  1. No problem man, I have been to my friend's garage before for a brake change and ended up spending all day there. Being around garages is fun . The coils gave me exactly what I was looking for so I am very pleased with them, and I should probably be through the next couple hundred miles in a week or so, so I shall bell you then to arrange. Yeah I was uberly impressed, when I first got there he said the machine can't do it so I was a bit , but then he goes but I can give it a couple wacks with a hammer if you would like. I thought well since it needs doing anyway to look good might as well, so he went off and wacked it a few times and just wow, I honstly couldn't tell the lip had ever been buckled. And he didn't charge me to boot.
  2. That would be my car that had this happen to. Really I saw Tony at it when it snapped and to be honest if it snapped with what little pressure he put on it gives me chills thinking how easily it could have snapped on a pot hole on the road. Overall, yes the install did take longer then expected, but the attention to detail the chap who did it put into it, well I was impressed. And I got to oogle a ferrari and read through car mags while I waited. When it did happen they tried to get the part but it was late in the day and I managed to get a company down in Portsmouth to get me them, popped down there with a mate, came back, next morning got picked up from my house by a nice man, taken to WIM where the car was fixed and allignment done and WOW is all I could say after driving it. Now having driven it just over 400 miles in the last week or so, vast majority of it being for pleasure, well says it all really. Overall totally chuffed by the service I recieved, the general attitude of the staff, and the springs and allignment are top notch too. Ohh I went back to WIM to straighten a slightly buckled lip on the wheels I wanted refurbing anyway, the chap said yeah give us a few mins, I start reading the article on the elise on the wall, half way through it and he is back adn the wheel is better then new. I honestly couldn't tell where the buckle had been. Tony mate top job and want to give you a proper thank you next time I am down there. Want to get some good tyres on there and drive it on roads that aren't snowed over before I put up a proper proper review but even on the crappy budget tyres I have the car handels very well, is stable, and I can almost call it comfortable on our rough roads. EDIT: @HMS: Yes it was Autolink who I phoned up and the nice chap agreed to put it in a bag outside the door for me since I was getting there quite late. Saw some wheels I wanted while I was down there but he wouldn't sell me them beacuse they were his .
