Thanks Josh. Much appreciated. You wont be dissappointed with the magnex and for the money get the complete system (cat-back). Its worth it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :(

Youll need to really do your homework on this Daz. There will be guides on the internet about spraying plastic but basically it goes something like... Firstly all the plastic will need prepping. So youll need to throughly clean with an alcohol based cleaner. You dont want any grease, or...

BenRs old car! Mint!

Id always reject the first figure, go and do some inveistigation on Auto Trader and try and get about 8k mate.

Agreed.

Midge, when my Cup blew a spark plug last week it cost me £60 to have it inspected and they had it for 2 days. So £90 seems somewhat excessive.

Ahhh it all fits into place... :) In two years time though the new RS clio will be turbo charged and probably over 200bhp!

Whos the enemy? Did I miss something? Interesting article...

Maybe you should have thought about this topic a bit more mate but Ill get your started: What brand of tyres? How old are the tyres? How many miles have they done? How much tread on them? What is the overall condition? Would you buy used tyres? Have you ever asked a garage to fit used tyres...

"Front Tyres Low" .. TUT TUT!

My last car was German, a Golf of all things and relatively new. Dealers were worse than Renault, car was worse than my Renault... I think people should stop harping on about how marvelous German cars are, when at the end of the day, they all have as many faults, problems, sarcastic and rude...

GReddy dont make any clio bits from memory!

dailyd, I have 4 years NCB and when I spoke to them today, they said I lose 15-20% of my NCB, so I guess thats the equivalent of a year/18mths of driving. Not too bad, I keep the majority of my 4 years under my belt. Thankfully Im another year older next year, and as such have yet to reach the...

Yeah all starts to get a bit pricey, so for the sake of £350 and a dented pride - I thought Id take it on the chin and get the insurance company to sort it out.

Ermmm Toypop sadly not. Front bumper is like £250-300 + paint + fitting Front wing is like £50-75 + paint + fitting Front Inner splash guard £25-30 Anything else?! So thats like £400 + in parts at least - probably nearer £1,000 with paint, and thats like without taking into account anything...

Dont worry Civic_Legend. Im having a sh*t day and feeling a bit ratty! Apologies for earlier post. Im sure ABS, EBD, AYC, TC, EBS, AOFA (Any Other f**king Acronym!) would have probably helped... nevermind! One of them theings indeed and now in the comfortable hands of my insurance company who...

Oh and I got a parking ticket when I got back to work as well. LOL. Not really my 2004!

Good point Optical. I feel much better now. At the very last moment before hitting her, wheel locked, i lifted and decided to try and avoid her. Had I hit her clean on thats what would have happened to my car. Thankfully those final few mph were absorbed by the plastics. It will return...

Headlight is totaly detatched from the car - now held in place by good old gaffer tape. Yeah she needs to claim as her 54 plate Polo was brand new. So Im gonna claim to. Nevermind! Saves me getting the bumper resprayed.

What makes you think ABS would have saved me?!

-4 this morning... think its a new record.

Yup im at fault. Annoying circumstances - but at the end of the day my car hit hers, so its my fault. Nevermind its only plastic. Will be back on the road again soon.... (dejavu?!)

Thanks everyone. :cry:

Its drivable so yes wherever and whatever is happening tomorrow - i#ll be there!

Basically im driving down the road to work, come to a small village, very tight right hand bend with a row of shops. Some tw*t parked on the side of the road with a 4x4 on double yellows. As I come down towards this corner, following a silver VW Polo, its a bit greasy, a bit slippy-slidey and...
