That is good job on the tints, how much??

I would be concerned that the front tints would be illegal and also your number plate but I guess you already know that.

Your car has had a great transformation of late, very nice.

No tints on the front must just be the way the light is hitting it!!

Number plate has given no probs with the local law enforcement ..... yet!

All in for the windows £150, i did get cheeper quotes from other places but none of them took the glass out and i don't want it to start peeling too soon. Also they give aftercare if it go's tits up !! but my pal had his done a while back and they have been fine.

Certainly looks a fantastic job for the cost.

Next time I'm up that way I might just pop in and see if they have a free slot.

Default New Header Tank...

So for christmas i thought i would get the V50 something little while it awaits the brakes and intercooler from Shark.

A nice shining Auto Specialists chrome header tank, its the focus one which fits perfectly on to all the original mounting points for the stock plastic one. Fitting is a doddle i just prised the old one off carefully then drained the fluid into jugs while the bottom hose was still connected, you only have to drain half the fluid to allow you to turn the tank in such a way that you can take off the hose without spilling anything.

stick in the new tank and tighten up one little grub screw then pour the fluids back in and job done!!

who knows this might be the start of a whole lot of engine dressing!!

Saw this thing a couple of weeks ago, sounded frigging awesome, like a Mk2 RS Focus on steroids.

Good work
