I will get a heated tinted soon (fortnight?)... but I need to get the screen out anyway to sort all the rust... otherwise most of the screen surround will pull off at the same time as the screen...

look at the pic of the crack, thats a good bit :shock:

Sodding ebay timewasters :twisted: :twisted:

The person that I bought a replacement head from on ebay has decided he doesnt want the sale (after a fair amount of poking with no response) and has sent my money back :shock: which is nice, but I need to find another head now :twisted: :twisted:

Been playing cutting out metalwork and putting a rattle can topcoat over the panels I have put in...
