Aye. Much apprecado!

So this weeks events:

Paint is lifting on the splitter grrr
Passenger window no longer goes up, nor down
Clutch release bearing is sticking
Camshaft Position Sensor has developed a fault
Someone dented the rear quarter with their door

Everything apart from the dent is easily fixed, well that sensor im not to sure as to where it actually is, but ill find out!

got to admire you, id have popped a cork by now, seems relentlessly problematic to me bearing in mind how much you have spent etc

Lol its guaranteed to ill get it sorted under warranty!

Why thankyou

Ive heard that from a few people! I seem to love the car so much, ill do whatever it takes to keep it on the road.

Its the harsh realisation that its over 8 years old now, and thats where cost starts to play a part in keeping it great.

Not 100% sure on thickness but its very rugged stuff but there are companys who fit it like when u buy it from them, it is a propa good way to protect ur paint and the full front bra looks reall messy n sloppy, tbh id be affraid of it wrapping up under me car lol!

lol its not gonna come off. its attached to the bonnet, and clamped in place behind the arches and underneath!

I might look into this film - it seems like a good idea!

I love the bra

I saw the mentioned film a few years back at JAE (Jap Auto Extravaganza).

And you can hardly notice it, yet works so well ive been told.

That bra is the b****x tho, keep it!

(Wrong shade of red tho

)

better late than never

doesn't look too bad tbh. once the creases have fallen out it'l look good. a decent colour match too.
