Well, I've booked it into the bodyshop for Thursday to get the rear bumper resprayed. They are also going to do the drivers rear quarter to fix the other scratch/mark. Not too bad a price and if the work is good, they can do the door handles, bullets and maybe the other quarter. I would then...

You can get ones that bolt to the hub or ones that use longer bolts. Depends on the manufacturer.

You do :smile: You need longer bolts (find out the length of the old bolts + add the width of the spacer and that'll give you the bolt length you need)

Hubcentric is on the left and non hubcentric is on the right. Basically, hub centric are safer as they sit on the hub lip and provide a lip for the wheel to sit on.

Oh yeah, I was surprised at how light it is. It will be cool to feel the weight of the stock one!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!! Top mounts are here already and I am still deciding on whether to get Grams springs or not. I would like it lower but I don't want to break my back or bank... Gtechniq G1 has been ordered also as I am getting a new windscreen next week.

Autosmart Tardis. Comes in 5 litres and is about £15 from your local rep. If not, Halfords do Autoglym tar remover (not as good but for anything better you need to order online) A word of warning, if it does come off in bits, you'll be finding little small balls of glue everywhere for a few...

They are an absolute ballache to remove. My advice would be a heat gun to soften it up and start peeling from the top. Peel slowly, and then spray the tar/glue remover behind the vinyl, letting it run into the glue. Rinse and repeat and it should be easy to remove. When I removed mine, it...

For a few more £ I'll just go genuine. If I could get TRW or Lemforder for less, I'll get those but I can't find a reliable seller.

£33.60 per side http://www.mister-auto.co.uk/en/anti-roll-bar/lemforder-29491-01_g3229_a03529491!01.html?KTypeNr=31527

Ahh, thanks Shuv, found it! http://www.clio197.net/threads/check-your-lower-arm-link-bar-s-and-dog-bone-mount.23191/page-2#post-300898

Now I am thinking about springs and things, I am now thinking about suspension refresh. What parts could I replace myself easily? I was thinking the anti rotation links (but I don't know which ones or from where?), but what other parts could be changed?

A bit late but can I ask where you got yours from and did you replace them yourself?

Genuine Toyosport as you recommended :) I don't think I could fork out for the Ktec item... I believe they are 30mm on all corners? Apparently they are good when combined with the cup dampers which are part of the cup pack (someone correct me if I am wrong, are the cup pack dampers the same...

I thought I'd cheer myself up a bit so I bit the bullet and ordered the manifold! Lowering springs are also on the cards... Grams from KamRacing :D

I believe I'm the unluckiest person in the world at the moment. It's only paint that's been taken away but no doubt I'll have to get the whole bumper repainted. 2 dings in a month!

From bad to ******* worse... Car pulled out of our patient car park and didn't look up the road. Queue her hitting my car and taking paint off the rear bumper :(

In other news, top mounts have arrived from RPD, so will get the car into the garage to get those fitted. That should stop the knocking that Aaron's Autos found (I can't hear it but I don't know what I am hearing for) Payday on Friday so I'll be ordering the Toyosport Manifold then. Might get...

Love the light for pictures, don't like the light as it makes washing it a pain in the rear... DSC_0040 by Gregory Berry, on Flickr DSC_0024 by Gregory Berry, on Flickr DSC_0044 by Gregory Berry, on Flickr DSC_0045 by Gregory Berry, on Flickr DSC_0048 by Gregory Berry, on Flickr DSC_0051...

It's more of a matt type surface. Easy to clean and again, a spot on fit.
