just put a consevatory on the house :smiley:

The conservatory money pit - just looking at getting one too, including an extension aswell.  Did you go for anything fancy?  been looking into underfloor heating and where the plasma will fit ;)

Did the underfloor heating pal, its the future, in fact its keeping my tootsies warm right now :laugh:

It depends what floor your thinking of having, I found a company that does a system designed for laminate and its brilliant, you get a digital programmable display and everything else you need, you just tell them the size of the room and they send you a box :smiley:

Revo stg2+ & lots more

....Are you going to put stainless steel braided hoses on the underfloor heating system? S3 or stock intercooler radiators? Slatted carbonfibre window blinds? :evil:

LOL - for a change, RedRobin is trying to drag a thread back on topic!  :tongue:  :evil:

Staying with the conservatory, you'll need Ceramic brakes to rein in your KKK04 window openers!  :laugh:

So what's the best option,

How deep are your pockets?  That really needs to be the first question to be answered.  For around £300, upgraded pads should see a big improvement.  And at the other extreme, £2k will get you a nice set of 10-pot Tarox calipers and discs.

What car was that on?
