Lol, I was going to say ! I've seen it quite a few times, I thought it was standard (apart from the seats)

It should be the responsiblity of the purchaser to HPI it yeah, but tbh if your buying from a trader you would (well I would) have expected them to have done it already. Now the seller knows he's got a recorded car, so unless he already knew it & paid rock bottom for it, he won't make much on...

What he said.

I think i'd p*ss myself if I were following that car. That exhaust omfg !!!!

loves it !! I love them so much. There are a few round my way. I followed one a while ago, oddly all eyes were on the merc, not my plastic car.

Nice pics there Lee :cool: The cars look pretty cool (the women are the same old same old lol;)) I quite like that black beetle :o The evo's & scooby's look ace too:approve: - what engine is in that beetle ? Please tell me it's something worthwhile !

Fpmsl !!!

^ has Deb got all that stuff on her car ?

If the car has fsh & lots of bills etc it should in theory be fine. As well as the car, try to get a feel for the seller too, if the dude looks like he thrashes it hard everywhere - walk away. If he opens it up hard from cold just to impress you, walk away. At the end of the day, as Brian says...

Most mk2 vee's for 13k will need their cambelts doing etc. Ones for a touch more will probably have had it done. Yep, agreed.

I just parked it that way round & couldn't be arsed to turn it round etc :o Sorry folks.

Nice pics there Col :cool:

Yeah I think it's an ex-press demo car, as I have a load of mags with x reg cars in. The number is higher than mine, mines an 02 reg though.

They look so crap with silver wheels !

I saw that ad on there the other day. I had a little chuckle to myself.

^ yep, 99% of mk1's are silver.

As already said the Hartge ones look like some cheap TSW wheels, flipping awful tbh.

I brushed it on, I don't remember what stuff it was tbh. I did them about two years ago & tbh they still look nice. Try the place I pm'd you, if not them a decent paint shop should be able to help you out mate.

When ever I see 172/182 owners around, I clock their car and they clock mine, then they turn their head away so fast it's a wonder how they don't snap their neck:S I don't even get to nod to them etc, miserable sods. I do get a few liking my bodykit though lol.

I used normal stuff on mine, I only did over the ap decals though & not the whole caliper.

I love the current c class, i'd have one !

Nice one Sarah :) As said, don't name it !

Saw the back end of it driving down the road where is Fifteen place is just now (opposite Moorfield's eye hospital) Quite rare to see RS clio's round here !

I'd go to a specialist imo. New brakes after a few months seems mad, unless you've tracked it or it's driven very hard everywhere. Tbh though if you do need pads etc, you could probably give the brakes a shot yourself, they aren't overly hard to change at all really.

^ just what I was thinking. Folk say that the front of the phase 1 172 looks ace over the phase 2 car, yet when it comes to a mk1 vee (with the same headlights as the phase 1 172) folk don't like them :S I like my car a lot, so sod the haters.

I went for Osram Diadem's which are bluey, they go quite nice with my car (which is blue) :)

Basically it comes down to how many of the cars are written off & stolen in your area etc, plus how much it'll cost to repair the car. Some (including myself) have had some cracking quotes (well sub 1k) on some pretty expensive cars.

I much pefered it un-touched tbh.

My old man his it in in his 172, he doesn't get that warning. Have you tried putting the disc in again ? He's got he 2007 disc iirc, but even with the old disc it never came up with that message.

You will if you want some front & back as they are sold in pairs. Side rep bulbs are different.
