Looking for recommendations for an accident repair company to replace a rear quarter on a 197.
Rear axle appears to be fine but of course you can’t really say for sure until the car is taken apart.
Ideally in the West Midlands but happy to travel for a quality job.
Apologies for the bump, didn't want to start a new thread for a question that probably won't get any replies!
Are the MK2 V6 cats worth anything like the 1*2 ones?
Sprint spoiler is the way to go! I'd definitely go for anthracite wheels.
If you're ever down Stafford way you can put my spare wheel on the car to gauge if you like it.
Depends on if you're doing it yourself or after a drive-in drive-out conversion. The latter starts from £3500 iirc.
You're definitely right, most if not all the Meglios i've seen for sale are stupidly overpriced. They're not exactly rare nor the conversions that expensive. I guess their owners...
It's hard to be sure as I've had different postcodes for the last 3 years, but i'd say so.
One of the best things is getting third party cover/drive other cars cover, I didn't even ask for it with my new insurer and they offered it as part of the cover!
Pure speculation, but it’s probably because owners of modified cars are more likely to drive in a certain manner (as they’ve spent good money on the car) compared to the average person who sees the car as white goods.
I found this to be the case with certain specialists as they only really...
You were quick to jump on that one! Guess my original post wasn’t interesting enough :unsure: The US riot post was clear enough in showing the type of people on here.
Appeal to ridicule is rife on here, but that’s the same with all echo chambers I suppose.
In all fairness I expect nothing less from this forum considering it’s main demographic, I guess it’s ok generalising people, but not getting so specific that you get called out 🤷♂️
Edit: inb4 “u ok hun xox”
I love these, they look spot on and I was close to buying one before I got a 197 instead. Test drove one too and it was decent. Hopefully own one in the future when they're sub 3k
If you've got the budget for a MK3 Meg you wouldn't be looking at a 197. I can't believe how dated the interior of the 182 I drove was, but that's down to individual taste, much like the looks of both cars.
182 vs 197 - they're both old, cheap french shitboxes. Do your research (as I'm guessing...
It will happen and it’ll happen quicker than the 1*2s IMO as so many 197 shitters are being broken. Plus the fact that parts aren’t as cheap from broken cars means they’ll hold a higher low end market value.
Agreed, not worth £2800 at all. There was a red 200 which has 3rd gear crunch for 2800 on the Facebook group IIRC. I think it’s about £800 for a refurbed gearbox with a new clutch (drive in - drive out), alternatively £300 for a good gearbox, or £50 for one that needs fixing.
A lot of those have sold for less than what they’re worth and I reckon that’s more to do with the fact that people haven’t got jobs so the market demand has shrunk.
That was only temporary as you have seen with prices rising again. I may have one for sale but I’m waiting on someone else. In the...
