Diz Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 From one petrolhead lady to another - a big hello and welcome! Your car is a beauty. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diz Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 kathernson82, I was on the verge of throwing a tantrum at a breaker I recently ordered parts from, but was being pretty impatient, as they knew of something more suitable (colour matched) coming in. Damn my feckin' hormones, TF my BF was talking to them. I should know better after 20+ years of scavenging around breakers yards, often in the rougher parts of Glasgow, quote "it's a c*** tae get it oot, and it'll be an even bigger c*** tae fit it in" was the usual advice! The breakers I used recently were in Fleetwood, Cumbria, and break Scoobies on a regular basis. They do up their own vehicles too. I got a boot lid for £40, rear bumper for £100. Most damage is to the outside of the vehicle so if you are looking for inner bits they probably have a whole bunch of nice inner stuff intact. Fairly new to the forum myself, so don't want to upset the mods posting unauthorized URLs. You sound like you want to make a nice job of your car - mine has a six-CD changer fitted between the rear passenger seat and boot, something you might be interested in. Makes the original frontage less appealing for theft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBosh Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks for the heads up on the breakers i may have to take a trip up there soon its not too far [he says] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggs Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 fleetwoods pretty much on my doorstep, ive been to that particular one a few times with a mate of mine and it proved to be most useful for hard to find bits, theres always the option to stop by here for a brew too if the mood takes you 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggs Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 i like a good coffee and have nothing better to do most days than sit around drinking it so it's not an offer i'd regret 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Sounds like a challange :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathenson82 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks for all that info, unfortunately i am based on the south coast so would be a bit of a trek up there lol. Ive been ebaying it up so have most things already now haha altho still looking for an sti spoiler if anyone knows of one going cheaper than £115 and maybe some replacement seats if mine dont clean up at the weekend. Have just finally got round to cleaning the outside today thanks to rain finally giving us a break and have found my rear passenger light has a hole in it, so need a new one of those too :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
