i know they deliver there pretty big down here but not sure if theres an outlet near you but there usually quite competetive on price

i thought changing that gasket would have been a ten minute job for you
thats the only thing thats anoying me £10 gasket £200 to get it fitted
if i had a garage i would do it myself

any recommendations for alloys and/or tinting

cheers

from the b pillar back whatever you like, the front two sides can have nothing legally anymore but if it was done pre-2003 (i think) then its okay to leave it there if you catch my drift

and no tint on the windscreen.

EDIT: just googled Partco Autoparts Ltd and found one very close to my work cheers!

how cr*p is that are we allowed no fun anymore

so if i have a reciept stating it was done pre 2003 theres nothing they can do ?????

going back to the airfilter will i notice a difference in performance and does it negativly effect the mpg and will it increase the engine tone dramitcally as i live near a nursin home and dont think they would appreciate me roaring up at night

re partco if they dont carry the part in stock they can usually get same day or at worst next day great for thing like wipers as well just quoted me £23 for a full set of blades

The filter will not overly increase noise but you will notice a big pick up in power. As for MPG it should give you an extra 2 MPG as long as you don't go to heavy with the right foot.

If the windows in front of the B pillar block more than 20% (if I remember correctly) then the car can be confiscated and you may get a hefty fine.
Anything over the legal limit but less than 20% may result in a ticket but some forces are giving you a producer and 48 hours to remove it.

The date of installation is not relevant, all it takes is one bored traffic cop or someone ticked off by a local chav rally.

I took mine off not so much for the police but because the insurance asked if my tints were legal and you don't mess with the insurance mafia.

thanks mate dont think ill bother with the tints sounds to much like hard work i think i,ll just go with the induction kit probably cheaper anyway
