It was £180 including delivery I think. About that anyway maybe £10 more. It’s about ballpark for what I’ve had done before using a company in Poland for one wheel (Mini Cooper S), and another Saab owner for my Saab 9-3 Convertible. I can strongly recommend Royal as they’ve been really helpful and u...

Some small updates this week. Replaced the centre console as someone had drilled through the original one to screw in a chrome gear lever surround. Replaced the aftermarket “universal” gearknob with a EP3 Civic Type R style one in black with red gear pattern. Replaced the universal gear lever gaiter...

What a great find ! White is such an 'in' colour too :laughing2 It's also rare on Tomcats. If I've got my facts right, despite being a solid colour, it was only available from October '92 to October' 93 and again from early '98 to the end of production in July '98, which makes it very rare if origi...

Thanks for the love guys! It’s appreciated. Been a few recent jobs like new Philips bulbs in the headlights, and LEDs in the rear. I’ve got LED indicators to go too but need a different LED compatible flasher relay as the one I bought is too big to fit into the fuse box space. A replacement is on th...

That looks like a really lovely car. I look forward to seeing it at some event/meet in the not too distant future. White is such a great colour but I have to say that. I've got 3 white hatchbacks! Good luck with your mods and bodywork fixes. Cheers! I wasn't sold on the colour to start with, but it...

So, given L801 PSC had to be abandoned due to poor communication and general lack of progress from the garage engaged to do the bodywork and paint (all in another thread!) I bit the bullet on a 1998 VVC Coupe that was advertised on eBay. Three trains to get there, but went well and coffees were purc...

Hi all - I'm trying to download some of the R8 manuals for my project and I'm getting "Error - you've already downloaded this" on some, but not others. Notable on the R8 Body - Doors manual as a starter for 10. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I've gone so far as trying from a complet...

Have to be honest John, it was that, or drag him through courts to get some form of resolution and my mental and physical health just don’t need that at the moment (lots going on at home with wife’s cancer recovery and my eldest child struggling at school with anxiety and SEND issues). So, I decided...

An ignomious end to my ownership of L801 PSC. After multiple failed delivery dates, failed to provide meaningful and timely updates, failure to provide estimates, I’ve informed the workshop supposedly doing the bodywork (4 times it’s apparently been done) and paint (3 times apparently delivered to p...

Ideally, sell my 216 Cabrio, move the 220 up to me, strip and rebuild engine, get body sorted and paint done, drive…

Hopefully with a smile on my face remembering I wanted one of these since 1993…
