Mark_F Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) ive introduced myself before and posted a few pics, some went well, some went not so well but its all good so how i bought it, washed, polished, waxed (and plates that people dont like!) and then 2 weeks or so ago the roof decided to break...result because of this bad knot. new kit ordered and replaced leaving the lining looking like.. then this evening i decided to get busy and get it sorted.. and now its all done! just need to sort the hole out, my mum is a seamstress, so easy fix for her.. and last Monday I sorted this little b'stard.. took me best part of 90 minutes to do that, little soddin thing! haha so far ive learned a bit about the car, and if anyone ever needs help with batwings im more than willing to help out, it really isn't that difficult also, since i've had it Rich has sorted my maps and firmware out (top man), multiple layers of polish/wax/sealant (not in that order!) and gliptone'd the seats. there'll be plenty more to come, i thought i was positive about the plates, but i may just get onto fancyplates, and the wheels will be refurb'd soon too. i like the LM's and the CSL's, but then thats some serious outlay. only a quick snippet, ill add more pics as i go, and cheers for C&C. im enjoying the site so far Edited June 24, 2013 by cabbing Blair and Rich_D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keano Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Rich sorting out my firmware and maps, the day after i bought it! What is he doing when he 'sorts' them out? What was wrong in the first place? How did you know something needed 'sorting'? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_D Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 The maps & firmware can be updated, most people still have the original map disc from the factory, which is now massively out of date, plus there are firmware updates to give more features keano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djsb29 Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 can you show me a link to the roof thing... mines just gone as well! which link do you mean? the part, or fixing it? I'm not sure.. the "string" bit has snapped like yours, and the lining flaps around which is very annoying for me and for the rear passengers!

Mark_F Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 if you google it theres a thread on lots of forums, its the same one on each mate. took me about 90 minutes in total to fix it i reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay. Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Mine are 18s simmlar design & with the coilovers everyone thinks there 19" as arch gap kills good wheels IMO! I had these same wheels on my clubsport in 19" & felt they were too big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
