Cheers, Head looks the business BTW

Hi, hopefully getting my Trophy in the next couple of weeks, but will need to replace the OEM headunit fairly sharpish, lots of MP3 discs will be getting dusty otherwise. I'll also need something to cover the rattles ;) According to the blurb, Alpine headunits are compatible with most...

Cheers, the fact Arnold Clark start the ball rolling at £13K does no harm, nor does the Focus ST launch!

I'm quoting on my old C2 GT and Trophy at the mo, and for my postcode direct line is quite a chunk cheaper than the rest. (similar age/NCD, no point, touch wood). Just under £500 for the Trophy NCD protected, bout half for the C2!

Back from my jollies, today's the day to go to the garage and finalise the price and trade in for the Trophy. Annoyingly, I've now got a small scratch on the bonnet of the C2, which I have no doubt theyll exploit to try and lower the trade in allowance. Wish me luck!

Still not convinced by the Mk3. I like the idea of better trim, and like the diffuser, but it looks like a 206 still, and that can't be a good thing

Thats the one! Thanks a lot. Still a fair few Trophys left, but no cups. Looks like the cup plus Recaro and save a few quid plan is out. Guess Ill just have to have a lighter car with better suspension and a boot you cant get your shopping in! On balance, I think I can live with this ;)

Yup, one Northern dealership even has it on their website. While I was pricing round, one chancer said "list is fifteen five, but demand is so high we have to ask sixteen" Rather than put the phone down, I just laughed in an over the top fashion until he did it for me. Im aiming for 13 and a...

Yeah, considered that, just a bit awkward in that itll run into a new month, and a new quarter if they work Jan - Feb. Knowing how many are left when walking in to do the final haggling could be worth a couple of quid on its own... Mmmm, want Trophy

... 182s, cups and Trophys are left to be sold now? I had a search but couldnt find the thread that seemed to link into an official looking source from a few weeks ago. I need to know just how far I can push the dealers, Im going to be on my jollies from 21st to 8th, and dont want too come...

Fraid the overdrive fuel site is producing junk for me too. :( [Edited by portland on 7/16/2005 8:18:50 PM]

DVLA are not the value. I called them so many times to tell them they had the date of first registration on my V5 out by one month. Finally I got bored and said basically "although its got a personal plate, it was first registered as an 04. Are you maintaining you gave a car a provisional 04...

Theres no Shell on the routes I drive locally, but Johnny Sainsburys 97 RON vs 95 RON is 82.9 vs 80.9. I use the 97 (shock, horror, disbelief) If I had a Tesco that did 99, Id be using that, but sadly, my local store just does 95 (at about 74.9 after the 5p a litre off) Still using Johnnies...

Thanks all, was hoping to avoid aftermarket due to insurance declaration hassle (and cost) but can prolly get something even lighter that way

Any clue when the official word will be on the last even more super lightweight 182 will be. Looking at the old thread, this would have the one "tweak" Id fancy, ie Xenons for driving at night, but no washers (pah, more weight) To be honest, Im not terribly fussed about air con, but it looks...

Oh, another thing I forgot to ask, is it hard work taking the back seat/bench out and/or refitting? I intend for it to live in the shed until I sell/write off the orange mobile (going for Inferno, despite the extra kilo metallic will weigh ;) ) Cheers

Hi all, Im toying with a 182 cup with the tasty seats, as I find the standard fit ones a bit uncomfortable. The dealers have advised I dont have a prayer of getting a test drive in one, as they are only ever factory options. Ive actually still not had a blast in an actual cup (as opposed to a...
