Less of the roll eyes please!

I'm quite aware there are two types, one has a fine spline the other coarse but there are other differences....

Chopping the sunroof aperture took me minutes and ensures that all the parts that I have will fit correctly.

havn't read this for a while, know jacko isn't the best bloke due to other resaons, thats between me and him, (none bad) but his painting is shit hot, seen him paint cookeys rs turbo from the day it got droped off.

big fuck wow jacko painted martains car and jacko fucked up a little, rather jacko paint my car than have a go my self,

so all i have to say is pay for what you get and if ya spend ever day washing ya 400bhp get a fucking life and leave people alone ya sad fuckers.

How have you corrected that? looks minor enough to just take off with a DA or whatever, or was it worse than it looks?

Hopefully the last surprise it has in store for you now!
