Mk 2.5 Help/advice?

Featured Replies

First off, Merry Christmas lads/ladys!

Anyway, after being in a bump a few months back I am finally getting somewhere with the car in terms of repair.

I need a few more bits but for now I need some advice, I am hoping to get a lot of the work done over the Christmas period. I need an idea of a price to spray the front bumper Vision blue and also an idea of how to replace the air con radiator (condenser?). If anyone has any idea about these things id really appreciate it.

P.S Anyone know of any good 4 wheel alignment centres in Nottingham?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jordan,

Merry Christmas

lucky for you; the stock Air Conditioning radiator is known to leak due to bad factory welds,

So there may well be a guide online somewhere explaining how to swap it out.

Regarding spraying front bumper panel would be anything between 250 and 500

If I was you mate, od hold off on that specific job until January because the body shops will have less business in the new year as I'm theroy all small repairs for January trade in will have been sorted, business will be slack and you should get it painted at a lower price than now.

Unfortunately I can't advise on laser tracking alignment specialist in your area.

Or find a bumper in the same colour.

Oh yeah bah humbug

Cheers Lenny, I was expecting that kind of price and ill keep looking online for a guide, shouldn't be too hard though. just wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks. Thanks again! By the way, is there a PDF or other downloadable version of your amp and sub fitting guide? Im looking at upgrading the entire system and Im sure that would help down the line.

No problem,

I don't have the amplifier panel guide in PDF

In order to create the PDF I need access to a Windows based PC with Microsoft Word installed,

I use a 2.5" android based mobile phone to photograph and create the guides.

I do have plenty of images on file and I can guide you through the process when the time comes no problem.
