I use super glue gel as it doesn't run everywhere.

Thanks guys. I'll put some picks up later.

 

Im planning to start on my bronze mk 3 escort & would like to do a series 1 type front grill,any ideas how i go about it or if i send it to one of you lads would someone be willing to do it

 

mentalistdave done his one so he sld have a pic, i stuck mine bk in place before i knew it had to be cut lol

 

just cut out the sections in grill leaving the centre one and sand it down,
easy mod!!!

i also use the gel glue on most things as it is easier to control....

 

I'll get some at weekend, I remember useing that contact liquid stuff as a kid. Used to get it every were and it was shit.

 

Cheers Dave,i'll give it ago

 

Dave yr good with wheels, what colour do u recon wld good on my rs16i?

 

i see certain individuals have tried to stripe us up on ebay dave.
didnt think it would be long before they got worried about the things we are doing
onwards and upwards mate....lol
if there worried about what were doing at the moment they will shit themselves when they see what will be listed over the next couple of weeks!

 

Keep up the good work lads,at the end of the day theres a market out there for tuning/modding parts so fair play,i'll defo be after bits as and when they are avalible

 

i take it its a black one.
to be honest its up to personal preference.
gold looks the nuts on the black escorts, but also does white,alan put a white set on his if you remember.
ive got silver on mine but its a safe plain option lol!!!! i might change them to gold when i get round to it...

as for the glue i would watch what u use for the wheels as sometimes the gel doesn't always hold the wheels in place in the long run.(weight of the model)

 

well there is plenty more to be worried about!!! lol!!

 

na i got the red one this, time there is a pic of it on the previous page with the wheels ive got for it

 

who what, what's happening on ebay then?
i think alu wheels will be the a very good seller on english ebay as there aint many and most people have to order them from germany

 

black wheels look nice on red!!!!!
i have a golf gti with the bbs rims i sell .finished in black with chrome lip and they look sweet.will post some pics tommorrow if u want??

 

someone brought loads of stuff ,not paid then left negative feedback,with no communication!!!! not just from us !!
ebay are looking into it!!

 

twats!!!!!
well at least eveyone gets to do their own cars this way and not pay shit loads as we can't all afford some of the prices the modded ones go for

 

Hopefully eBay will do something about it. Looks like theyve done it to two others from reading their feedback. Its a real shame that some idiot has spoilt your feedback. Probally just another person that sells a similar product trying to upset you & your rep.

There is an option to block bids from certain users. I was blocked from biding on an auction a few months back because the seller didnt accept my offer. Not sure what it sold for in the end.

Hate it as a seller that you cant leave negative or neutral feedback. Dont understand why eBay have done it like that.

 

only thing is i can't understand why they wld bid on a couple of cheap models as they weren't modded ones or anythin, might just be someone mucking around

 

The other 2 sellers that this person has done the same too dont even sell the same sort of products, just models & not decals / modified parts. Strange

 

they have done it to more than 2 mate .
go to there feedback page and click on feedback left for others , there is about 20 people they have done it to, mostly sellers of modded and standard 1/18 models.
we dont want to block any buyers on there as most people wont sell to buyers with low feedback but we both know what it is like when you first start buying and we have sold loads to people with low feedback without any problems.
we were expecting this to happen and have a response waiting.
we will carry on with our plans undettered by this as it shows what we are doing is providing a service that is proving to be very popular with buyers and we have had over a 100 quid of sales after the feedback was left so it oviously isnt affecting our sales as they had hoped....lol

 

I was only looking at all feedback Good to see that its not effecting business. I was a little annoyed when I got my 1st negative feedback. Seller said the product didnt work but description clearly said that i never used it, so how would i know if it did or not & no communication either. Would have offered a refund if he did but jsut chose negative instead.

eBay should clear the feedback off and ban them. I found a seller using a picture that I took and using my text to sell his identical item without permission. Reported it straight away & it was removed in under 24hrs.

Just created a block list with this user on so they cant bid on my items unless i remove them.

On all of my auction, I block buyers who:
Have received 2 Unpaid item Strike(s) within 1 month(s)
Are registered in countries to which I don't post
Have 4 breach of policy report(s) within 1 month(s)
Have a feedback score equal to or lower than -1

Opened a dispute yesterday for an unpaid item. Auction ended 4th Jan & its now 13th Jan and still not paid for. My terms are 4 days (always put in description) & messaged after those 4 days with no reply.

Also hate having to prompt people to leave feedback. Got items sold on 30 nov & 19 dec that ive not had feedback or communication on yet. One buyers feedback was '.' thats it, just a dot.

Also having trouble paying for a powco 1/32 Focus ST for some reason

 

he was the one who bid that blue UT ecos up to Ł99 and left bad feedback the day the action ended derr
their ebay name is: little-chuahha and one seller also said look out for RORLOR35 and aviod!!! so if yr selling anythink watch out for these

 

Tried putting RORLOR35 on my block list but it said username not found so may be a slight spelling mistake.

 

yeah i tried as well so they have either wrote it down wrong or they been kicked off already

 

Kicked off hopefully

 

i just found that seller if u do it in small letters BUT they have no bad feedback and haven't left any so i dont think we have to worry about them unless their helping the other one bid things up

 

that little-chuahha has put their location down as being in essex lets hope not as i'm in essex and it aint good

 

Their name'd & shame'd on here now so we'll have to keep an eye open on our auctions.

Ive got loads of micro machines listed right now if anybody wants any.

 

i remember having them years ago but think there a bit small for me now lol

 

I cancelled a few bids on my stuff lately because they were brand new to ebay & bidding ridiculas amounts (even for me lol!), there user i.d' were: bronco-bill-cowboy ( 0 ) & i am pleased i did because they have left other members neg as well!....lets hope eBay sort this asap

 

That's another one for the block list then, let's name and shame all the scum bags on eBay who ruin it for the rest of us

 

Just had alook through the feedback,seems like people are getting jealous

F.a.o PhatC how long did it take for your Capri to arrive from Germany from time you placed the order?,i ordered mine at about 10:30pm on Tuesday.

 

I'm sure it only took 3 days they come by DHL

 

Thanks Colin ....
