you are allowed to get a pro-rata refund on your existing tax, then re tax it again under the new scheme. :)

you're lucky nobody nicked your trolley full of shopping when you ran after her! lol that would have really been a kick in the b****cks to find your shopping gone too... Heh.

report her reg plate to the cops. Leaving the scene of an accident is the crime. give the cops the witnesses details too. you did get these details didnt you....?

im more concerned about my V5 showing 257G/km of carbon than a raise of £20! :S any ideas as to how i can prove this is wrong and get it changed?

erm... my V5 says 257G/km of carbon dioxide :eek:

T20 is the size of all the screws on the parts you have mentioned. occasionally you will need a T30. My set ranges from T10 to T50. Oh, and make sure it includes a T27 :)

have you seen my guide for this? (sorry ive lost some of the pics in the guide) WEBSITE

nope, not very easy. the thing i did wrong to start with was not flattening the edges of the chips... i left them jagged, so they were still visible after the repair. Then i put too much paint on in 1 go... the sanding/buffing part was quite easy though, i'll feel confident doing that part...

Last night around 9:30pm doing "The Westover Circuit" in Bournemouth. Silver Ph1 172 with French plates and a mis-placed RenaultSport badge on the rear.

this kinda thread belongs on BarryBoys... lets not get that reputation :(

heh, right only another 8 or so on the bonnet to do... and then the whole front bumper. i think i'll go and get a quote for a full bumper respray. This was a good learning experience, but i wouldnt do it again lol

Final result after scratchX and a polish. (all but the biggest mark is now more or less gone)

After the final going over with 1500 wet n dry: (you can see the marks left by the paper)

i thought that... but the 1500 works very well. you just have to make sure you keep the surface well lubricated :) The ScratchX soon makes the paint look like new again afterwards.

heh, ok... i'll write a guide for my website when im finished. Does it show that im bored, off work for 2 weeks! Heh.

i didnt really buy the kit... the sanding pencils i made myself. I used some car shampoo mixed with water for the wet sanding, along with some 1500 grit wet n dry. Touch up pen i got from Renault for about £7 odd. then im using some Megs Scratch X to remove the effects of the sanding...

one of mine is fucked... hammer and a whatty chris? :S

Pro-Speed :approve:

right then... just been out and wet sanded some more to flatten the repair. The pic below is taken just after i had wet sanded so it hasnt been compounded to remove the scratches from the sanding. The reason i dont have a finished picture is because im still not happy with the results, so more...

and the car?

doubt it. its probably worth paying twice as much for Philips bulbs that wont need replacing next week. i rate Philips BlueVision bulbs highly :)

they're gonna be bright!

sounds about right considering its 3rd party.

looks like a pic of a Ph1 172 to me...

hot water mate.

there are 3 mounts... one under the battery, one visible on the other side of the engine bay and one under the engine. i went through 5 mounts in a year on my old 1.4 16v!

i bet you really hated doing that didnt you mate.... ;)

DONT RUB IT! get yourself to a pressure washer like i said...

im still happy with my 6230i, but due for renewal soon. everyone's raving about the N80 which is due out soon.

thats the weakest list of excuses if ever heard! do you want you car clean or not? :rasp:
