the alloy does have quite a bit of damage to it, cant see it in the pic as its still leaning on the kurb, though the wheel is still holding air. may be fixable. i have all the bits to get this rolling but i need to wait for the insurance to come and being that its his insurance i cans ee them...
anyone had similar damage? the slam panel e.t.c are perfectly straight, i think the coilover has taken the brunt of it. i have most of the bits to fix it, could have it rolling in an hour or so, but need to wait for the insurance to view. going to have to get it checked to see if its straight :|...

ahhh this is the one from williams clio that went in a long time ago isnt it, was going to get the at setup?
how much do you charge for the itb manifold
if it made 45 more than standard then it would be 195bhp.
standard williams engine is 150bhp + 45bhp = 195bhp. hope people understand now!
good result.
Whos car isit? anyone we know? how much that lot cost?
the new 8gb one is £109 from argos.. with the old 8gb one costing £129 iirc.
i took my 3rd gen back as it brok and got the new one instead.. its very nice..
i got mine last week and as i understand it it doesnt have radio BUT why does it have a radio menu option? doesnt show up normally but if you do this -
settings - general - main menu and scroll down your see it 'radio'
