I didn't think that you would be covered driving away if it failed...as technically its not fit to be on the road (passing minimum standard)
EDIT
I am wrong
If your current MOT has expiredThe law is quite clear: you MUST have an MOT. Without it your insurance is void and you’re breaking the...
Screwed mate. You are only covered by insurance on the way to an MOT Station...(the idea is that you will get your MOT and therefore be fine to go home!)
This is from my current one

I also had one done on the 172Cup by them a fair few years ago. :)
Give them a call...usually better replies on the phone.
Do you currently have aftermarket on there?
I would go to Prospeed, as they can make the exhaust to your requirements. So if you want something which is relatively quiet when pootling, bit has grunt when booting it. They can do that. Also, they can do you a stealth, or cut into the bumper.
You can have soft drinks. I will be on shandys or diet coke. Its justva social gathering mate...we wont all be getting drunk as we all have to drive home (or give Fred a lift!)

I am gonna arrange something for Xmas on Broad Street I think, bit will let people know so we can book places to...
Fred, The only problem I have with that location is that you have suggested it, and if the usual happens...it means that the person who suggests it doesn't turn up!
Its not a dig mate...just how people roll..
(Put a meet on at....meet arranged, person either can't make it or just doesn't turn...

I have done front pads before...never done rears. I see that there 2 17mm bolts...do I need to undo these to get to the pads? Can't find any guides to help...but want to do them myself.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance :)
I was advising about phones as it was my only bugbear with them. You will get through, you just need to try at it a fair few times. Its right by the Bull Ring in Birmingham so you cant really go wrong. I would bell them just to make sure you get what you want.
They charge £20 per wheel for shotblast, refurb and powdercoat. So long as you choose one of their standard colours its £20...if you want something custom it will be more expensive. Just bear in mind though that they are s**t at answering phone...I think white and anthracite will be standard...
They have to bake powdercoat on...if they put plastic through that heat...it would melt. Also, I dont think that you can electro charge plastic which is what gets powdercoat to stick.
Cracking Matt...will arrange collection this week
:)
They cant do centres...you will need to get colour matched...that is why I got Turinis done as centres as so small. :)
They've had differing reviews. Some good, some bad. When you consider how fucked the originals were...then how they are now, they're 1000% better.
Obviously if you pay several times the price...you will expect the world. But they seem to stack them high and do a shed load to keep prices down. I...
They are spot on for the price £80 to refurb the 4 wheels. The finish is cracking...I was dubious...but when I picked them up....well impressed...just had to sand and spray centre caps to get the right look (as wet paint and powder coating paints are different)...so bit of time and effort and...
Telford mate. Think it was the place you went to with Paul after Cosford. Went to the garden centre next door and saw the colour so went for a venture. They are genuine Speedline 16" Turinis. :)
They were from a 1.2 which had been done as a 172Cup replica and I think had undeclared mods and an engine fire so was chopped into a scrap dealer (who knew nothing regarding Turinis!!!). To be fair...it was a pretty good replica as everything had been done including colour, spoiler and...
These are 4 turinis off a car not much kop in terms of their initial condition.
The worst one
Got the 4 refurbed at City Powdercoaters in Brum. Dropped off on the Friday, picked up following Wednesday.
This is one of them
On the car...
Made right choice on colour (in my opinion)...
He set it up for small gathering, then due to the nature behind why it is happening...its become massive. Hence time change and location change. Chances are it might move again due to numbers.
Get your rear dampers checked for leaks/fluid...dodgy shocks can lead to vagueness over the rear end which will make car step out when going round bends!
Telford makes NO sense when you first get there. Just if you use the Eastern Primary A442 towards Madeley from Town Centre...watch out as by Shell in Stirchley they usually have a camera van sitting over the dual carriageway clocking speeders. (b******s!!!) ;)
I learned all of North...
