Hold your ground for the Monet you want, a painter or body shop guy will buy it, put in a few days effort and knock the paint up for next to nothing..
A guy I know has a different car each month and does pretty much that.. Always has his ear to the ground for cars he can repair on the side for...
I had ordered a OE wing for my Vauxhall years ago but the painter said he'd get me a pattern that would be just as good..
Regretted it.. Fit like aids and wasn't anywhere near as good as Vauxhalls..
Go to Renault or make sure it's not pony...
I have turtle beach xp500's for gaming so use them for films as they're 7.1
The powerbeats2 lasted over 4 hours and they're tiny, decent sound although you don't want the line of sight blocked..
We'll see more and more electric taking over in the years to come, I imagine the older cars prices will go into orbit rather than just through the roof...
Get a proper refurb on the wheels, these man in a van or cheap jobs are epic failing most of the time... I rate many of the jobs I've seen up there with a toddlers fingerpainting picture..
A mate had his corrosion happy vw bbs splits done at pristine and they looked like new 4 years later...
I flat out wouldnt pay 5p for a written off car, in this case it's just paint but when I see cat c or d I just move on.. No one wants to buy them so a struggle to sell...
I think your buyer markets wider before paint... A painter would buy it, a track day lover, someone after a project..
Up...
Either hunt down a set with good tyres or call Mike as he has a million of them... Make sure you pick through them as many are bent or kerbed being over 20 years old..
Tyres are the next problem, you don't get an amazing choice, r888 were what I ran on mine.. I think nexens, falkens and a few...
No, Mr spencer dropped of the face of the planet due to many a bad situation... One being a local couple to me pumping about 25k into a 5gtt show car that he was over seeing.. There was many stories along the way, double charging, selling off the removed tuning parts after he replaced them with...
Looks good, I was tempted myself at that one...
Be fking careful with the front grill and a few other choice parts, Mike gt turbo spares and cgb hold the monopoly on these cars now and if you fudge it, you paying the price they dream up...
Grills are £300, arches are like rocking horse, that...
Tweeks have them, can't see the tech specs but a call to them should find out, then you'll have the part number to hunt for a cheaper price is have thought...
I just goggled 182 koni and europerformance something or other has good old koni yellows...
On some cars people rave about them being awesome, but I guess it's compared against OE.. The question would be, who has koni yellow, are they better and do they pair well with the cooksports..
Not...
£250 for standard struts but might as spunk £500??
I'm known to waste money, I have 2 sets of new koni's, 2 bad a55 turbos and a stack of other performance parts for a car that's sat 5 years...
Yet I don't see the sense in buying coilovers.. You want them, don't need them and I'm not gonna...
I'm pretty sure I paid £60 for each standard front strut for the 182 direct from Renault... New bearings etc didn't break the bank either..
£100 for 2 or fronts or £480 or £1000 for full kits, hmmmmmm decisions eh..
Just checked the Renault parts website £50 for each front shock, same for the...
Cars car be rejected at delivery if there's a good reason, is it hard to believe that yours was... Someone I know worked at a body shop and would have brand new cars come in with a scuff to sort out..
Or it just has a few miles... It's about 1-2 hours of driving, so whose been driving it for...
Turbo clios hold good money so it's not totally pi55ing your money away, and if it's done buy then people will have peace of mind at a good job if you sold..
If you wanna do it, go for it...
It's not all doom and gloom really, they're press fitted into the wishbone and it's not unheard of that they move... Some guys put a tack weld on the bush after fitting to keep it from moving... Not with the rubber in tho as that will melt it..
I actually think your tracking will be fine...
