if it were me, id put a reserve on it (otherwise you may not get the price you want)
also it may be with saying that you reserve the right to end it & any time.
also tell them that they can look at it before the auction finishes (just in case some one wins it & is funny about it when they see...
i would advise against putting your mobile in the ad, let them e mail you for it if they are genuine (in the decription tell them to e mail you any question & then give them your number if they ask for it)
also say that no canvassers etc in the ad.
lastly if its for asle elsewhere, tell them that.
speak to glenn (the dude with the black willy converted valver) on this one, i remember him saying that hed never do it again, he said hes shaying on 15s & that 17s were awful.
easy as mate, pull of the centre bit where the badge is & there are allen screws undo those & it comes off, if you fit an after market one (momo etc) i think you will need a boss for it.
also the standard bus size one will fit back on after no probs.
Please note the mileage on this vehicle is subject to change as it is being used by a company director ... it all depends how stressed out he is, as to the abuse he gives the car & how far he travels doing it.

sell yours first mate, as the dealer wont care about the work youve done to it, they will just see it as a K reg valver.
if you were to do a deal with them, they ought to give you the money & the car, not the other way around .
i got some gunk for mine, in a spray can, so i will see how that goes/
I also bought a new spark plug cover & im going to paint the rocker cover too (got a new gasket for it) as it looks poo at the min.
guess what ill be doing the weekend !
my mate had one put on his fiesta zetec s, for about 250.00
It was never as good as a standard one, if your car has a/c (as his did) personally i wouldnt bother putting one in.
Just get a car that has one already.
one thing i will say is always let it warm up before nailing it (if your going to)
I dont take mine over 3k until its warmed up & even then I dont thrash it.
i had a play against a mk2 172 in my standard 16v, he pulled quite considerably on me, till it hit the magic 4k mark then i began to pull, sadly i only got about 2 car lengths behind.
I also had a go against a mk1 172 (it had 17s on it & an oval magnex exhaust) off the lights there was sweet fa...
it saps it, as the cold air doesnt get into the engine, the k&n throws in warm air, it will sound nice, but be slower than the standard air box.
(some one more technical will be able to expalin it to you, but thats the general idea)
in the media section there are loads of valvers mate, personally i like the standard 5 spoke alloys.
It really does depent what your after, ie 5 spokes or multi spokes, also the colour of them too (silver or anthracite, or black maybe)
