Most guys in HK dont use hood cover they use the gauge holders which you can purchase from the parts shops.

If your after 2nd parts u have to travel out of MK now unfortunetly or grab a mag from the magazine stand option mag or something like that they usually list the parts there.
If your after new parts some shops in MK might sell them.

i dun have hasport but i have engine mount inserts (which is less hardcore) and u only really notice the vibration when u stop, however u'll hear a lot more rattles and they tend to come and go depends on the rpm.

Aw k I heard usually mk shops are over priced like top racing. Will have to find someone to take me to YL. That seems like the place to go..
The 2nd hand parts for sale in options, are they private sales or via shops??

places in MK are just normal prices.....dun the exchange rate between Jap Yen and HKD.......plus you need to know them to get some good price....

If you travel to YL you really need to know where to go...there are million of places have 2nd hand parts but not everyone have parts for EP3.......and if you are just some random ppl walk in believe me their price ain't cheap too.....unless you know them......

Then check if there is screw near the silver door catch thing, undo them if there are some and I should be able to pull the door trim off.

Pull from the bottom and side, there should be a few clips around and make sure u don't damage them. Then u should be able to lift the trim off the top. Also make sure the door catch is clear. U will then need to unplug the power window plug and the trim should now be free.

Fair enough. i really like the oem mounts its just that they break all the time....

Sorry if i sound like a newb but like when you say insert do u mean diy poly inserts? or like actual proper aftermarket inserts?
