    What to insure my 172 for.

    I was thinking £3k, as i've insured it for £4k for the past 2 years but an 8 year old 172 isn't worth that much any more plus it's not a snarling rocket, just a fast road car with minor mods and £3k will get me the same car with similar mods. Rob said £2.8k, i'm thinking £3k, that sound about...

    What to insure my 172 for.

    I think you're probably right tbh, they have nose dived in price recently and there are nice modified examples for around £3k. I was shocked that people are asking £4k:S dreamers, you can get a nice 182 for that.

    What to insure my 172 for.

    This isn't a what's my car worth thread, i've got a fair idea what it would sell for. I am about to insure it with a modified car insurer and they've told me to insure it for what it's worth plus all the mods, in the event it gets written off I need to have enough of a pay out to create the...

    New MOT Additions (ATTENTION: All with removed headlight washers!)

    In reality i'd say aftermarket steering wheels will be a problem as the factory aitbag has been f*cked off, I wonder if that applies to curtain airbags in the seats? Anyone with aftermarket seats might have a problem. But f*ck knows, I bet even the MOT garages will have a hard time figuring...

    Removing rear seats help!?

    I put the bolts back in, but I took alot of the rust & crap off before they went back in, I also gave them a good coat of WD40.

    What's the best air filter

    Just as long as he doesn't buy an ITG panel filter, what a p*ssing waste of money that was. Although I run a V6 box so my opinion doesn't count for sh*t because thats just a good noise maker. lol One day i'll get the damn thing on a dyno to find out if any of them make a damn bit of...

    What's the best air filter

    K-Tec/Pipercross if you insist on spending money, paper one needs to be changed every 3 days.;) Although a pair of tights over the throttle body works quite well.:evil:

    Illegal ecu mod, what the hell does that mean? I guess airbag missing means no aftermarket steering wheels.

    Mad race! On board BMW on track.

    I had to turn the sound down to minimum, that f*cking whine was doing my head in. I don't understand how he started the race that far down the grid. Unless he thought qualifying was a waste of his time, as he knew he'd blitz everyone in the race within a few laps.

    is a v6 airbox worth the money?

    It's not worth the money TBH unless you can get a second hand one from the for sale section. Standard airbox with piper x filter, CAF and acoustic valve removed is the best setup, imo. Although some say totally standard is best, most just stick in a good panel filter. If you just want noise...

    How much to charge - Advice

    A photographer retains copyright regardless, unless specifically asked to sign it over which is rare in my experience. I've been commisioned to do jobs where the client wanted unlimited usage rights, which is almost like giving away copyright but as the photographer you still retain the right to...

    V6's?

    Hopefully people with some taste will buy them and sort them out. Red grills are easy to respray and tints can be ripped off. All that ICE can be ripped out and sold on and the power ranger steering wheel can be f*cked off with ease. Unfortuantly it's not just chavs that ruin cars, even...

    My mk4 Golf Progress.

    Car's looking good, stance is nice and new wheels are a big improvement. The only car I miss is my old mk4 1.9TDI. Wasn't fast at all only 90bhp, but so nice to drive and really comfortable, did so many miles in it.

    172 Thumb Grips

    Not to my knowledge mate, k-tec use to do them but they stopped due to fitment issues. People get their steering wheels refurbed and get leather ones made, but these are hand stitched and cost a fortune, around £200 for a complete wheel. Might aswell just buy an aftermarket wheel.

    How much to charge - Advice

    Not if they like your work, they'll use you because they know you can get the job done. Bear in mind the years of experiance as a photographer you have, and the amount of skill required to produce high quality images.

    How much to charge - Advice

    £150 min imho, although £200 would be better. But let them know it's a favour if they give you more work then £250 min If you charge too little then they'll expect it every time.

    I seen loads of freelance jobs advertised recently as 'great way to gain experience or build your portfolio' all aimed at students that a few years ago would have been paid commisions. I was earning good money with my studio a year ago but i've had to let it go through lack of work. I'm...

    This is why i'm currently looking for full time work in someone elses studio. Everyone with a DSLR thinks they're a professional photographer and are diluting the market for pocket money.

    How much to charge - Advice

    That's where charging for time comes into play, if it's three then you can get them done in a day including photoshop more than likely. So I would think £300 is reasonable but if you feel that's a bit much then £150-£250 is more than fair.

    Those shots of the laptops you did were very good, I use to assist a product photographer in the summer when I was still at school and sometimes he took a couple of days to get just a few shots, endlessly faffing around with lights, sometimes he belted out loads of shots in a day. Don't get...
