  1. Is a fire damaged bumper easy to repair? Looking to repair a rear bumper for a friend that has some bubbling from fire damage. Can this repaired easily or is it way to much hassle?
  2. Thanks guys, Tbh I'm gutted, will take the bumper of on my day of and see what the damage is, Hopefully just a few bent the edge with the plastic pegs. Don't think I will be able to see the extent of the damage until the bumper is off. Last thing I need right now so maybe it's time to say goodbye for a little while
  3. Nothing to ruin your good weekend than someone reversing into the front of the Supra. Was parked down a residential area while I was visiting my friend, came out to see that someone went straight into the front of me And to make it worse they just drove of, I've spoken to the neighbors but was late afternoon and no one hear of saw anything. Because of my age and I've had one claim within the last 5 years I can't go through my insurance as my excess is through the roof and I don't want to lose my NCB and my premium to go up. The damage isn't to bad as you can see from the photo, J-spec headlight is smashed but still works, The bumper seems to be pushed back to now the bonnet doesn't sit flush but still closes, It just looks horrible IMO. Luckily there is no damage to the radiator or anything in the front of the car, The drivers headlight has shot forward and ripped a small hole near it which will have to get filled. As for the bumper / bonnet I really don't know if it's an easy fix. Any help / advice is helpful guys, to be honest i'm gutted, right before Christmas too
  4. Formed in 23/04/15 by Mr Shahid Hussain , not quite the same ring as Tom Harvey.. as a new company. Company has barely any back round as it hasn't submitted anything really or done anything, which is unusual for a car dealership which seems to be all off the books so far. Mr Hussain is the lone 'Director' of this company. Along with another company called 'Bridging Gloves' formed in 19/01/15 also High Wycombe which once again has no transaction history or worth. Also one of two 'Directors' at 'Cressex Van Hire LTD' in where else... High Wycombe, which also guess what has barely any trading history except a outstanding £1021 CCJ (A County Court Judgment) Finally has a dissolved company in 2012 called Vehicle Purchasing solutions ltd in High Wycombe with no history. Something VERY shady going on here.
  5. Let's see what the company check says while i'm busy at work If anyone's interested what I can dig up.
  6. [ATTACH=CONFIG]207063[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]207064[/ATTACH] Anyone handing at knowing how to fix the dip mark with out doing the door again Also attempting to get the dent out with a toilet plunger a heard that's a good trick!
  7. Looking to do a bit of work to the exterior to make it look a bit more mean but not to OTT. Colour doesn't matter to much as will have it plasti dipped to match the rest of the car. Looking for a front lip -without ears OEM style skirts Trial rear bumper Any help or any sites anyone has used. Think these will suit the car the most. Below is the current look of the car, basically stock except the exhaust and wheels. [ATTACH=CONFIG]207060[/ATTACH] Opinions welcome on current and planned look
  8. Has anyone else had any luck buying bumpers or side skirts on these sites?
  9. Seems like you've been on a bumpy road but hopefully it's on the way to being completed soon. Will keep an eye out for when it's done Good lucky mate
  10. If you end up with two I would take it of you mate
  11. Looking for another run around to save the miles on the Supra and so I have something to run about it when I'm working on it. Opinions on this. Quite nippy for a little 1.8 engine - 6.9 secs http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201511138670134?page=1&postcode=nr134jb&radius=10&sort=default&onesearchad=used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew&maximum-mileage=up_to_100000_miles&price-to=5000&search-target=usedcars&zero-to-60=fast&logcode=p Or this http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201511238931813?price-to=4000&zero-to-60=fast&search-target=usedcars&postcode=nr134jb&maximum-mileage=up_to_100000_miles&sort=default&radius=10&page=1&onesearchad=used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew&logcode=p
  12. Spent a week of my summer getting out all the dents in the Supra, treating all the rust spots to have the body work all dent free. Just for someone later on to swing open their door or bump into it and dent the front wing. I had the car plasti-dipped so the chunk out the plastidip can be touched up so I'm not to bothered except the whole there now. Reason I got it dipped was because I couldn't afford the respray right now and if i had it resprayed and paid all the money just for some idiot to open their door to much and scratch the paint and dent the body. It seems unavoidable, at the gym I park in the larger spaces out the front, haven't been to a multistory and park miles away from stores to have no cars next to me but STILL had someone do it. Rant over
  13. Some interesting information on that page

  16. Whenever I put my car in any insurance websites it always comes up as 1993 Mitsubishi Pajero Td, 2835CC Diesel, 5DR, Manual. Why is this a car that was scrapped then the plates were used on the Supra when it was registered? The plates match up on the V5 document just seems weird to me!
  17. Really? Me and my friend where testing this on his private land, and got just under the 7 second mark in a NA auto on a few runs from a dead start, Used a few apps and a stopwatch to get as much accurate readings as we can. Completely stock except the exhaust
  18. "No vehicle that matched the data you entered could be found" :blink:
  19. Don't think this is to bad for a face lift NA Auto http://www.autotrader.co.uk/used-cars/toyota/supra/used-toyota-supra-3-0-3dr-bournemouth-fpa-201511028366344?logcode=p If the miles are genuine and hasn't been clocked. MOT history is coming up as 'gold' in the colour though. Probably make a nice NA-T project, Wonder if anyone has seen this or knows of it Just curious not looking to buy myself but housemate is on the lookout
  20. Gonna be getting this after work on my PS4 Anyone want to add me its kris-cross
