I was thinking after talking to you, if your going through insurance then don't buy any parts yourself ! It won't make any difference to the claim in there eyes and you'll be out of pocket :?

The body shop bloke the van has been taken to said as long as the chassis legs are ok then it's mostly part swapping with a little pannel beating and paint

Not ever the "right" thing to do, but if your giving it the beans, then do it on a quiet motorway, speed kills more than bugs on your screen.

:wink: Yeh it's the impact and speed in the wrong situation that kills :( I often start early doors and quite regularly hear crotch rockets screaming down the motorways at 3am 8) Just wish I knew when they where going to go for it as I'd like to spectate 8) :lol:

Just heat up from behind. You might be better off sticking it in the oven for 10 mins just to soften it before you hit it with heat gun. :wink:

cheers I'll give it a go.
on a different note does any body else think their 235/50/18 alloys look small? I assume the ride height on the 350 rwd is higher than the rest? fitted 1 and it was smaller overall than the other wheel( which I just didn't think would be the case although some simple maths would have done lol)
think I'll have to lower it a couple of inches :?
