if your car is as stripped is i think it is then the only likely out come is either a breakers yard/ebay or a burning shell in a field, not that there's be much to burn. Or less likely than it being returend withe fullt retrimmed interior, would be someone using it for racing.
but i hope for a...

can you fit them yourself?
a bod might want t obump this to the suspention and brakes section of technical. might get more replys.
if youve scored the disc, then you might need a new one of them too. i think a new pairs is about £60 iirc.
basically its like bluetack you rub over your car and takes off all the crap the shampoo doesnt.
if my reliable source lol is correct you only need to do it once every 4-6 months.
my source being an old dear at work withthis web site
www.janstigra.com lol, its a beast.
generally its a £30 fixed penaly, unless you cause a crash, or are using them inappropriately (flashing them at people i guess) and also a very boreing lecture from the police man. and if they pull them expect them to look over the whole car for defect not just your fogs.
but if your a repeat...

ive notice dealers really do get a bum rap on here, the ones ive dealt with have been great.
on the subject of brakes, how long should the average disc last for, my pads need chaging but they are the original ones from the factory and they have lasted 27k. and still for a bit togo.
most online insurers dont have an option for pass plus but if you mention it yo them on the phone they usualy take it into account and the dicout is rouhgly liek 1 years ncb, inthe first year then after it your real ncb cancells it out if you knwo what i menas, so basiclaly you pay 120 to get...
is that private or a dealers, because dynamiques are still quite expensive. THe dynamiques had better spec than the campus sports, as alot of what i thoguh were 55 dynamiques were dcampus sports and they didnt have the auto lights and wipers. more like an extreme.
what colour is it crazy, i...

my rear drivers side looks a little lower than the passenger side now you mention your back springs, i'll need to have a look. and trys me to notice it once its out of warrnaty, doh!
its a low milage, but on autotrader, the most a 52 plate is going for is 6k i mean there are 160 1*2s upthere at the minute. for the same money some places want for a 52 172 with 70k other places are selling a 53 172 with 40k. but there looks to be a few bargins out there at the moment,

cheaper for the minute until the government start to see the rise in popularity then they'll slap more tax on it, i mean your even supposed to pay something like 25p a litre if you run your tractor on second hand cooking oil, even if you get it for free, westminster still want duty on it lol.
does it have the auto head lights, if so put on the auto lights and demonstraight how the fogs wont work, say its to do withthe headlight units only thgin is the need the headlight washers apprently, so you'd need to plumb them too.
swift cover iirc cover you upto a grands worth of audio equipment.
but to be hinest you need to check with your insurers because IF you crash and its your fault they will look for any possible undeclared modification with a view of voiding your insurance and not paying out.
