Seatbelt pads - not for me personally

Plastics removal guide - my video ;)

Asian grill - usually eBay

eBay - just put in your details and register!

Asian Grills are worth it, had one on my Zetec S prefacelift and made the car stand out.

Hidden in my garage now, really ought to sell the thing >.<

thank you for heads up one off the list :D

yeah they just get caught up and stop the belt retracting especially when you have a 3 door.

Seat belt pads, along with bonnet bras & wind deflectors must be the most pointless mods going.

Agree on the first 2 but wind deflectors do serve a purpose and work very well.

i dont like the bonnet bras but my wind deflectors work a treat nearly no noise from wind until around 70mph

does anyone know much about vinyl wrapping the plastic interior ???

and a guide on how to wire an illuminated gear knob as all i can find is people talking about them ???

If you are setting up an eBay account you will also need a PayPal account to pay for items, that takes a few days to organise and verify your bank account.

Some sellers won't let you buy if you don't have any feedback so make sure you buy from shops and avoid Hong Kong sellers they are usually not great quality especially the LED bulbs.

you can just pay through paypal and it comes straight off the card :)

you dont need to upload money onto the account

thank you does it come off straight away when you buy an item ??? so they get the money and post it soon as????

Yeah comes out instantly

i think you have to verify your actual bank account number if you want to sell items on ebay,

anyway be warned there are fake things on ebay and id miss stuff from china and places like that they sell fake cheap copies of car parts and all sorts of things, i know this from owning an rx8 they sell fake coils which burn out really quick.

i even bought something from America and ended up coming from Thai wan.

to become a seller you do have to have your paypal verified, i.e. they take two transactions out of your account, within i think 3 weeks, and you have to let them no both amounts. (only about 0.60p and the money goes straight back in) :)

and as for buying items just look around at the reputation, and question why it is extremely cheap lol :)
