That's great, I'll check them out. Cheers Manders!

I'm based in Southampton; can anyone recommend anyone in the area for de-chroming? I don't mind travelling a bit for someone who'll do a good job. Thanks!

If it's just a body stripe, any wrapper or sign writer should be able to make one for you. I believe most people on here who have stripes (myself included) are non-factory fitted.

Modurstang open day :)

You'd be amazed at how truly ham-fisted I am. I'd much prefer to pay someone to fit a tried-and-tested setup! As for the JWR kit, I think they finished it off. Keen to hear the opinions of anyone who's had it fitted :)

I've still got a year left on my warranty, but will be looking to replace my factory-fit oil cooler with an aftermarket alternative when the warranty does run out. What options are out there so far and has anyone tried them? How much are they paying and what's the quality like? I've heard...

My garage door is 202cm at the narrowest (where the door mechanism runs inside the weather strips). It's tight, but if I can get it through the door. You'll be fine if you have 208cm.

I've been happy with the service in Hendy Eastleigh. As Jimboy said, they have a separate workshop, waiting area etc for performance cars.

Cool, thanks Manders :)
