i was one of the first to welcome you to this site when you first come on and said who you were , i also offered you a deal on the bodykits when they were first listed on ebay and still will if you want them or anything else you may want that we do.

the stuff i make i will back against anything out there as i make it with every intention of using it on my own models , not just to sell and make a profit .
look at the price i charge for the 4 spoke aluminium wheels and tell me i am making a big profit on them , all the lads on here get them cheaper than we sell them for on ebay , you sell similar ones yourself so you will know what the costings are unless you buy them in ??
i always fully research anything i want to make and wont sell anything below my own standards regardless of cost.
my motto - if its worth doing , do it right and settle for nothing less
if you think that wound me up , you dont have a sense of humor!!!
i find this all very amusing mate

depends what side of the light is painted,on the bmw i used wet&dry sand paper(1200) as they painted on the outside(rear) & brake fluid on the front cause it was on the inside. then just give them a polish or clear nail varnish will do.

its all easy mate,if you do the front bumper in stages you get the right shape,the s1 kit is dead easy.
if its the first time using milliput have a dish of water & keep dipping your fingers in,it not stick to you then & you can get the shape pretty dam near
look forward to progress pic

andy , if you go on the mb tuning cars website and enter this code into the search bar ( MB TC-3L )you will find the comp centre's were using .
they are a very good quality insert .
i hold no grudge mate and defo not anoyed.
go back through your coments mate , you asked a question and i answered it.
then you made a comment about the bodykit we do , nothing lost in translation with that comment as we both know it cant be bought anywhere else at present!
are you saying you purposefully made comments on here to try to wind me up?
if so , i find that very childish mate and can only assume you are the one annoyed that we are doing similar stuff to you .
as i said above no grudges mate if you need anything you know where to find me , always happy to help.
hope this ends the tit for tat !
