Wow, everything looks like it's done professionally, even the pictures.

When you've nothing else to be doing other than watching someone work, taking a few photographs is a welcome distraction

Nice on Paddy was just it free?

They sorted the install for me, and I've given them some of the pictures they can use if they want so it's a win/win.

Could always do it yourself. Would be cheaper and more rewarding.

Gavman84

I would rather let the professionals do it to be honest I would end up with bubbles everywhere would look crap. Barely manage a screen protector on phone!!

YbFocus

A friend tried that before and it looked like this

Gavman84

Ya that's what I'd end up with only prob worse!! Don't mind paying for proper job

GvidoR

Did he even use a piece of plastic to apply it?

I just robbed that from google man, it wasn't that bad but still

After the cost of the wrap and the head wreck of applying it. Finally leading to a few bubbles I'd never be happy with I'd just let the pros at it

GvidoR

...or you could become a pro yourself :P

Keeping on topic, cos thats what it's all about round here I tightened my seat in the astra cos it was loose, and found some insurance for the saab, which was a battle and a half!

It was €170 with a 12 month warranty but it's dependant on the size of the car as far as I know.

Gavman84

Cheers Paddy Iv an Accord so I imagine it should be around the same here in cork. Think I'll go 35% tint.

Yeah can't beat freebies. Nicely done.

Changed the pollen / cabin filter this morning before having breakfast. So, I took off the glove box and saw this:



So I had to unscrew the metal piece going across and move it down so I have room to take out the filter.



Here it is with the filter taken out.



...and here's the new and the old filter for comparison.

YbFocus

That eh... Was needed

cena

Well needed. Anyone here know how to replace one on a 07 astra

GvidoR

It seems to be behind or under the glove box for most cars.

Badly needed by looks of it. Satisfying job to do and easy too!

Just ordered some smoked side indicators for the e46. I have clear ones/silver bulbs which look good, but this is just to see if I like it.

Don't think the film would work so well on such a small part. Its very cheap anyway!

With all this talk about pollen filters, I decided to check ours. Avert your eyes :eek:





Minging! A new one will be ordered as soon as I can find the credit card
