  1. just IMHO n 2p, i would guess this would fit better with a car that has the same design CF bonnet and rear wing (a la TRD) ? o'wise, just that panel in the middle of the roof may look a bit odd ?
  2. congratulations mate - you must be over the moon ! nothing like being your own boss both financially and emotively. i hope the future treats you well. good luck.

    bit of an update guys. went down to mattH's (my source of local fun! ) which is about an hour on the m25/m20 from london so expected to feel the difference in handling. bearing in mind that on the drive back from northway tyres (watford), it felt far better, i was surprised to see the handling was not great (although better than before the alignment) on the motorway. i am comparing this to before i had the tyres changed (i went from 245/285 pzeroes to 245/275 gdyear f1s on 18'' rims) where the car felt absolutely planted. it still pulled (a bit only) to the left and the front end went light at 120+ leptons...very worrying! plus the steering was quite jittery. matt had a go in it and also felt the same - to use his words 'nervous' n 'skipping'. funny thing is - on the drive home, it again felt far better although the jitteriness was still there a bit. i am now thoroughly confused. how can it behave one way then another so quickly ? besides alignment - could be another source of this problem ? i am tempted to head to micheldevers to see if this can be sorted. pls don't get me wrong, i am in no way blaming northway but just want/need a second opinion. i realise that 40 mins is a bit short but i assumed that laser alignment was quick ? i had it done once before and it took close to 2 hours but wasn't a laser jobbie so therefore thought 40 mins was sufficient ? cost about the same though ... any thoughts would be much appreciated guys. oh, and phil - the alignment has stopped the RLTC from kicking in so much like before - relatively normal now so thanks. buggered if i know what to do now ...

    terry/phil/guys - just came back from northway in watford and they did a top job on it. i asked them to spec the car to that from the mkiv.com site. the handling is transformed and she feels far, far tighter and no longer pulls to the left or goes light at speed (i errm had a bit of a spirited run coming back down the m1:innocent: ). thanks to all, esp. terry n phil.
  7. oh bennie boy - did you REALLY do that all by yer lonesome ?

  11. jason - i'm sure geeza wasn't being personal ... or was he ? justin/geeza - the capri would wish in vain it could look this good! john - (un)fortunately, the news is true and i have gone 'wingless' - can everyone say this .... ''WINGLESS''. i am still evaluating how it looks and am not finding it too bad mate. wilson/cj - pics are forthcoming but i've got a dodgy camera (dropped it recently ) so will have to borrow a mate's one. cj - i tell you all what - if i REALLY, REALLY find the car looks like it needs a wing, i'll go n nick one somewhere - awwright ??
  12. cj - you're welsh, i wouldn't expect you to speak the bloody language let alone spell it correctly ? (bit rich this innit comin' from a danged johnny foreigner?) .. geeza - spot on about the veilside but you are still king numpty i'm afraid ! LOL .... just kidding about the wing n you .. where's mid ? :flame Dev - still faffing around with that blasted german tractor ?
