Nah theres no scratches on the where the side strips used to be... just the residue... the weathers not been kind to me lately so not been able to wax it yet :(
...just wondering why don\'t many people like ripspeed? :? lol i don\'t think they\'re that bad, i think... though i\'ve only got a gear knob and pedal from them lol :P so i don\'t really know

Lol i want a gsi spoiler but too much money still :P
the steelies are going... so don\'t worry about that! paying for my alloys weekly lol, because its the best way for me :P so in around 5... maybe slightly more weeks i\'ll have new alloys... i\'ll post pics of them when i get them :)

Very very very bad idea paying them up. What about if u have an accident and lose your alloys coz of it. You will have no alloys plus still be having to pay for them.
GSi spoiler aint that much! Pick 1 up for about £30-£40 and to spray it will only be about £40

i\'ve not got the alloys yet and its sold to me so no one else can buy it :)made sure no one else could buy them whiels i was paying weekly for em :P
plus i\'m not too good at saving up, and don\'t like using alot of money all at once :P

where abouts can i get the gsi spoiler for 30-40? :S lol

looks like its coming along nicely, ripspeed interior stuff isnt too bad but i wouldnt trust any other aspects of their after market stuff, you kinda get what u pay for with that stuff and id personally prefer the peace of mind knowing ive bought parts from a reputable dealer thats been established for a long time and built up a good reputation for quality which ripspeed havnt as of yet

just my opinion tho
