It's your car, don't worry about what George thinks smile

Have you got a picture of the DBS diffuser? Trying to find a solution to my back end (oo-er) and don't want s staright DBS replacement, something different preferred...
Hi, not worried about what George thinks in the slightest, I imagine it's an age thing !

Here's a picture of the DBS diffuser which was supplied paint finished to match car by The Vantage Collection, in theory it was meant to be an easy fit as holes line up with all the existing bolt fixings, however, it turned out not to be as simple as it sounded to get an even gap fit all round, I got Works Service to adjust and fit it properly when car went in for it's service (they thought it looked fantastic), and they only charged an hours labour (which is enough in itself but end result worth it) so not too sad !

Hope this helps !

I personally have never liked dark wheels unless it is a race car. I think the bright grille and wheels "lift" the car.

However, it's your car and you should do what you think looks good.

No Frank, it isn't. Same car, slightly different external colour, different interior colour, different year.....

However, if you wanted your own car then it's doable although the site appears to be down atm

I've been here 16years Phil and it's never been an easy house to sell. I think a builder has bought it. I was thinking of buying it to add to my housing benefits stock but thought the neighbours might complain.

I most certainly would have complained Neil, unless I was in on the deal with you biggrin

TBH I get better value looking for secondary property in Bebington these days !!

It was up a few years ago at £395,000 which I suppose isn't too bad for a 6 bedroom detached with 2/3 bathrooms. It was sold for about £250k at auction, needing a lot of work doing, with the fireplaces completely ripped out. It was owned by the young couple who owned the local sex shop...erm...so I've been told.

Our side of the road is Edwardian - I think the houses opposite were built slightly later - and we shall probably have a bit of a party next year? when the house is 100 yeas old. Still got 10 original stained glass windows (leaded) and inglenooks. We have re-installed fireplaces into 3 of the guest bedrooms on the first floor, 2 of which have now been converted into Beauty / Therapy / Spray Tan rooms for Karen's business. If you fancy being tango'd post-Brazil, just give her a shout rofl

In the attic bedrooms we also discovered under the carpets the original fireplace tiles for when they were used by servants (now called husbands) but we haven't reactivated the fireplaces. I have the original parchments etc of all the owners of the house as well as some of its original deeds !!

I hope you are enjoying your place as much !! smile

Georgio - as you well know, if one mixes blue and brown together one gets grey.

So why would I want to look the same colour as my hair?

Uh-huh

Well Phil you bought it off Mr Camp, You would expect a Solicitor to have all the paperwork in order!
I've just had an architect in, looking to make the garage bigger (what else) and replace some missing accomodation behind, so we are here for the long term. It's far to handy for the Indian and the Chineese to think of anywhere else.

It wasnt a sex shop Phil, they used to run the health food shop where the new Aldi is. He had a 3 series convertible before the jag and I nicknamed him the drug dealer. I was right.

The first three houses along from Woodchurch road were built in the 1890's. I have a plan showing everything else as field's. It's a bigger money pit than the Aston.

Hmm...Brian's name closed or opened doors depending on who you speak to but he was always fair with me. Him and Julie are no more together unfortunately.

As for the health food couple, I wondered why they looked at me strangely when I asked them for some free porn biggrin

I know these houses are costly but you have a Vanquish !!!!!!! I will need to pick your brains on Bridge Mill Motors for future reference as a couple of the PHers have done a reccy on them and they seem to be good smile
