I've never serviced the Lancer (warranty, CPS, blah blah), but never even considered anything but a Ryco or whatever the local shop stocks on previous cars. Wouldn't even cross my mind to go and buy an OEM filter. Come to think of it, I hardly expect the OEM is anything but an unbranded thing from t...

Cost for the paint repair $200-300.

I had insurance repair at Grand Prix as well, they're Grand Prix as in Grand Prix Mazda. It was a tiny bumper scuff that someone gave me in a car park, I haven't thought about it since so they've obviously done a decent job. No panel damage, just paint - if I remember I'll have a dig to see how much...

I agree, if it is very new (i.e before 1 month service), just tell them you noticed it when you take it in for first service.

But if you've had it for months, I doubt they would do it without charging.

Changed my rear swaybar from the middle setting to the stiffest. Might have made a small difference, nothing like going from stock to the whiteline in the first place.

To be honest, I don't think these locations would be worth the effort - even once you have permission you'd have to deal with pedestrians etc on the day. The two example photos are really quite poor, so if that is the best result a (presumably) professional can achieve, I think it would be more trou...

Whenever I see someone with one of those hooks I just think That person must reaalllly be expecting to crash or break down.

No

They look awesome Nico, I've got a cordless fluoro tube coming in the post, can't wait til it arrives so I can get some light painting working properly

[quote:10a0d445fd=debonaire]Had a go at some night photos. Disappointed with how it went, but I think Ive learned what to do for next time. Spent too long trying to get one good shot, need to focus on exposing separately for different parts of the car. [img:2972f400e5]https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akam...

Happy days! Great result, hope it all goes smoothly

Titanium looks great, you'll be glad you went to the trouble.

[quote:5a987cf0e7=debonaire]I wouldnt swap to silver - not that nice a colour and has been around for ages. Titanium is a new colour so will set your car apart and not look outdated. When I got my Ralliart it was the only white hatch in the country and had to come from Melbourne - dont know what I ...
