They want £200 to respray my rear bumper.... :O

Seriously shop around still, Im with Greenlight and never had a problem with them 5 ncb 8 year driving, ms50, 12 month ban, dangerous and driving without due care etc etc, red light, sp40 and some thing else on my license with all mods including ITB's declared and I pay £450 per year. MS50...

he might be an over obsessed Dr.Who fan tho with some telephone box type time travel machine, which would still leave this thread as a fail unless he takes said person with him in to the past to remind themselfs to take it to FCS for him. Yes, I am bored at work......

FCS as in French Car Show from last month?

Its just normal car insurance so she keeps the NCB rolling and topped up, was offered 'classic' car or well 'show car' insurance but was told it was more restrictive and NCB might be affected.

Dont know about anyone else but I take it some one owned the car before you? It looks like the roof has been resprayed at some point, badly prepped work from too harsh sanding like using 800 grit W&D instead of the 3000g that should have been used. No point in detailing it as with bad prep...

Could be a new type monster truck!! Hairdryer to get the initial part of the stickers off then some tar and glue remover for the rest of the gunk!!

Just because your a boring old man type person that likes a car to be quiet or have a nice 'purrr' does not make everyone else a chav because they like pops and bangs. I am by far not a chav yet I have mine mapped to spit flames some times. Does not have to be wee tard ignition or very lean, a...

As people have suggested, get a banger of a car or say its a classic that will only be driven to and from 4/5 car shows a year but garage it or bomb it on the back yard if possible. My sister does this for her mk1 xr2 that is completly box standard, her insurance costs some thing silly like...

If your on a limited budget most people on here say to get a decent aftermarket headunit (this does not mean buy the more expensive one) and connect to your std speakers with a possible active underseat sub. ^^ that is by far the cheapest. If you want slightly better, I can highly recommend...

Just to give a little update, been intouch with the Police officer dealing with this incident. The bike rider is ok apart from a broken femur bone that has had to be pinned - Wish I didnt bother phoning but least he aint disabled or even worse.

The police officers asked me what happened but didnt write owt down, one thing that asked a few times was did I roll forward over the line or was i still trying to brake at the time, I said that I was just bringing my foot off the pedal as he hit me.

Need some work done to the car with regards to a rear bumper and door. Anyone come recommended in the Nottingham area for BG paint work?

Spaz double post.

Front wheel is slightly buckled on the bike, i punched the dent out on the bumper of my car but the brackets are broke on the P/S near the wheel. Will deffo need a respray. I would guess at around 25-35mph that it happened. Can not see any further damage at the mo to the car but then again I...

Nope, not a chav. Hes a 44 year old man... I wish him a speedy recovery but still cant help but think it was my fault even tho mates and other people say it wasnt.

Biker was in screaming agony, when the ambulance arrived they gave him some sort of gas in a blue bottle that calmed it down but still hear the screams now. Im phyically fine but just shaking and feel sick.

My car was hit from the rear by a motorcyclist this morning in Nottingham just before 7am at about 40mph. I was approaching the lights anticipate them to turn red as they always do, then the lights started to change so I braked but as I looked in the rear view mirror I could see the bike coming...

Looking at possibly getting all round better suspension but dont want collies. Will a rear whiteline ARB make much difference to handling, are people generally able to take corners faster? Koni yellows on eibach sports, is this a good combination? Is there anything else I should think about...

Is this the one with dark grey stickers on, it keeps trying to bully me, he stalled it at the lights once too... FLOL

Not complete silhouette but still my entry.

Might see if they are interested in a GB sorta thing...

Sounds strange and a mega boost in old threads. But ive just seen this car in Arnold near sainsburys fuel station again.

I was put on the MS50 as I was racing on a public highway, 60 zone caught doing 125. There was alot of people that night racing, i just wanted to over take a saab thing. all comes down to me being a dick at the time.

Thats a bloody good photo tho mate. Best one I can do is this.

Ive renewed my insurance with Greenlight, even though alot of people on here dont like them I have never (touch wood) had any problems with them. 30yro ban and 3 points on license all mods declared right down to breaks, lights and tints plus living in a not so nice area and my insurance was...

Well, I got your attention. Right can some one clarify when or if a ban ever comes off your license? I was caught speeding on a public highway (ms50) in mid 2006 and taken to court on november 2007 which resulted in losing my license for one year with no retake of test and no additional...

OK, so what have you used that is better for the price range of £50-£60? I have popped 4 Renault OEM ones now and they are £60 each, these Koni's can not be as bad as the OEM ones, surely!

Phone ktec and ask them for some of the non adjustable Koni dampeners, they will cost a s**t load less than £200 for both. I think mine was £60 each and just looking at them, they are a ton better than the oem ones.

IF my car was standard from factory type and £1500 was a first choice buy. It would have to be full AST Suspension with a ARB some where.
