Isnt this good business?
Ive just bought a 98S plate Mondeo GLX for £40, yes £40! It wanted a set of keys, which was no problem for me as i work for Ford, got them sorted and its on ebay now, hoping for £500 at least!
Yay someone mentioned the climate fan buzzing! I think it probably fooled everyone at first into thinking it was coming from under the dash, or the passenger seat lol
Its above your head, in the interior light unit put your ear right upto the bit the looks like a microphone, lots of little...
Done the search etc, not specific enough!
4 newly refurbed and totally unmarked 172 16" Alloys, with matching centre caps in gloss black
Tyres are 2 Hankooks that have done 500 miles, so 7mm of tread, and 2 Michelin PE2s, ones worn on the outer edge, but tread across 3/4 is 3mm and one is on...
If i walked into a Renault dealer and sat down with them, went through the options etc then came to a final price, odds on it'd be the book price.
How do people get these deals? Threaten to walk away, hold a gun to them, or offer them a flash of ur birds gash? Im stumpted!
Varies, without tyres i bought 4 anthracite ones for a total of £220, bought each one separately
Silver ones tend to go for abit less as they're less desirable, so without tyres, and in very good condition id say £200?
Everyone wanks over Michelin Premacy Exalto 2's, but i didnt see the point in paying £50 a tyre, when i can get some Hankook lovelies for £25!
Who needs grip lol
Same as i had on my VTR, they're a b*****d to keep clean! Black touch up pen disguises any scrapes tho ;)
Oh yea, a free mod - get rid of the 2 1/2 mudflaps lol
Regarding insurance, most policies dont cover you to drive any car, nearly all under 25, and now they're stopping it all together unless its a real emergency
Only need one can then, i did my 172 centre caps in gloss black and used about half a can. Dont forget plastic primer too, otherwise it might not stick
Id honestly rather crash then kill anything! I was gutted when i phesant walked infront of me, was shaking for a while after hearing its scream! Smashed my grill off too, but hey ho!
Well mine was pretty bad, not deep just alot on the edge, and you'd never know it was there now. They dont fill it though so its never gonna be perfect! The finish is second to none, everyones been impressed so far! Only niggle i had is i had to do the centre caps myself because they were...
Im gonna post a thread somewhere, maybe in the specialists bit with the name and address of the company. For the sake of £64, in a few months i might get them in a different colour!
In my opinion the pics dont do them justice, and the cars obviously dirty!
Im so pleased with them, got them done by a small company, when i took them the guy gave me a lil tour showing me exactly what happened to them and where! Even sorted out the curbing the best they could without filling...
Its an import mate, try use that card
Near identical plate to my black one, FP51 imported and sold via Motorpoint in Derby. Try use that card, only difference i had was no alarm and the book pack was foreign lol. Oh, and i paid £3250 for it in Nov last yr ;)

Centre diamonds will stay silver btw
Im a Halifaxian, obviously the better side of the hill ;)
Ill keep an eye out, get ursen a Cliosport sticker for the back window, and keep an eye out for me in my flamer
My black 172 had a few £ sepnt on the xenons before i bought it, in the end it was the ballast, not the bulb. Even spurious bulbs are about £80, and they're white, as oppose to the blueish std
