I was originally going to order the kit off ebay, but after reading the post yesterday i have been put off. So i'm going to have ago myself. If anyone has got any instructions or tips i would be very greatfull. But i do have a concern on the door cards how do you get it to wrap around the end of the door as its a right angle, all kit manufactures use stitching but i'm affraid i can't do that so what is my alternative. Also is there any other tricky party surely in places the material would pucker up how do you get around this. Thanks

My car has been missing all over the place and I had to replace a 4 week old set of platinum plugs because unburnt fuel had coated them in carbon and crap.

Steve and i notice a few things to try and so i just wanted to see if anyone else had tried them and if so what results they had. 1: Move top water pipe further down the ali pipe to increase distance between rubber hose and PTU. 2: Remove the sound insulation from underside of bonnet. 3: Make a heat shield to go between the water hose and PTU.

When I was driving up the A1 yesterday, i could hear a vibrating noise coming from the rear of the car. Now it was very bad weather so there was plenty of buffeting going on. On investigation this morning I've discovered that I can lift the outter edges of the boot lid :confused: Has anyone had this problem before, and if so how did you cure it? I have got an after market spoiler on, so i assume that may be caurseing it. I'm also considering taking this off and putting the original style one on (fibreglass version) PS - If anyone is interested in this spoiler, let me know :D but I've no idea when I'll be changing it.
