I want to pay 1k for it, I'll ring a few places tomorrow, if they will do it for that or as close as I'll pay there and then!
I hate insurance! At least I flew through the MOT today :D
Insurance is due next month, quick quote from Flux was 1250, which seems more than it should be.
I'll be ringing around tomorrow etc, but what should I be paying on my modified 182?!

Was hoping for a lot closer to 1k...
I ran my 1.2's on 60mm PI's for 2 years in total on std shocks and had no problems, thats one of those myths that people bang on about but have never had experience with.
Ride quality won't be much good, back end will be stiff as, but will look cool and makes them handle a lot better on a...
Only ones to get are -60mm ones, apex or pi, the ride isn't great but if your young that doesn't matter, show over go on 1.2's.
If you need a hand fitting and aren't far drop me a pm.
Need to get the wipers off, complete as I need to get under the scuttle panel....obviously I've removed the nuts etc, but do I just need to pull hard to get them off?
Any damage to be caused?
This is gonna be awesome, banded steels are the choice of legends.
My opinion:
Get the side strips smoothed too though dude, and the number plate recess on the front.
Smoothe the boot handle thing, but not the numberplate as otherwise it looks way too plain, need something there to break it...
Cheers Doug, they were awesome but no need for them now so I thought I may as well get rid.
Super light too!
I ruined them a bit doing them matt black looking at it, should have left them how they were but you live and learn I guess, the new owner has interesting plans with them!
lol if I asked nicely!!
Turinis will be staying, other wheels will probably be for when I get bored of them! 1 set in bright silver, the other in anthracite!
I get around 32mpg, on pretty clear roads going 6 miles to work, thats driving nice and steady cos it isn't warm, I think 35mpg may be a little optimistic.
^ I'm torn on Anthracite as before or Silver for them to be honest, I'm thinking a nice bright high power silver, but Anthracite does look so good.....
It did sit better on the AST's, but in a way I prefer it now, feel like I'm growing up a bit (20 haha) and after a more standard kind of car!
Easier to change wheels and run spacers, wheel sits straight on them and stay on while you mess fitting the nuts, instead of balancing it on and finding a hole for the original bolts.
Just makes it that bit easier.
Personally I'd not go for anoidised ones, think it may look a bit tacky, unless they were anodised black or something...
The rally deisgns stuff is quite good quality, i bought some for a mock up college project I'm doing at the minute.
^ Which Lambda would you say Haz?
I paid 50 from GSF for my new one, Bosch too.
Remember to ask for owners club discount Paul if you buy from them. GSF are cheaper than CES when you take away the 10% discount.
