christmas list..
The other (or better) half has done most of the christmas shopping already and needs a few more ideas, I'm sure this will apply to others as
well.
What items for a locost under £25 should be on the list.
Obviuosly I've already got some stuff, but am struggling to think of many cheap things! odds and sods i guess.
Also these items need to be fairly easy for a non kitcar person to buy ie need to be easy to describe or from a specific manufacturer/shop etc.
Can't be stuff like trim and stuff you need to see.
Parts as opposed to tools too.
Examples:
front bike type indicators
side repeaters
dash switches
nosecone grill?
suggestions please!
Ned.

Good post Ned! Need to come up with a few things for my list! 
If they're desperate you always get vouchers from Halfords! That's easy for them!
And yes, there are things worth buying from there. For a start, people have said that their Sierra wheel bearings are cheap. And, as I found the other
day, their long flexible waterhoses are pretty cheap too.
They also have quite a nice rev gauge with shift light. (~£50).
What *do* you buy the man who has everything?!

a few reasonable bits on premier wiring, especially as I could save on postage (they're 1/2 mile round corner!)
led rear fog light
rounded rear light clusters
also type 9 quickshift kit from raldes
rubber bonnet latches from lolo's
and the search continues...
beware, I've got yellow skin

I agree with Steve on this - although may be I could find a use for the Duct tape at around the same time

Steve and Mark, try this:

Or this:
http://www.hersheypa.com/accommodations/the_spa_at_hotel_hershey/
"The Spa at THE HOTEL HERSHEY, a sanctuary where chocolate is not just a treat to eat, but a necessary ingredient for innovative spa treatments
such as the Whipped Cocoa Bath, Cocoa Butter Scrub and Chocolate Fondue Wrap."
The girl with the lime slices, is that frozen margarita she is covered in?

I'm with you on this too. I'll buy all the car stuff I want, when I want.
For Christmas, I want all the stuff I don't normally get or think of.
Cheers, Rorty.
