No that's extra mate hahaha, 8.5k in total...

£6254 to declare all my mods. So. Cars going back to standard. Fun times.

Sucks complete arse though! I used to drift when I was about 15 so modding that car was my way of quenching that petrolhead thirst. Mmmhmmm.

The only mod I can't be bothered to deal with removing are the tints, and that on it's own was their smallest fee. Something like £20. So I'll probably leave that on, remove everything else, and declare the tints. Christ this is depressing, all this time spent doing things only for it to have...

Right, age old discussion yada yada yada. Phoned insurance to ask about mods. Asked for a quote on tinted windows, sportex exhaust, wheel colour change, 172 bumper and coilovers. Bearing in mind my premium was £2257 in October last year, they wanted an additional... £6254. After much...

Just a quick update on the wheel painting. Got a good couple of coats down and it's looking pretty good, just need to go to Halfrauds and grab some lacquer. But of course being 17, I'm not old enough to do that on my own. Talk about fecking patronizing.. anyway.

Ah I spent a good 20 minutes underneath trying to shift it over, was having none of it haha. Used a jack to support it in place but the second I removed it, it obviously just sagged..

Haha good man! Did you do that or did you get someone to do it?

I saw it years ago on a 106 forum and thought it was brilliant haha, masking tape wouldn't stick to the tyre anyway!

Only gloss black! First time properly spraying something and although it's boring and common, black took my fancy! Genuinely heartbroken about the cutout haha, almost to the extent of being embarrassed to park it anywhere facing outwards...

...

Tax and insurance isn't until October thankfully! Shame I can't service the car myself since it's got full history, would be stupid to throw that away!

I'll probably just take it somewhere and say, look, problem, see? Fix. Only just stopped the exhaust sagging so I'm about fed up with it! Haha. Next thing to sort are the front brakes, then it's MOT time -.-

Thanks dude! :) things don't happen as quickly as I'd like, but that's the joys of being a student! Yeah was a real case of, I want it now, let's go haha. Was only about £20 in fuel tbh, she's quite good! Fitted it this morning, went perfectly except the exhaust cut out is slightly off...

I must be f**king mad, just got home from a 5 hour long round trip for a 1*2 bumper.. But at £10 how could I say no? ;)

£220 offer on £270 or whatever it was? Bargain!

So jealous of the coilovers dude, they're next on my list but a way off yet! Will keep an eye on this :)

2 year service interval did I read up there? Mine's the same shape as JavvaCake's but on a 2006, and it's been serviced every year since new?

I've no bags in my 1.2, think she's a Campus Sport

1*2 rear bumper, front bumper, front two wings, skirts, spoiler if you feel the need. Bob's your uncle.

Really not keen on the plates dude, clean standard fonts with a 3/4 front would set it off nicely imo. Plus those lights just don't look right.. other than that looking good :)

Car: Clio 1.2 16v mk2 (2006) Age: 17 Insurer: Go Girl (I rather not talk about it... haha) Price: £2270

Seems I own a Frankenstein Clio then, ph2 headlights and front bumper, ph3 dials and age

So it's perfectly plausible that it just has a ph2 bumper because that's what the factory found lying around? Rather that than wondering if it's had a slight knock to the front! :boring:

That does worry me...

Out of pure curiosity, which do I have? I have the PH3 digi dials, it's on a 2006 plate, but doesn't have a PH3 front bumper.. Mine: PH3: Has someone just swapped the front bumper, or did they come with my bumper from the factory?

As above, '3 door' doors are considerably longer than those from a '5 door'.

Yes, RS seats will bolt straight into non sports.

Christ I was 13 when this thread was going..
