    Hi O4OFF,

    I'd send em the bill mate.

    It amazes me how some businesses can stay in business when they ignore their customers when they have a problem with a product. Its the perfect opportunity for them to not only fix the problem but if they do it right then they will retain that customer as well as generate interest in their products because that customer will give advice to other users that if they do have a problem then that particular company will look after you. Its a no brainer for me but some people just dont get it.

    Cheers,

    Rob

    Good idea Mat, the guy that did the welding suggested the same, i looked at em, thought about it, and decided to retain the plastic dome end plugs that came with it tho.

    Yeah I have found with those plastic caps (similar to the ones in chassis) that the dirt and water still manages to find its way in also if you rub past something it could pop them out

    I still want to have access to inside the tubes for now, that way i can inspect/treat the rust the sand blasters can't get to, the caps actually fit quite well and i don't think they will become a issue, but if they do, ill just use Sikaflex to stick them in


    Besides that Mat, ive just ordered a set of new flares (aftermarket) , so if im going to be doing any "rubbing" against anything, ill be crying about much more than the "little caps" (lol)

    Thanks LJ,
    However, you will only really notice the pearl in certain light, so pretty most of the time it will just look like boring Nissan patrol white, but still, the factory white is quite a nice colour when fresh.

    Having the coats of clear over the white, make it much more glossy than it ever did from factory, this should also make it easy to wash and should not have to polish it very often, if at all (i hope)
