possibly worst of all, i was in a cue of traffic going to work, cue much ripping of pi55 and a very hurt pride. Hope the family aint expecting many christmas prezzies, but the body shop boys are getting a nice fat christmas bonus. And to top it all i was going to get snow tyres fitted after work, ah well im just off to cry in the corner...

Cheers mate, body shop is pretty busy atm. Hopefuly get it sorted soon as possible, im kinda stuck without it, due to there being no public transport where i live!
 
Mine's gone to my friends place of work for a new uprated clutch, a Wavetrac LSD and a re-con'd low mile gearbox to go in. Gear linkages re-aligned and adjusted where need be, full fluid flush of the brakes and gearbox and a 42 draft VW shifter bushing set to be fitted.

Winter prep for next year's track time ;)
 
Got another Alpine stereo to change with my current Alpine, Powerflex top mounts and dogbone bushes for when I get my coili's fitted next week, goodriche brake hoses, bigger rear brakes purely for looks and hopefully decat and sports cat to come in a couple of days time and yet the spending continues.
 
Got a quote back from the body shop for my incedent i mentioned yesterday. £1300!:scary: Cue long phone silence and "are you sure?!" Then a resounding "oh" when told ut wasnt a mistake. Frantic scouring of ebay sees me awaiting delivery of a headlight and wing delivered for £120 and in negotiations for a bumper for £200. This is after the body shop telling me that they cant get second hand spares from ANYWHERE!

Yea, well i only need the bumper wing and head light, ive already got the light and wing, but there isnt much choice for FR/cupra bumpers, its probs easier to get a LCR bumper, but im not keen on making it look like somthing its not, especialy since it is a pretty good spec car as it is.

yeah you got that right mate, i just got my hands on a FR one for £170 but i havent seen any. If you got a scrappy near you it might be worth a look there?
 
No decent scrappys within 200 miles mate, i live on the very north coast of scotland. Found one on the bay that looks promising tho. Body shop was quoting for brand new parts from seat so me getting the bits should bring the quote down a wee bit.
 
ah yeah only a little bit far to travel :lol: you could get the cost down quite a bit probably by getting the parts, then spraying them but fitting them all yourself

Haha, yea we have to travel 100 miles to get anywhere. Yea, that is tomorrows plans, negotiate a better price with them, needing it quick as possible so if i could fit the parts and them just give it a quick blow over would be ideal for me.
