my mate who knew "damtheman" decided to buy his car when he dissapeared off to SA, and even tho it looks rubbish, F390 MUT isnt actually that bad of a car. due to me and my mate being bored we offered to de-chav his chariot over the course of the next couple of weeks. as you guys know, the only way to properly de-chav something is by way of the chavotomy, an anti chav "pimp my ride" as it would be. pics to follow soon

Chavectomy, surely?

no, a chavectomy merely stops it spreading. To fully remove the chavness of this car it has to undergo a chavotomy. LMAO

Sorry mate, misinterpreted the post... i thought youd actually bought some off someone else and wanted to have these if they were already on the car and were going to be removed. i vaguely remember that some people didnt get their bits when he pissed off to SA.
i wouldnt say he was a little prick..... he was huge... still a prick tho

Yeah, i paid 55 quid for them on 1/10/94, and that was the last i heard from him. Needless to say it wasn't the last he heard from me!

That was me. the convosation. to be fair i thought he was okay until i went back to uni and wasnt there to buy stuff off him and help with his car breaking mission. lol.. datourer if you want your smoked rears email me your address, my email is (address removed), and we can organise stuff for postage. to be fair they aint the best pair ive seen, as they could do with a laquer.... but they will do the job just fine.

So they're not genuine smoked lenses then...?
Not worth having IMO. Might as well do it yourself.
If you;re not confident enough to do it yourself, I'll do a pair for you if you want for the price of the spray and lenses... no probs.
Giles.
P.S. - Looking forward to pics of the chavotomoy when it's complete. You doing 'before' and 'after' pics...?

yeah, although i cant find the lead to my digital camera at the mo... stage 2 was done yesterday night, chav bumpers removed and originals test fitted back on. they will be removed today, cleaned up and sprayed to be colour coded.... and a good colour code job too, just like std ones. its also in dire need of a service, and i think the valve clearances need doing on it too.... will these be different if it has a race cam? im currently at work, being cheeky while i should be doing CAD lol, my mate has taken over the chavotomy amongst other things to do with a saab he is selling
