Supercheap has gone to ****, they used to have some good stuff but seem to have got rid of it all in favour of home brand **** like 'calibre'

I agree, they are trying to live up to their name too much.
The quality of their stuff has gone down.
That is what you get from cheap Chinese crap I suppose.
I was looking at a jack there the other day and the welding on I was terrible.

They still have decent stuff but the trouble is people always want cheap, cheap sells. If you're going to use it once people don't buy snap-on etc. But its a pita only selling supercheap quality stuff. Saying that I bought a black and Decker heat gun the other day, and it was almost twice the price and similar quality to their Rockwell series. Which is junk.

The only thing I've got there of late is some contact adhesive to re fit my side mouldings. Sticks like baby poo to a blanket.

While you are painting the Mazda badge turn it into the Evil Mazda Badge.

Marc - have been thinking about doing that and getting the red sport20 decals for the side aswell but got the badges off a forum member for cheap so see what happens :-)

Ben - ended up getting the paint from *cough* supercheap *cough* cant remember the brand off the top of my head the can is sitting at work. Will find out and post on here.

Yes black cars SUCK for dirt but look oh so sexy when clean


Well i tried lamin-x my rear lights the other weekend and failed massively :-(

so instead with my last pre-made sheet for the rear lights i managed to cut out 2 pieces out just for the rear blinkers.

Hey swift jimmy, (from a few pages back), what happened wen you got charged with the Pod Filter? Did they defect you? or fine you..? Reason I'm asking is 'cause I just fitted my K&N 57i kit and only recently learned that its not legal..,/^%#$@
