Is that the norm then m8?
Yep anyone should get at least 10% and 15 with a bit of a push.....or get a mate in the trade to order for you.
Also found that euro car parts MAY order original parts for much less.....

Thanks for the info 
I wonder what he's doing the five remaining days. (apart from posting here)
He certainly isn't doing the hall
Hmmm, not too sure where the time is going tbh - always seem to be busy but never seem to be making progress!! I have been spending quite a bit of time on 'stuff that needs doing' (but not the hall) plus scouting for a new job - oh, and spending time playing with the b!!
Nope, had a few days away in Weymouth with the missus and the kids, very last minute but we decided we had such a crap start to the year we would have an early break - glad we did!!
It's on, fitted and looking good but I have not had a chance to drive it yet!! - I will send a photo once I have taken a couple...........
Doc, be careful - if you make your b too perfect you will be afraid to get behind the wheel (or will be too afraid to give her a blast through the Bed's countryside the way we did last year!!)..

I finally have two mint new front lights for my B :slayer: The HID kit is sitting in the garage and I have just placed an order for a load of dynamat for the front wings. Alan posted a link to a site selling orange LED indicator bulbs so I got my hands on a pair as well.
I should be able to pick up the Fiat parts tomorrow, so this weekend and next are going to be all playing with the Barchetta. Pictures 2 follow.

Funny she was talking about that the other day hehehe. I think she will have her hands full bringing up the little one and studying for her child psychology doctorate over the next three years to think about toys like an old 911. Dont tell her but if she graduates I will get her one.
The Audi TT has to go and will be replaced by an Audi A3 or a BMW one or three series sports.

I was in the process of buying a TVR S when Louise fell pregnant with our first, I pulled out (of the sale) and bought a Cherokee Jeep instead!

Lucky for me Becs likes her cars so she will never be seen dead in anything like a family bus.

My missus is not that much of a petrol head but we always said we would never get a bus but needs dictated otherwise (although now we no longer have a dog we could go a bit smaller again)........needs must and all that!
