A compact?! Can't say i can join you on that. Yeh you failed a bit there. I'll assume you'd have talked him down 1p before buying it

It seems now, that consistently Ph1 172's are becoming 3 figure cars. So whats the best car you think you could buy for sub £1000 (Top Gear style). After a quick search on ebay I'd say a PH1 Clio is way up there for amount of fun per £, but - unfortunately - for me it would have to be a mk1...

I don't think £40 is bad for selling a car tbh.

Really. Has that person really tried to sell two cars in one auction. Lazy c***

List sounds good. Please prioritise the coilovers, wheels and spoiler (dynamique or cup). Without these the other mods are a waste of time.

Well if you were going to upgrade, you may as well do it properly. That you did.

Yeh just a couple of basic tips, dont trim bits of the car unnecessarily.Those pictures are terrible for it. For example your first pic makes sense because it's a close up of your rear light, but theres no excuse for trimming that tiny bit off the headlight in pic 4. Consider your shots before...

BMW X series. Always thought they're the most hideous excuse for Saloon turn SUVs on the market.

Here you go mate.

No way. Cat D should have a major effect on the price. I would say anywhere between 25-50% off a good example. £500 is not even close to the discount you should be looking for. I think that car looks pricey.

Badge off, lowered, done.

I think I can answer that. He's downgraded the wheels, downgraded the spoiler, filled the boot with audio junk and attached an ebay nos kit. Oh and he's also completely removed all of it's desirability and character. Hope this helps...

Good work.

Pics of ruined Monaco? What happened?

Yeh not a huge fan of the white, however I'd have imagined it looking worse than that. Maybe stick exclusively to the orange and silver look - It's a "different" look that has been tried and tested. Keep the callipers subtle - i suggest black - even sports have embarrassingly small brakes.

Is that not nautical blue? Originally a non-sport?

Will insurance even cover that?

To burn or fit?

...to buy and fit these. Bute seriously, burn them.

I would always get them done at a body shop - you never get a great finish by yourself. Plus, the amount of paint you need you dont save that much anyway. If you want to save costs, take the parts off the car, mask off what doesnt need painted and take them in to a body shop. Alloys look mint...

I'd be up for this :)

You sir, will get on just fine on this forum :)

Handywork is excellent there. The vinyl looks spot on. I can see why you're undecided and I think I don't like it. The stickers on the rear window, checkered petrol flap and non colour coded plastics say rat/battle scarred/don't really care about my car look. But the vinyl design and the chrome...

Too* He's got an auto trader advert, he directs enquires to this page. I also agree with the interior shot. I said I would take decent photographs, he got impatient and took these. Now the car is in the garage. Sorted that yesterday. Nothing genuine as yet. Still not sold

According to the brake wear indicator yeh! Lol

Cheers CS grammer police. That should be corrected :)

Nah, he's english. They're all illiterate up here ;)

My dad is selling his immaculate 325d, and selling it with true precision: http://www.jackchalkley.com/bmw325d/bmw325d.html Autotrader link to follow when they hurry up and "process" the advert.
