Feedback Score system is now online!
If you are going to use it like "Ebay feedback" then it should be restricted to Sales/purchases of items only. It will actually devalue the scheme if you extend it to services as nobody will then know what the feedback is related to, since it cant be linked to a specific transaction. Simple is nearly always best. IMO of course.

polyurethane front bumper problem
Will do Vijay. My worry is the spray filler wont build enough depth to mask the ripples and if it does it will be too brittle and flake off. I guess it depends how badly out of shape it is . any pics????

polyurethane front bumper problem
:nono::nono: Not poly ester spray filler Vijay. Firstly its really like like thick paint. Used to fill pin holes pitting etc in old metal or cheap n nasty fibreglass parts ... as fitted to many 300ZXs. Its NOT flexible cos its doesnt need to be. Urethane is flexible so you need flexible filler. doesnt anyone down sarf know anything!!! LOL Nothing spray on will do as it wont fill waving/ripples. If you can wait till next week I can speak to my body shop man. But surely there are some Proper time served sprayers/painters on here to advise. Im just a self taught amateur:( Ring me if you need help mate.

How much for a Zed

How much for a Zed
If you do a survey of owners or prospective owners on here I dont think you will find 90% of them want ...a) an auto b) two tone custom flip paint or c) Tein coilover suspension. Also... spending £5.5K on a car wont add that to the value of the car. For example I bought my 1995 Version S manual NA for £2000. In the last 6 months I have fitted over £2500 of parts to it but it aint worth £4500 ;)

first time buyer advice...
Yes I knew that. Everything I said is true. It would be a lot more difficult to do now but the point of the story is still valid.:bow: I have done reasonably well with my three properties but compared to the A*****brothers I look like a loser:cry:

first time buyer advice...
Its a no brainer..... BUY one!! Or even better buy more than one(but not at the same time LOL!!) Renting is just like burning money. You never see it again. Need convincing??? here is a true tale...... Many years ago two brothers came to this country to look for work. They arrived in Bradford cos their uncle already worked there and had a house;) they got jobs as bus drivers and worked hard and saved enough to buy a house of their own, later they got married in their home country and returned with a wife each. soon after they were able to buy a second house so they each had their own home;) And later when the old lady across the road died they bought her house;) Today the brothers own in excess of 20 houses all of which except the two they live in are rented out. Now of course they dont drive any buses but have time to look after their families and enjoy life to the full. How do I know this??? Well I was in Bradford in 1971 at the same time they came to Britain and I got the full tale from one of them when my daughter lived in one of their student houses a couple of years ago. There is never a bad time to buy a house there are just some times when its a better buy than others:D

polyurethane front bumper problem
AFAIC the answer is whatever you skim it over with will sooner or later crack and lift due to the flexibility of urethane. However there are products available from specialist motor factors who supply paint etc. try asking at one. Do you have "Brown Brothers" or similar near you?? Try Yellow Pages. Or Send a PM to "Boldy" on this forum. He is one very skilled body shop painter

Swopping shell?
The Blue Series 2 NA that I am advertizing is one of the nicest cars I have seen.Even the rear spoiler is good. There is no rust at all on the upper body. Underneath its virtually the same. Lots of nice features on the Jap ser 2. Proper pillar mounted seat belts. Lap and Diag rear belts. Directional adjustable Air con. etc IMO its worth a short trip from Leicester up the M1 to Jun 26 to have a look. i could even deliver it!!:wack:
