Does anyone know a composite supplier in or near BURY / Manchester? By composite I mean a place that sells fibreglass matting, resins, gelcoat etc?? In large quantities?.. Not tiny HALFORDS amounts. Basically Materials for Fibreglass work?.. These places tend to sell carbon fibre and Kevlar materials too..

Heres ours.. Does it qualify? Inverted riser blocks and camber bolts to alloy Legacy suspension.. which we fitted '5injen' performance springs and shocks with 40mm drop. The suspension conversion drops around 4'' as it is. We did a Turbo Back System and Complete Respray and LPG fitted Weve also fitted Standard Impreze suspension to a Forester but it involved modifying the top mounts in the rear.. The ONLY Forester to concider is the import which is Dramatically more powerful and well equipped than the UK equilivant. Most come with JDM option parts too and non ive seen have hi/lo selection.. all JDMs run LSD and are basically a JDM Impreza underneath. The UK Foresters have open diffs and shorter ratios.. Its black and white as to the Import being better.. IMO.. We usually Run a roof rack on ours and its now on AUDI RS4 alloys.

I have some plastic VW 4 bolt centre caps you can have if you want. I will drop them off next time I'm passing. Are they the 'flat' type? We have a set of nissan ones that have been smoothed but were needing to shave off the edges to make them a little smaller. Cheers dude!

We got the bumpers for the Camper Back from blasting.. Riddled with dents and in the front bumper, a few holes from fitting licence plates or some curse word. Intially Zinc primed then, welded up and ground back and ready for smoothing, re-priming!

Heres a little update on our banded Steelies for our K10 Micra. Weve had a 2'' band fitted on some 5.5'' VW wheels, this obviously gives us a Nice 7.5'' which gives us a nice stretch for a 165 or 175 profile. The banding process leaves a 'line or groove' on the dish of the rim which can be seen. This can be left or filled, but obviously here at Firely we smooth everything and choose some tasty colors!!.. Heres a breakdown of the process. -Size decided upon and donor wheels found. -wheels banded -pressure tested to check welds for pinhole leaks -165-60-13 tyres fitted ( this process can come after blasting ) ( We ended up fitting these ourselves as some tyre fitters are unsure about such a stretch ) -Sandblasted inside and out -Zinc Primed and imperfections filled, smoothed, refurbed, -Basecoat in 'super chrome' Silver -Candy Apple Red clears in layers to build up color -Clear coat over the top Were going for Full Candy on these, including some smooth centre caps that cover the nuts. ... I initially thought of a black centre, which I might still go with.

So bit of an update. We have a 2003 Skyline 350GT in for a medium repair. Collected a bonnet for it this week so the repair has been started!.. Yea! Got some big plans for this as it one of our cars.. complete colour change, #big single turbo conversion, tasty wheels etc. Should be good. ALSO.. Finally some movement on the body of the Subaru Pickup. Were getting the replacement arches in and all welded up! The last couple of months have been spent sorting the underneath, on and off, but its heading towards the complete respray

£45 for a basic Blowover of Four wheels.. that's just over £11 rim!! No refurb, just rub up, etch prime, basecoat and Clearcoat. Cheap as chips and really takes years off the wheels.
