Painting diff
what bout black and yellow stripes then it will look like you have a massive bumble bee strapped under your motor would certainly catch the eye of the go cart behind you on the motorway :). seriously no idea when mine gets done not decided on a colour yet I was thinking baby blue as car blue and all the arms etc be blue but maybe silver would be pretty cool.

Nightmare Jobs (On Your Car)
Removing the hydraulic pipes from rear to front with the back wheels still on the ground lock bar in place only front jacked up and on stands so about an inch between my face and bottom of car at rear fiddly dosn't even come close and then there is getting the pipes out from the front that weave up and round through the engine bay a grinder with cutting blade would have been handy here took ages with a hack saw lol if i ever had to do it again would get ramps for front and jack back up on stands as high as could get it as I kept getting my head stuck every time I shimmied out like a crab to reach for extension bar or whatever

Show me your dirty underbellies!
Prob your best bet is if your serious to sub up and keep eye out on here for someone selling as you have more chance of picking up a nice example thats been loved and possibly already had the usual sills etc done depend what your looking for project or usable straight off and budget as possibly one idea would be to pick one up that has good engine etc but needs underside done and sending it to bodymech for whatever it needs plus a respray :) just depends on budget though.

Hicas delete query
Even I managed to remove all the hicas lines and i'm certainly no mechanic yes its time consuming and can be a proper pain in arse but hack saw is very handy for the ones that go up through the engine towards pot and the ones at the rear passenger wheel arch are a total twit to get to especially if car is not too high off the ground key for me if i was to do it again car as high as u can get it and a dremel with cutting disc would really speed things up it took me 2 days from start to finish but the self satisfaction was great if your not in a rush and don't need the car on road just get it off the ground and do as and when u can :)

Need list of insurance companies help had huge estimate
I don't understand it either guys all they said was that because i had my claim in june and black mark on licence and the car was so highly modified its proper pot look I think and bloody annoying too as this was meant to be on a classic policy limited to 5000miles maybe if i insure another car it will help lol away look a bmw at weekend teach my little cousin to drive in even with him on it as a learner at 19 its only £800 fully comp.
