Lol. I like that but it'll encourage the chavies to try and prove a point if they see it :rasp:

Lol. When I tried to get a quote with my insurance for an 04 plate 172 they asked if it was a 182 cup or just a 182. I explained it was just a late registered 172 but they wouldn't have it and were adamant I was wrong.

I've been tempted to go down this route but heard loads of stories about them knocking £££s off the online valuation for minor things. Really they want you to buy a car from them and will probably offer you the full online valuation if you do. Not that any sane person would buy a car from...

From inside the car it just sounded s**t because it rattled everything inside lol. Didn't help having a stripped rear though.

That all depends on how much noise your ears can take. I had mine decatted for 2 days and couldn't stand the noise plus I was embarrassed to drive it.

Induction wise I'd personally stick with the airbox and buy an uprated panel filter i.e ITG. I had a Viper on mine although it sounded pretty good it restricted power because it's difficult trying to find a decent place for your CAF without cutting holes in your lower grill or losing a fog light.

Mine does the exact same thing but it's been like that for most of the time I've had the car (6 months). It's more noticeable as the revs die down after revving quite high. I haven't had any other issues related to it, up to now anyway (touch wood). I've also heard other RS's doing it as well.

I didn't actually mean the belt, I meant the alternator it's self. I've heard they start whining when they're due to fail. It was just an assumption by the way.

Doesn't have a fan belt as the fan is electric, the whine you're talking about might be your alternator.

If that's true, surely that's false advertising on Halfords part?

Most I've had it mine was about 10 packs of laminate flooring, two rolls of underlay and my tool box. Not as packed as some of the photos up there in this thread but it was heavy and performance was hindered due to it lol

Black cars look stunning when they're clean and shiny like yours in those pictures but like you say they need so much attention because if you go out for a drive or it rains it's filthy again. lol

The GDI stickered ph-1 would have probably been KungFuSpagetti from here. There's a nice surprise under his bonnet ;)

+1 Are they standard wheels? Or are they some aftermarket rubbish?

Angle grinder for the nuts that hold the old centre section to the cat. ^^^ That was the only way I could get mine off :o lol

Gorgeous motors these. Those white wheels look mint too. I use to share the same opinion but I saw the mk2 FRS in the flesh for the 1st time on Thursday and my view has changed lol.

I did a 380 mile all round to pro-speed for a de-cat :o

If you're rich, why didn't you get a fully comp policy then?

I'm the same, tram lining can cause abit of concern when you're driving spiritedly on a country road. lol

Think you can get them in either 195/45, 205/45 195/40 or 205/40. Previous tyres on mine were 215/40s but it had a very harsh ride.

Ahhh right. It was just my personal opinion that, if I'd paid quite alot for something I want it to be on show lol. If that's what you like then I'd go for it :)

Think it might be a waste on a black car to be honest. You wouldn't notice the carbon bits at 1st glance if you get what I mean?

I thought you'd sold it on, remember seeing it in the forsale section anyway.

Is that the one you bought off a member off here and when you got it home there was a massive hole in the gear box? and lol at it caked in all that dust.

Lol at how small that engine looks next to the wide bodykit. Those wheels are shocking.

Cheers mate! If I do change cars chances are it'll be a down grade to honest. I'm not considering swapping my Cup for this orange gti though, I wouldn't touch another heavily modified car again after the last one I bought died on me.

Lol I know, that's why I'm surprised at myself for liking it, not normally a fan of loud colours.

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1130699.htm Is it wrong I actually quite like it? lol It's way to modified for me though as I'd be looking for something a little more standard.

Looks really well that Matty, although I think Notts is a little far for him travel from Turkey :rasp: lol

Why don't you test it by, locking the car with the fob, leave it 30 seconds or so then open it with the key? If it's working the alarm should go off.
