Shouldn't have opened it if its a present!

Where, price, when can I have one 8)

[an02rew]

All the way from the states http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-udmsfx-kit.html

Only took about a week to come, couldn't resist the temptation to open it, had to make sure everything was there, and they also shoved in some nice new microfibre towels free of charge.

i can't use it yet though, because it came from america it has a two pin plug so i have ordered an adapter from ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/110v-US-UK-Adapter-Porter-Cable-Commando-Plug-Lead_W0QQitemZ190177809388QQihZ009QQcategoryZ96942 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

you could alternatively change the plug, but i just ordered this cable to keep the warranty.

then you will need a transformer to step up/down the voltage from 110v to 240v so it can be used in the UK.

the total cost of my UDM was about $340 ish with lots of extra pads and postage, then i had my cable on top of that which came to £20, so the total was about £190, i will maybe get a transformer at a later date, but my dad has one so i will just nick it for time being :D.

any more questions just ask

[Daz.]

Cool - when do you plan on playing then??

[MAXIBOY]

can you use a standard 110v transformer like the one we use when doing site work..

just depends daz, car is going in for a full respray soon, hopefully this week fingers crossed, just waiting for the bodyshop to get back to me, they have the bonnet and bumpers down there at the moment just waiting to free up the space for the clio.

will probably be 2 weeks in the body shop, arches are getting replaced etc.

so anytime between now and after christmas, if i can't wait might just have a crack at the paintwork before the respray when my cable is in :D

[Daz.]

Practice first lol - imagine if you ballsed it after its been done :shock:

[an02rew]

also gonna hold onto the old bonnet for practising aswell.

how much have you been quoted for a full respray etc as i might get mine done :?

[an02rew]

£1553, thats including vat. i have a mk1 ph3, but im putting in on a valver front end etc and a few other bits, arches are getting replaced. total price includes fitting of all the parts aswell, a lot of preparation involved though.
