The contis have wear indicators in the middle and I went to 3 different tyre places that all said the same. Im probably wanting to up the size to 205's anyway for more grip, but would that cause problems with rubbing if I lowered the car 40mm?? And would I get raped by the insurance man with...

Was driving home last night and managed to get a nail in my tyre. Its too near the wear indicators to repair according to the tyre place so I'll need new tyres. I was thinking about putting the 182 michellins on in the 205 size. Would that invalidate the insurance as the original fitment on the...

The cup colour is the best but it might be second ;)

You'd be better off getting out to push with these 1.2's ;) j/k

The rear disks are poor quality imo. Ive already had one set rust all the way through and snap. And the rust patch round the edge is normal. Its just because the pads dont cover the whole area of the disk.

It does have a set of brembos doesnt it? ;)

Its got bigger arch gaps than my std 172 cup and thats saying something! Interior is nice though

You put so much tyre black on it the road doesnt get to wear the rubber ;)

Or get it towed by a 172/182 ;)

The body crumples more on the new one in the right places so that the occupants survive.

Fred will do you a good price im sure, and he might throw in a bit of pleasuring free of charge from what Ive heard ;)

Id consider switching to pe2's in the 205 width for a change and more grip.

Ive had two wheels replaced under warranty so I must have really sweaty hands or nails like talons! ;)

Well I think you are onto a ban if the police pursue the dangerous driving route. IIRC its 6 points and if you get that number of points within 3 years of your test you lose your licence and have to resit it. An expensive lesson on the undeclared mods too I think. But you will be wiser next...

Yeah but you will look like a "power ranger", "who needs to get some proper clothes" as clarkson puts it ;)

two pork pies and a bottle of coke ;)

Must have been doing 60+ for that sort of damage

Heater matrix needing replacement? Sometimes give up the ghost after a while

It was me! My g/f lives on the south side so I stopped for a mcflurry! Got spotted again! Anyway my car is almost back to full health now, appart from a dented bonnet courtesy of renault. Cheers Fraser

Get cctv camera and point it at your car. Job done.

Std? Has it not been lowered in that pic?? ;)

Still waiting....

Nice car stevie just make sure when its serviced the dealer tightens the sump plug!

If you dont mind me asking how much roughly did that cost?

Its back from the garage but hasnt been cleaned as I asked and they have dented the bonnet where they closed it. After a bit of arguing the service manager is going to take the dents out and hopefully get the oil off the underneath of the car. Im also wanting in writing that the engine hasnt...

I dont think the 172 cup has these "black bits" on the bumper. Mine doesnt anyway and Ive had it since new.

Maybe they just did mine up finger tight, and forgot to tighten it fully. just hope the engine hasnt been damaged but it shouldnt be with the amount of oil pouring out of it when it was switched off!
