  3. Has anyone bought these dials? If so, can they really be fitted without removing the needles? Cheers http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-SUPRA-AUTO-MANNUAL-WHITE-DIALS_W0QQitemZ290144290115QQihZ019QQcategoryZ10428QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

  8. Looks good mate, how long did it take start to finish?
  9. Was that the one with the lazio and Roma yobs? I think Juve we in it too.
  10. It's been on a while, I think they're being repeated now. Good series. The Turk and South American yobs are mental, they put our hooligans to shame!
  11. These are very expensive new, I've seen them on eBay.
  12. I'd love to see the insurance quote!
  13. Any more of that and you'll be sent to bed without any tea
  14. If I was looking to buy a car and I saw that it was under sealed, I would be suspicious that it was hiding something. IMO I'd leave it.

    dash rings

    The plastic ones were probably from a dealer who make huge profits on cheap products, I'm talking about nett prices from manufacturers not list prices. No disrespect to cowboys products as I'm sure they are top notch and they will look fantastic fitted, but I'm pretty sure that most of the £71 that you're paying for the set of rings is labour with some profit. All I am saying is, you can get very close to the same quality for a fraction of the price by sourcing them from China, you could probably get them in stainless steel for a 10th of the price, I mean they are only aluminium rings, were not talking cylinder heads here.

    I just took a proper look at the thread for Cowbays REAL aluminium dash rings, for some reason I thought they were £25 for the set, but they are £71 for pre-facelift & £75 for facelift, I nearly fell off my chair When I ewtimated the chinese price being £4.50 i meant for a set of 3, not each, I'm definitely in the wrong business

    The chinese market can be a bit of a mine field and I have had products in the past that have fallen short of my expectations but I now have very good relationships with Chinese companies that provide high quality machined parts, everything is quality controlled and manufactured to international standards. We source these products for some big OEM companies in the UK, if the quality was crap they wouldn't re-order from us, but they do.

    You are entitled to your opinion Eric, but your view on Chinese products is a little old fashioned. Like Konio-nt said, they are just alumium rings, nothing special in that, REAL Aluminium is used worldwide not just in your workshop, they're not made from platinium you know! I have dealt with Chinese factories for nearly 9 years and in that time bought 100's of thousends of products, yes there is some crap out there but there are also some very good and highly equipped factories. The only difference between buying from you and the chinese is the chinese can make the same products for a fraction of the cost. You charge £25 for 3 aluminium rings, in China this price would be closer to £4.50 per set and thats being very generous in my estimation! For example, I was quoted $10 (£5!!!) for rear brake discs for my Supra, I got a couple of FOC samples, fitted them to my car 15 months ago and they are still on there now, nothing wrong with the quality!
  19. If not sold by 8pm today, they will going on eBay. I have also posted some better photo's
