6n2 front left wing panel in black

Hi,

Some idiot seems to have kicked in my car on the front left wing panel, looking to find a replacement in mint or very good condition.

PM or text me (07824 661700) if you have something.

Thanks!

Did you prime yours first before colour painting?

Re: Axle stand - front location

Do I need anything special to get the wheels off? My friend was saying his alloys have a special nut. I didn't get anything when I brought the car.

Re: Removing rear door card

Thanks, I'll give it a go tomorrow when it's light again. You make it sound too easy though, I was pushing the spacer thing around as quoted by Hayes but that did nothing. Think I've bust it now as it's loose and doesn't sit flush anymore. Tried pulling the handle with all my strength but stupid ...

Removing rear door card

Does anyone know how you do this when you have manual wind down windows? The handle seems to be secure in place.

I've done the front one but the rear speakers are the ones i want out most as they've blown so i'm left half finished doing the job, which is really annoying!

Thanks.

Re: Axle stand - front location

Would I be able to drive home then if the paint takes 24hours to dry? Or just without braking! :shock:

Re: How do you make a 2001 1.4 16V 100BHP faster??

What's a scorpion system? How much does it cost?

I have the same model as you but am finding it lacks guts and throttle response in nearly every gear, I've read stuff on the remapping but 8bhp gains sounds tiny for the cost and without being able to try the difference first.

Nevermind, good purchase all the same but screen is a little small and fliddy controls, actually think it makes it more dangerous to drive than before!
