I use ICARCHECK app for iphone. Type in the number plate I would like and it should tell you if its already on a car, alternativley you could go to www.mycarcheck.com.

 

TF51 SNH does not exist in their database, so you may be in luck.

KE33 CHY want be available until 2033 so that's out of the question.

Yes that right. How the bloody hell did I not spot that.

I maybe meant K333 CHY but it was already noted down.

Just booked the car into South Wales Auto Wrap on Saturday 29th March for a little work to be done on the inside. 

 

I am going to get all my silver plastic trim done in gloss black including door cards with the ash tray and gear stick surround done in matte black. 

[j0hn]

Been thinking about doing the same thing. What's your bill going to come to if you don't mind me asking?

[jmattley]

I'm also thinking of turning all the silver bits black, but I'm going to take them out, paint them, then put them back.

£75 which I don't think is too bad. And I know the job is done well then too.

Only problem is you need to take the rivets out of the door cards. And glue back in. These guys will wrap them in place.

Also a good thing about wrap is you can return to standard when i decide to sell.

Hhhmmm interesting, thinking to do mines since you and j0hn mentioned it. It's a maybe answer for now, but if I do it then I will go for the carbon fibre look. How long would it take for them to do your interior? 

[Guest]

I'm not sure, all they said was drop it off at 10 and it will be finished by the time they close at 1. Will dig out a photo that 'inspired' me to get it done.

[Guest]

Bare in mind I will have a different steering wheel, but I think it will look just as good

[j0hn]

I think this is the way to go

[jmattley]

Got your new wheels yet?!

[Guest]

Sorry guys been really busy and sidetracked lately so haven't been on here.

Nothing to add really, just a few photos of my recent trip to raglan castle. New wheels are still causing me some grief. I hate my current wheels but still unsure on what ones to get. To be honest I have stopped looking as I keep annoying my self by saying yeah I want those then next minute I think they want suit the car or the look I am after.

Anyway here's some photos just too keep the thread going

Oh and one from a tunnel

[Guest]

Wheels are being ordered tomorrow. Hopefully

[jmattley]

What you gone for in the end dude? 0.01s I hope 

[Guest]

Yes 3sdm 0.01 ordered from al @ awesome GTI. Had great service and a great pice.

7-8 weeks waiting list at the minute thou which doesn't bother me too much as I'm off to turkey next week so will only really be 6-7 as I want be thinking too much of my alloys out there.

It will also give me plenty of time to sort the stance out before they go on. And give it another detail hopefully.

Going to order some carbon collective platinum wheels too before they get all booted up.

Will post up some pictures when my shipment arrives

[Guest]

Look what's arrived yeaterday!!! Tires will be here today. Uniroyal rainsport 3's.

Haven't been on in a while as work has been hectic and a lot of overtime has been slung my way. Car has gotten a little neglected so a clean is overdue and then the wheels can be fitted.

[jmattley]

Nice. Get em fitted!

[Guest]

Nice. Get em fitted!

Being fitted today. I polished and sealed them on the weekend ready for fitting. Rear is being dropped a further 15-20mm too.

I must say a huge thanks to awesome GTI for their service and after sales communication. Hugely recommended and they gave me a very competitive price.

One last shot how she was sitting last night.

Next thing to do is get a set of winter tires for the old alloys.

They look brilliant! Definitely want some for myself now. Think you made a good choice.

[SNH]

[Guest]

Another few cheeky shots from outside work yesterday.

Thinking the front and rear need to come down a smidge more again.
