  1. Don t use them they do the talk but not the walk they charge top end money but u don't get a top end job they take for ever use low end materials look at a car a couple of years down the line I know I have been on the inside there if my meomry is correct the blokes running are Keith and tony big avoid do plenty of home work I may have number I can recommend I need to get that persons permission first good luck let me know how u get on
  2. Mine is the L reg amalfie blue mk 5 at the back what a fantastic day and experience despite not being much sun still managed to get burnt. Got a face like a beet root
  3. Heard to many bad things about Aviva would not go with them if u paid me lol
  4. It's nice to look nice but its all about taking part least when it is finished people will see all the hard work that as gone in to it see you there
  5. What time are u thinking ollie will be coming from Stevenage she is already and looks the part just a couple of silly jobs to finish I want her to be perfect will see you there a whole new experience to me mark
  6. Little London will u be on stand at silver stone if so we can compare your Matisse blue to my amalfie blue I would say the car in the picture is Matisse blue but better be safe than sorry and still check the colour code
  7. I agree I used comma jack oil piece of cake no problems
  8. Oao comes up as not a paint code fords are generally two letters and number good luck
  9. Just painted wings and bumpers jobs left are oil and cooling van switch pozer mouldings flat and polish and a clean I agree with maido it's about showing them of keeping the scene a live she may not be perfect buts she's built not brought and all mine good luck every one we all need it
  10. Big g that's what every one said about mine but it was not i have seen a few where the colour code does not match what's acutaly been put on the vehicle
  11. Mine is very similar mine is cx3 amalfie blue or it could be Matsie blue despite my vin plate saying this it don't look right so I resprayed the whole car amalfie blue you will see it at ford fair if you go it's an l reg I will look your colour code up at work tommow as I work in a body shop mark
  12. Last night spent about 4 hours painting wings ,bumpers , 1 whole lower half not bad after a 9 hr day in another bodyshop all looks good so v happy go to pick up brand new ford focus and it has a dent in the door and not cleaned to well so to chill out over it spend the day on the escort and done the following fitted a remote central locking kit, repaired dash lights , and fix courtsy lights, jobs left which will be done for ford fair replace both door poser mouldings fit both a oil pressure and cooling fan switch then a final clean just shows you can beat an old trusty ford built not brought least you know what you get and it just shows you can't always trust a main dealer
  13. I have mk5 Amalfi blue I am going to paint the callipers and drums red as any one else got any other ideas was going to do them body colour but a few people say it looks other the top any ideas please thanx mark

  17. Those wheels look fantastic yours is the same colour as mine compared to yours my wheels now look like marbles I think mine are si wheels they were on her when I brought her got my ford fair ticket booked so hopefully see you there what blue is yours mine is on an l plate
  18. For got to ask on the listing it states ticket admits driver and car and passengers pay on the gate but can they still order tickets direct from the organiser to get in on the day bit of a stupid question but just checking thanx mark
