      On when I brought the car, always thought I'd take then of but really like them now.

      To be honest there a bit past there best now.

      looking for somewhere to redo them.

      Had a quote from a place at Hinkley for £300 which included the security film on the back window that the dog can't scratch.

      I dont think they where confortable striping the door glass out though.

      When I find somewhere I'll let you know.

              Looks hot in black, what suspension you running by the way or is it loaded in the back?

              I saw somewhere the other day about new laws with tinted windows, police can use a light detector and if your tint is overdark you can get fine & points. Worth checking with tint or MOT guys about this new is law first if you'r getting it re-done.

                Jaysus - what next - steering wheels that are too small, washer bottles not full enough, stereo too loud, exhaust pipe too shiny - what other rouse can the fat ***** in Westminster think up next to punish the motorist ?

                Note to self - go exploring the B roads of Wales sometime - had a brief whizz round some a couple of years ago - near an ex military range to watch some WRC cars - great tarmac - almost as good as Irish B-roads - heheh.

                  Tints

                  saw a lad getting pulled the other day for tints on windows in front of the b pillar. Had to allow no less than 75% of natural light through. Spoke to the copper later on and he was saying that most non factory tints are illegal but the police go through phases whether to look for them or not. Lucky part for us that they don't have many of the "light detectors" in the country to test with.

                    Go on,Go on, Go on you know you want to-Dublin to Holyhead - 2 ferries a day!!!
                    Yeah the ex military range is Eppynt- they run stages for the the rally gb there- amazing place- Saw all the group B cars there back in '86 (showing my age now)
                    You need to see an S1 at night with 5 ft flames coming out of the exhaust on the overrun before you die - The best sounding rally car ever... .........Those were the days.
                    Irish B roads are fun too............only thing is you meet some lunatic coming the other way in a mk2 escort!!!!!

                        Made me realise what owning this sort of car is all about.

                        Easy to forget when it gets driven to Asda once a week.
