View Full Version : FCS - Your car and its bad bits
For me - N340 LRG has a rust spot on its passenger side arch, currently no front bumper and a set of alloys which really need refurbing.
Atleast the sunroof is fixed :lol:

surely your getting that bumper sprayed for a car show!?
Its been sprayed mate. Collected it last night.
BUT - its not to my standards and ive fallen out with the paint sprayer. So the Brand new bumper (sprayed yesterday in monico blue) is now forsale.
I will bring it to FCS if anyone would like it. Im going to have a go at correcting the problem...so it still could be rescued.

hmmm...
what is the problem?
The bump strips have a edge of paint which wasnt masked up correctly.
Instead of the masking tape going right into the recess - he did it half way down. So there is a line of paint where there shouldnt be. Apart from that its very good.
I will post pictures tonight.
the problem with mine is that its still a 1.2 and the rear bumper sticks out a bit where the arches on a valver should sit :(
mine has gone to the body shop today to get the cancer removed off the rear wheel arch and driver door, gona be there for a few days, what am i going to do? when she gets back oil and filter change, coolant flushed and gearbox fluid changed!
My car has a decient list of things to sort our exterier and power etc wise but the biggest problem is brakes I just don't have any.

Mine is immaculate inside and out and never suffers from a single problem. :roll:

Least you can fix your brakes I'm stuck with no bleed valve and not so much brake fluid more air with bits of fluid in it.
No bleed valve??
The front drivers side one doesn't have any sides on it to get anything on and mole grips won't budge it.
The passenger sides front err I cannot find it it looks like its snapped off and the calipers so covered in rust it's bound to not come out.
Anyway Richspeeds not far from home might see about poppping over before hand.
I had a similar problem on the nana...had to get a new rear caliper. Those 4 pots will sort you out though...and you should be able to flog the big disc thats on there for a few quid!
Thats the plan.
I've just got to get the brakes to keep me alive for a few hundred miles
