Who has fitted tailgate skin themselves ?
I sorted Manta v8.s out for him , i know he took some pics ,i,ll give him a nudge see if he,ll put em up for you. There not difficult to fit ,he trimmed as much excess glass off to give more room to blend with filler towards the rear glass keyed the tailgate and bonded it on using psykoflex (been using the stuff for years and still can,t spell it !! ) you could use gaffer tape to try and hold it as tight to the tailgate as poss or even a few screws (you,ll be filling over the hols left anyway) When dry sand the edge of the skin to taper it down a bit and key it ready for filling , tnen start blending it in , i usually sand the first few skims of filler with a D.A sander cos yuo,ll need to build it up before you can start shaping .Only tip to filling i can give is dont be scared to use coarse grades of sand paper ,using a sanding block i,d use 60 grit to first shape the filler then 80grit to finish the shaping 120grit to smooth the filler and 180grit to finish for priming . Happy sanding :D Allan

Anyone Advise on repair of popped up wing
The method we use (i,m a panelbeater) is to get a wide but slim bladed bolster chisel or anything similer , wrap it with masking tape , so as not to damage the paintwork, slip it between the door and wing and gentley lever the wing back into alighnment.Have to use this method when fitting non genuine wings cos most don,t fit correctley , this method works a treat on these :hyper: HTH Allan

FFS- it has come to this! Hope the parents are PROUD!
An eye for an eye, they hurt you , you hurt them back , they kill somebody , HANG THE FOOKERS they can,t do it again !!! I can,t believe how much this country,s gone down hill since i left school 23 years ago, there was no way i would have even thought of robbing or nicking cars or torching somewere just for a laugh. I agree with all of you . Don,t think it,ll be long before vigilante groups are set up by normal hard working people to protect what we work damn hard for cos the coppers hands are tied by all the do gooders :xxx: :xxx: Rant over , feel a bit better now.

soggy MAF/filter
Was getting the same problem , i,ve got 99 front and an Apexi , only occured after fitting a twin vent nose panel , but i dont think the vent holes were the problem it was leaking between the nose panel and bumper while the car was parked up, it would drip straight on the filter :headvswal made a shield to protect the top of the filter , problem solved :dance: BTW never had a problem of excess water getting into the filter when driving . :confused:

Portafield Pads
There,s been a lot of people praise these pads , my question is , are they a good upgrade on standard discs and callipers ? I,m needing to renew mine so i would rather get some ones that work better than standard ( as i found out approaching a island a bit quick !! nearly shat my pants :shock: ) or can anybody reccomend others that they have used. thanx allan
