thanks matey, I got the work done at AD Panelcraft in Milton Keynes, the numberplate and reflectors are one piece that separates from the bumper, so when I removed it, they just split.. I have some pictures I'll upload when I get home from work
Paulie..
yes.. a rather substantial update. Had a phone call from Ali yesterday telling me I was the luckiest bugger around.. Basically it had slipped 3 teeth and caught again, it had ripped the belt to sheds but thats all the damage there was. so a new cam belt later and I'm up and running again
All in all, happy days..
Paulie..

Unit 18 are good
How much did that company charge to do your rear gloss black? Want mine done but not if it costs a bomb!

Unit 18 sure are good! I'd recommend them every day of the week! I'm picking my car up later on so I'll let everyone know the difference between the 2 maps
They charged me around the 150 mark, but that was for a full rear bumper respray, rear centres done black, centre part of the front bumper sprayed black and all the front grilles and LCR splitter done gloss black too
so a fair amount of spraying done for not too much money Paulie..

I've also had the Jabba map removed and is currently having a Unit18 map added so it won't snap again

you lucky ******* you irish?
Ali is a good boy, the motec maps are very good, i'll be getting one as of when I source more parts and get rid of this naff p-torque one lolglad its back on the road and no further damage done, does mean i wont see it come tuesday tho, was lookin forward to havin a poke around
Well to be honest, its not a massive difference from the standard grey colour so most people probably wouldn't notice it, I personally prefer it with the black front and rear grilles tooDoes sound good, I dont know wheather to get mine sprayed or not...Incase a sell it and need it standard again. Hard choice
just if you get the back done you really need the front done too
Yeah tell me about it.. Couldn't believe it when I got the call.

ha ha well to be honest, I think I'm due some luck. That saturday I nearly chopped my thumb off, my iPhone had a 'catastrophic hardware failure' (as said by apple) and my car tried to blow itself to bits
I have taken her out for a spin with the new map on and I must say its not too bad, obviously being used to the jabbasport map with full boost/torque kicking in all at the same time, makes it feel a touch slower. I have a boost leak that needs desperately sorting out and then it'll go back in for a bit more of an 'aggressive tweak'
What time are you going to be there from/to on tuesday?

well i cant argue with that I noticed the iphone on FB lol good old apple. motec maps seem to be more consistant than alot of other, needless revo will be better but you'd hope so tbh lol
well i got my interview in the centre at somepoint so if thats in the morning i'll be down in the afternoon or vice versa, but either way cars gettin serviced for the 3rd time this year on Tuesday lol
yeah it was just a killer that it happened all within the space of hours lol.. With regards to the map, Ali said that he's got no worries about tweaking it after the car has settled down a bit
Ah, was going to say, if your there later on in the afternoon then I'd pop by.. but that won't be till around 5ish as I would need to get home from work and pick the car up

Adam.. As promised photos of the rear bumper split.
when I was picking my car up from Unit18, I was told I had a boost leak coming from EGR 90degree silicone hose, they had tried to temporary repair but running 40psi on over boost the duct tape was no match for the pressure so I had a go at repairing it.
The culprit
My temporary repair
The repair was done by using some windscreen glue and lots and lots of duct tape, left for a few hours to harden, took it out for a spin yesterday and it seems to of held up, will be getting a new hose as soon as SFS open on Monday
