Planned mods (subject to change due to current lack of a job):

Matt always gets there first, leather probably doesnt like washing up liquid

well look at it this way. you have a leather sofa, you spill some dinner on it. what do you clean it up with ? a damp cloth

is it just me or does the knob not look like it is on straight from first pic?

that would be camera angle as trying to avoid glare with the sun
 
Yeah not washing up liquid. I have a leather wheel got it for £5.00

:shrug: fair enough got to order some more cleaning stuff soon anyhow so ill get soe proper leather cleaner then.


Hahaha you lot are so harsh to Carl. I wonder why you even post here Carl when you get so much abuse ? :p

:shrug: could be worse
 
I'm an insomniac, last night at 2am I started reading this post, got through 50 pages or so and couldn't do the last 18. Finished it this morning.

And if there is anybody out there than can give me that hour or so of my life back I would be willing to pay.

Carl, nice to see you have ideas, and tbf you have a newer car than me. However when I was your age (2-3 years ago) I was running my own car, tax insurance, mot, petrol, mods, etc....and I'm at university. I work part time in a newsagents, get about £400 a month, spend about £100-£150 and put the rest in an account. Then when you get a prang, or find that perfect part on eBay you can just go out and buy it. Money making is all about self control and MOTIVATION. I kow there isn't much work out there but once you find that illusive job this gets so much easier.

Fair play for putting up with all the stick though, must be that midlanders spirit(y)

As for the car, do you have any plans for ICE, new HU, Sub, Speakers?

I use normal boot polish and stuff for my centos wheel and nob

and it works pretty well from what ive seen

next mod plans rolf??? :p

erm. you dont wanna know :p
 
MEGAginge?
Carl has big ideas most of which are nothing but pipe-dreams, he constantly tells us all about everything he is going to do but changes his mind at the same time as his underware. Despite all the talk, when it actually comes to it, he does and has achieved very little ...............Reading his posts is like listening to a stuck CD and watching "The Truman Show" at the same time. Hence the reason he takes so much flak and is never taken seriously.
Stick around and you will see what I mean :D
 
Have you done the badges black and purple yet? They've been going for a good 6 months or so now haven't they?

awaiting the rest of my paint from Hong Kong. via boat.

should be here anytime now as months boat trip then upto 14 days for customs to mess around and royal mail to lose it a few times and rape me for their handling fee.
