yeah i asked em to do the throttle body, saves me doing it.

my bulb holders for the smoked stuff should be next door at vw, so can get them (leaves work for 10 mins..) wash me car later and fit the smoked stuff tonight.

just wondering if i'll be able to fit my mountain bike in my car with the back seats down.. BUT.. there are subs in the boot behind the rear seats that i cant move too.. eekk..  well i guess if i commit to it i'll have to. lol

LOL

Just in the process of buying new bike, considering getting a bike carrier, but have heard horror stories of scratched paintwork etc

Staying on the bike theme, I personally would get a roof rack and then buy a cycle carrier (the one where the bike stands up and is supported on the frame). At least this way you can still access the boot and dont have to worry about scratching the bodywork (as much). Tried both and the boot ones make it far too easy to scratch the car. At least with the roof mounted carrier, you can then carry an extra hitch hiker.... ;D
