That's exactly what I was going to ask.

bs number - british standard number, it'll be on the right hand side at the bottom mate. If it does fail on them you'll have 14 days to get a new set made up any way. Personally I think it will pass. Let us know if they fail you on them.

Are the letters the right size Jay ?? and is there space of 11mm from the letters to the edge of the plate ? if yes to both you'll be fine. also do they have the bs number on them - not that any mot testers ever looked for it on my cars.

If the brake dust is really stubborn you could try wonder wheels - but it is very acidic, so much so that you may want to water it down a bit. Its really good though:) (only ever use it a few times a year if that) it takes all kinds of cr*p off. A good idea (I don't know if any one said it) is...

I went out in one yesterday & I loved it to bits :approve: It was noisy though (i'm not used to the engine being behind me) but i'd live with that ! You missed a plug James (Dash);)

Where you from ?? I live near Romford & saw an 05 racing 182 on sunday evening, this one had the white racing stripes on it, I saw it by the brewery.

I don't know of any one on here thats had it done, removing the strips from the bumper is a mission as they are bonded in. Also with the sides, watch out for car park dents as there's no protection you'll prob end up with a few from careless idiots.

^ have you got any pics of it ?? I love the escort cosworth - one of my all time favourite cars.

^ they look to be yeah, good spot ! the cars gash though !

Personally I think that getting it done in a different colour to the colour it is at the min is a total waste of money, resprays knock loads off of the re sale value & unless you go for a proper respray its not worth it. Unless you planning on keeping it for a while or getting it seriuosly...

^ I agree, having driven a mk2 172 loads of times the 5k that people rave on about doesn't seem great at all:( The other thing i've noticed that at 5k upwards the car (which is totally standard,standard exhaust etc) is really loud inside:dapprove: In fact its quite unbearable.

funnily enough, i was waiting for a bus, so wern't in the car. <<< I drive one of these ;)

looks nice & its silver too (very rare !)

my dads did exactly the same, he got his done under warranty no problems.

^ oh yeah he had over 400 :eek: :cool:

Mines got 220 as standard, I know of people running well over 300 thru the front wheels. One thing that really annoys me is torque steer, which you get a lot of if you nail it a bit from standing.

momo's look cool, isotta's arent too bad - as Jamesy says anything will fit if you have bought the boss.

^ I quite like that, although it looks a bit Mitsi Evo..ish to me.

Thats vid's quality, seen it a few times & still makes me laugh.

if you can't get a pair of white wings, they are about £35 each from renault (un painted)

Personally I think that that shape m3 looks rubbish on 18's, the 19's look great, butt he rides supposed to be better with the 18's. I love the vee:D what rear lights are they on it ?? they aren't standard mk2 ones are they ? I also love the m3 - you never see that shape in estoril...

renault sell the one's from the mk1 172 for about £3 each (the mk1 came on oz f1's) they will be silver though. I don't know of anywhere that does black centre caps.

Saw this the other day in dagenham, definately different !!

I thought car supermarkets were knocking 197's out for about 14k ?? Some one priced one up with all of the possible options & it was about the same price as the 197 from renault with nothing added on.

Lmfao - thats one of the funniest questions i've ever seen on here. How on earth could she drive around with a plate looking like that !

I think when the site first started off they had the right idea, but they seem to have run out of the usual sheds (the really badly done cars) so now thay are picking on seriously modded cars which have been planned out & had a lot spent on them:rolleyes: I'm not overly keen on modded cars -...

Personally I don't see how your car did get on there, barry boy cars to me are one's with no thought to mods at all, plus bits done on the cheap (cars with just silly wings shoved on & lexus lights mainly) Your car, although not normally to my taste, looks like its had a few quid spent on it &...
