It's really hard to find mint mk1:( especially as most have had a load of owners (one 02 reg I called up had had 9 owners !) Plus most only keep them a short while - I'm keeping mine till I get a house, that's the only thing that'll make me sell it (or maybe a rare coloured mk2 v6) Mine's one...

John - I say do it, they are great :) - mission to find a minter though :dapprove: (took me two months !) dick - if you don't have anything sensible to post up, please get out of my thread.

Brian, yeah it's the car in my avatar. I think i'll go with the ones you mentioned :) they are really cheap on that site too. Christian - FM is a bloke.

I'd have bought a momo one, or a suede sparco one if i'd have bought a car with a naffed one, as mines in great nick it's staying put.

Lol ;) i've just never been one for messing about with indiactors etc. Normally never let them bother me, but this cars a bit speacial to me:)

That looks great, nice one ! Happy Birthday by the way:)

^ get out of here (I do hope your taking the pee) Middo - £ 9.99 from Halfrauds mate, you need a 6mm thread (it says renault fit on the pack though) it's about half the length of the one that was on it !

I'd check what the actual tyres are too, as he mentions Fulda in the ad, but Kumho is the make of the tyre - both really poor (budget) makes ! I'd see how much tread is left on them as well.

Your best of finding a mint one from a mk1 v6, although I saw a few low mile vee's with really bad steering wheels, one had only done 14k & the wheel was knackered ! Mines about 9/10 but you can't have it :rasp: ;)

I'd want to see very good big close up pics of the other three wheels (make sure he gives you pics of the lot & not just the same wheel repeated four times - like some dodgy sellers do on ebay !) Tbh I think that they tyre profiles wrong for you, what Middo says is right. The other thing is...

I've left the bulb in for now as it looks odd without it in there, but come mot time i'll remove it, because if it's there it has to work. I might decide to wire up though so it works, if I can be asked to do it lol.

you got the link ?

I don't get it tbh, all of the wiring is there, the bulbs there too, I guess there is no current to it ? Well actually I checked & there wasn't, seems silly to me.

Do you have two rear fog lights ?? I did mine earlier on (mk2 ph 1) the left side had three bulbs on the holder, but the new one (for the phase 2 lights) had four, it's all wired up correctly but it doesn't work:S I looked in the manual as I thought that a fuse might have blown & it just...

Brian - I didn't mean it was sad that I wanted to change them. I meant that it was sad that I don't know much about them & what the difference is between crystal ones & clear ones :o I'm thinking crystal ones, the ones on it are orange, but a bit darker than usual. I think the white ones...

Fitted the rear lights on (which look 1000% better than the rubbish boring originals) Yes I know it's needs Silver visions, they are on the to do list ! Changed the aeriel for a shorter one, to replace the fishing rod style one:) Also fitted an Evo Mag sticker - that ought to give me...

^ I just had visions of you running outside with a torch to check for them ;)

Did all 182's come with them ?? I know my dads mk2 172's got them on it. Just loked in the for sale section & some in there don't :S

Ahh yeah, it should have two black stickers on the front bumber, they should be at the ends of that vent in the bumper iirc (the vents above the reg plate)

4 owners on an 05 reg !!! sod that !

Miketheman, does it get more attention than the v6 you had ?

^ lol @ the dots on it, check out the Lambo alloys on it too !

I didn't think that the R8 was out till at least September ? if not the end of the year.

I've to idea tbh, it just takes half an hour, not bad for me as I don't do short journeys in it - well they start out short journeys, then I get addicted to it ! So it's an epic:cool:

Well said Rufstuf !

It's a good job I didn't turn up to the meet on Thurday in may dads 172 then ;) Flame Red rocks :) mk1 172 in it are very rare.

Lol - do what you like it's your car, just don't come on here moaning like everyone else when you get pulled for it ;)

did you sign something saying that you will give up the reg when you bought the car from him ??

^ i'll await your post on here as well, when you do eventually get pulled for it;) Plus i'd love to see it pass an mot with that plate on it, it will fail. One other thing acting dumb about the spacing etc is no excuse.

You boys are lucky you don't have a vee - they take 30 mins to warm up fully.
