lowering springs, body coloured bumpers, side strips and a japo exhaust. All done before I got it (along with the green calipers and green ovals, which are on the cards to be changed)

I'd smack my mate about the head if he did that to my car. I have some "friends" who let their kids trash the inside of their relatively new car, and think it's hilarious. I just think it shows a general lack of respect for anything; including other people...

Cool. I wish I'd taken pics of mine/Navarro's before I repaired it...

Be nice to see some "before and after" pics - I can't believe how badly some people treat their cars...

It's a 1.4 Sport, not a 1*2; and it's still being subsidised by me!!

What is sad, is that you appear to be proud of this...

surely that's not right? I bet the've just added the mods and not upgraded to fully comp...

yeah, but when were you 19? 1983??

Bodyshop couldn't do it either. The top hinge was eassy they said because you have the whole height of the door to swing the hammer; but the bottom hinge is knocked out upwards and because of the sill, tthere is no clearance underneath to swing a hammer at it. My bodyshop guy reckons you need a...

i don't understand...

Good idea to post this on a public forum (which the garage may well check if you take him to court)

So does folding the back seats down really make the car go faster?

Go for it! If you f**k it up, you've only wasted the cost of the paint, and any half decent bodyshop won't charge extra to put right your mistakes. Just remember to remove all traces of plastic dressing on your bumper bits, and use proper plastic primer!

**Subscribes** I hate people that try to duck out of their responsibilities...

Joking about both bits mate. It wasn't mine (although I fancy a Ph1 sport) and clearly as it was never mine, no one ever rear ended me in it lol

Nice first car dude... what's your insurance like on it?

only joking mate. Looks really nice - cool colour too!!

It's titanium. That was my old car, until some a**hole rear ended me in a landrover...:eek:

think it's about 65mm ID, with a 90 degree bend needed in the silicon elbow

ah, thanks. Wasn't sure about the air seal at the base...

Why is my dashboard sticky? (No rude comments please) It's a blue dash on a 2000 X plate 1.4 sport; and I've tried wiping it with all sorts of cleaners etc, but it just remains sticky (and the cloths come out blue with alcohol wipes too:rasp:)

Ok, so I bought my son a 1.4 Sport (X reg) to learn to drive in - only thing is, when I took the air filter box off the throttle body came off with it! It would appear that there is nothing bar a poxy rubber seal holding the throttle body in place - without the airbox in place to hold it down...

:cool: So cool :cool:

it seriously sounds like you have flattened your battery dude

orange :)

So how did you get on? I've got to replace a front door and like you I can't get the pins to budge - can't get a hammer anywhere near them though:S

Hi Joe!:rasp:

£2800 for a years insurance?? OMFG!!!How much was the 1.2?

Q - Who overtakes on the approach to a junction?A - only an idiot.It MUST have been the other drivers fault if it happened as you said it did, so why are the insurance companies dragging it out so much?

wait a bit, then get the one you want. Otherwise you'll regret it and end up wanting to change again really soon...
