That scuff looks ok to polish out and t-cut will be fine on that area but little use as possible going forward and back direction only.....

As for your headlining it sounds like it's to late with the glue passing through the lining, you could try cleaning it but may make it worse : /

I had the same problem. It can be fixed by putting a few small washers (about 3 or 4 will do) on the screws in between the foglight and the bumper.

Gets rid of that silly gap!

Cheers.

Anyone know the best place to get good but cheap alloys from ?


I want black ones really, but want them to be a good make with a good cheapish price tag.


Im a cheapa$$ I know, but I dont want to buy a set with a cheap price tag, if their cheap, nasty and not worth the money.


Any tips and or help would make me happy.

P.S. You may laugh at my cheapa$$ness. :D

As you know I had my windscreen fitted yesterday and I just wanted to check something.

In the top pic, Im 99.9% sure the gap is right between the windscreen and the shut door.

But in the 2nd pic when the door is open the gap looks really big. I think the prob could be im looking into the gap prob to much, but just wanted to check they look right with anyone who can help.


Also my headlineing seems to have droped or something, I took a pic but you could not see it, has anyone else had this problem.


Thanks

£75.00 via the insurance.

Windscreen update Got to go to the only Autoglass in Cornwall morro :x as the trim(the part where the wipers are) which sits on the windscreen itself has not stuck right :roll: and they are going to have a look at the headlineing as well for me.

The windscreen on a 6N2 should go in behind the door when it's closed in both sides... Unless it's 6N windscreen...

Checked with autoglass and the windscreen is fine, and the headlining is ment to be like that, after you had your windscreen replaced, as they dont push it right up like vw, to help the windscreen from cracking or somthing.
