Kosei were £410 on e-bay nearly new, got £250 for standard wheels Sold on for £300 with worn tyres and Catalunya were £599 new with quality tyres!

I think front track is slightly wider on 172/182 cos non RS models look weird (wheels to far in) with 172/182 wheels and wider sport wheel arches after market 16 or 17's are cheaper! ^ ^ I've had 2 different styles of 17 - Kosei Racing and TSW Catalunya...

Hello Hello Hello! grille and wheels updated slightly in 2004 - mine's old stylee but wheels replaced Bacon - get it re-mapped and fit a K&N - massive difference! Mini Coopers - Bye Bye ;-)

buy wisely and you'll lose nothing! i.e haggle VERY hard and buy up north, spend a day valeting and spend a long time taking absolutely brill pics. and doing detailed ad. when selling! I flew to Aberdeen for £40 and drove home a car, saving approx a grand on prices near Northampton!

P.S: Howdie Pardner! :-)

P.S: Howdie Pardner! :-)

ps: welcome :-)

see PM a re-mapped 80 is MUCH MUCH quicker than a standard 100

MINT 172 easier to shift that a s**t*y 206 but best value 'warm' motor for that money is DEFO a Xsara VTS...

the Blue one actually looks like it's on the end of a stick held by the man on the left! hahahahahah :-)

just re-read. If you're doing a whole set will take ages! Go to a fitter - a tenner is better than fuc*ed jack, nuckles and even bodywork if you stamp on brace and it flies off! ^ ^ I damaged an alloy getting mad with one!

they're 'kin useless - made of butter - too much force and hexagon shape disappears! 2 choices: 1) go to friendly tyre fitter - most will change a wheel in 2 mins if ask nicely and not charge - say your jacks broke and yer girlfriend needs the car! 2) place brace so it's in a good...

look will be same - just less wheel, more tyre showing overall 'size' is virtually identical - approx 2% difference in rolling diameter between 15s with 185/55 and 17s with low 205/40s

17's!

closer pic!

60mm is a long way on a diesel - mine dropped more like 50mm on 40's due to extra weight. I've scuffed splitter @ 40!

guages are rubbish, fuel trips are not always brilliant - unless tank is leaking, ony way to be sure is brim-full to orange light 2 or 3 times and then work out mpg mpg calc is a doddle as long as you know 4.545 litres is one gallon

FatFighters Lose three stone yourself, rear seats, spare wheel, jack, headrest bar one and drive round on orange light Approx 100kg lost or equivalent of 15bhp gained, for FREE!

I think she looks better (than normal spotty bleached trailer trash look)

blimey al, you're looking a bit buff - can I buy you a drink?

defo fixable!

try closer to 2K repair - at least your not paying!

I want a Meggy R26, but 60 mile commute, insurance premium (points and claims) would mean a BIG overdraft and a BJ for my bank manager! :-(

technically 19K, but you ain't gonna do 9.5K in next 12 months, so it WILL be whatever it shows in March 08 (cos that will come first). Prob. about 13K! If it's a weekend car that does decent journeys (10 miles+) then OK with 2 years, but if does lots of very short journeys or town work, most...

P.S: "OR" is the key 23rd March '08 OR 12K whichever comes first!

With very very 'low' mileage I'd be tempted to do an oil change annually and then service every 2

maybe I'll try a stripped out R27, but I was well disappointed with the sheer lack of ooomph (albeit a tight demo car) It was a beautifully finished quality and refined car (bar noisy in 6th gear @ 80mph) with fab brakes BUT got back in the D and at legal speeds it felt more responsive...

why so harsh? I love it - looks like a quality job with subtle styling!

I was working in Ockenden last week (Whizz-Kidz training course) and I think I'm in the Basildon Echo!

BUY nearly new with 5 - 20K on clock (50%-60% of new price) SELL 4-5 years with 60-80K (third of new price) that way you get the best out of a car with minimal depreciation, only one or two cheap mots, one set of tyres and pads, but no shocks, clutch, discs (if lucky), exhausts etc...
