The other day i was looking for a specific light part for my new zed build. Specifically rear bumber markers that are smoked in colour so it matched the purple bumper looks better. Anyways; the previous seller i got these from no longer stocks them so i searched ebay again and found nothing. Turning to google a few links came up showing the part on ebay which previous searches didn't show. After i logged into the US version of the site and added it to my watch list and thinking i can browse the sellers shop directly later on from the UK site i found that it was empty. Back to the US version again the shop was full of stuff that we dont get to see and seems to be exluded from UK searches. So even with the option on the UK site saying search internationly i now believe this to be *****cks. This discovery has opened up a whole new market of parts and if anyone else doesnt know about it just use the link below : http://stores.ebay.com/ Below is the lights i just purchased and have already been shipped.

Did you do a bank transfer too ? If so what date and we can check it out and get you enabled.

Yip, Never even noticed i did that until you pointed it out but yes, Its common up north to say mind ... rather than remember.

Yeh, I mind that :) However I was passing rather than purposely coming to get it. Can't mind what I was doing but sure I was dropping off my engine to Lee Dent for a rebuild.

bummer, Never thought of traveling so far for something thats of no use to anyone. Bets you just wanted to punch the seller.

Doing a Concept order shortly, i never trust Z1 as hey are a bunch of muppets when it comes to customer service.

So whats the furthest everyones traveled for the cheapest of parts within the UK ? At the weekend i traveled from Troon to nearly Aberdeen to collect a replacement rear bumber for my zed. And it cost me £10. Thats just over 170 miles and 3 hours 20 minutes to get there. Great sites coming back on the coastal route mind you so well worth the £10.

Dropped off the replacement bumper too this morning and its much straighter than the other.

Few update pics, nothing much different apart from some smoothed down body panels, Prep work always takes the longest.

Yeh, Had a wee issue earlier identified by Mondo where threads had crazy random titles. Tried everything to fix it and just as a precaution I decided to back everything up and do a quick clear out and reinstall. Guess what; that never fixed it either :( Finally started disabling various plugins we use and bam the issue was fixed. Turns out a plugin I updated last night was not fit for purpose and caused the hiccup seen earlier. Its now disabled and everything's back to normal - hopefully. Cheers Lee

Now fixed. Its was a dodgy plugin that was updated last night.

Now fixed. :) Looks like it was a faulty plugin that I updated last night.

yeh, Had a wee clear out, but the thread titles are still screwed up :(

Test Thread 1

Get you now :) Bit strange effect that, seems the thread titles are off by one or so posts. I'll run a quick optimisation and repair on the database .

What link for emails ? Can you post a screenshot ?

lol, I never knew that :)

Sure are, I've received 3 for this thread alone and another for every reply after :)

Back to my engine build, Nice set of turbos arrived today to replace the old auto ones. Going to order up a 60k kit to get the tensioner, water pump, belt and thermostat replaced too. Also back water pipes, pcv kit, water hoses and vacum pipes. Lots to get and do.

Nice fit on the skirts

Already had the arches rolled to allow for extra space.:thumbup1:

The moment i was dreading has arrived. Looks like my calulations are ok and the new alloys and tyres fit perfectly flush. After the respray i'll fit the coilovers to bring the ride height down.

Pop out the hazard switch and reconnect it. It's basically a three way control and if it's a bad or loose connection nothing will work.

Don't care about colour but needs to be smooth as and in good condition. Anybody near Glasgow area got anything ? Urgent.

Cheers anyways, Its cost me a small fortune to get this built so far so dont have any extra funds to do anything but paint it. Its perfectly smooth so a good red garage paint will make it look great.
