17 inches...

[The Patrolman]

Thanks Alex. It will be done on the cheap with aerosol cans in the back alley, I may get to use the garage next door as my mine is full of stuff

 

[AlexD333]

I look forward to it. One day I want to inherit your patrol :kissy

 

[Sweety]

Are you thinking of painting it all black or having it red over black ie from the side windows down black

 

[The Patrolman]

That's a thought, but probably all black:nenau

 

[The Patrolman]

Well on the original 17" theme i have found my additional spare plus a spare spare:thumb2
X2 pro comp MT's for £155 delivered:thumb2:thumb2:thumb2

 

[The Patrolman]

Not too bad a price as I was going to get a BFG Mt for £145

The Matt Black look is growing on me but don't know if I'm brave ( or stupid:nenau ) enough to do the full thing:sly

Some of the lacquer is coming of the Metallic Red so I could just flat it off and go all black:nenau

I have to say, that Matt black does grow on you, I like it, but a valid point about getting hot.

Mind you, my T2 is gloss black, and with temperatures of 39degC last week, I burnt the side of my hand on the paintwork.......ouch! You can barely touch the black leather steering wheel, and temperatures of 50+ were measured in the cab.........I don`t think you will get that in UK where you are though........:thumb2

Just been back on to the insurance company as the want an extra £42 on a £230 policy for a paint colour change as they think it is a modification.
I said I was only painting the wings that were declared as a modification but they were not having any if that either.
I am waiting a call back when they have listened to the original conversation on which the policy was sold to me.
I told them that I had started to paint the wings black and may or may not do all of the car and there was no mention of a policy increase.

It is so important when talking to companies like insurance, or utilities, to make a note of the date, time, person you spoke too, and particular points of discussion. I often just jot it on the utility bill...

I recently raised a customer complaint with BT about a feature I didn't want as I had told them to cancel it... however next quarter I was still being charged... any how, I referred to a conversation that they had recorded, and after 10 days I had a written transcript of that conversation on that day, which proved I had requested the cancellation.
Next was a phone call from them.....
Basically what can we do to put things right...?:augie
Well last month we went over our broadband usage... they waived that...
Oh.... and the month before... ok...
Now we have free caller display, and we are now paying £10 less per month with unlimited broadband now lol...
However... our concession was to sign up for 12 months.

They refused to fill the Mav tank with diesel though lol...
:lol:lol

Sounds like Adrian Flux to me
I've had similar issues in the past. I simply asked them to refer to the recording of my agreement to the policy. In that I was promised no admin fees for future "non performance related" modifications. What do you know, they couldn't find it, but agreed that I was right.
People power :naughty

Have to say Adrian Flux have never tried to increase my premium despite declaring all my mods as none have been classed as performance related (and I mean all mods) :nenau

Interestingly my tyre size increase to 32" was just noted as "larger tyres" so there was no point in telling them when I went from 32" to 33".

Ah yes but tell them anyway. If some herbert slashes your tyres they may quibble if your 33s are £200 each
It took me months to get AF to confirm in writting the mods I had declared. I wanted to be sure the chappie on the phone had transcribed correctly as there was no mention of the actual mods on the policy , other than "modified suspension" or "larger tyres". I have flippin' expensive offroad type alloys and wanted them written in and confirmed that locking wheel nuts were not reqd etc.
Cover is one thing, getting paid out quite another :sly

 

[The Patrolman]

Yep.Adrian Flux. And they still have not called me back:nenau
On the plus side my two new Pro Comp 37" s should be waiting at home for me on Friday.
I think I'll put them both on the rear and keep the coopers on the front and use the Mickey Thompson as the spare and the last cooper as the spare spare:thumb2
Next on the list is a decent rear bumper and a full set of late 17" patrol wheels tomatchmy spare, I think that will have to wait until next year

 

[The Patrolman]

Whoop whoop:clap
PayPal payment sent at 1pm yesterday.
Tyres on the door step at 08:30 this morning.

 

[solarman216]

that is what you call service, Rick

 

[The Patrolman]

The courier also broke down the packaging disposed of the pallet and rolled them into the hallway for my missus! Topman:thumb2

 

[solarman216]

Who was the courier? I may use them in the future, Rick

 

[The Patrolman]

Not sure till I get home on Friday ! But I think it's down to the individual and the recipient, I guess he didn't want to suffer the wrath of a tired mother on day 3of the school holidays at 08:30am :thumb2

 

[The Patrolman]

Look what I found in that garage this morning:thumb2

 

[The Patrolman]

And yes! that is a 5ft chest freezer behind them
