So what your saying Ben is its a bit like BMC CDA v ITG Maxogen debate. Same basic job - with the ITG perhaps giving slightly better results - but it all comes down to price.

1st Dibs on the turinis!

Same ones mate, mine said -50mm on the box too!:cool:

Yer, ignore what is says on the box.... They lowered my non-cup packed 182 about 30mm ish. Deffo nowhere near 50mm!

Cheers Andy - I can make out the tyre dimensions now i'm not on crappy work monitor. Look good on there mate. As mentioned above, can be picked up ridiculously cheap on the bay for track/winter wheels.

Makavelli - are those 15"s or 16"s on your RB mate?

I wouldn't have thought you secure the MDF to the door card. I presume he would have drilled the MDF and screwed it into the door using the original holes (in the door) and then screwed the speaker to the MDF seperately, or use extra long screws and screw the speaker to MDF to door all in one.

i4 is Mat's company!

You were parked next to my RB182 in Century Wharf!:cool: Can't believe how much bigger the 197 is compared to my 182. Car was looking nice mate, but could do with a clean. Lol;)

ET means 'Einpresstiefe' which is 'insertion depth' So, my wheels are ET45, or put simply 45mm offset

Dont think the offset will be 140mm mate (ET140) Centre bore for my 182 is 60.1mm iirc

Oh, and he rr'd his Lupo and it run 125bhp, bang on book. Guess VAG are better at consistant engine output than Renault. lol.

My mate fitted a BMC CDA to his Lupo Gti, same engine as your Polo Gti, and it was a lot smaller than the BMC on mine. Also, his BMC needed a 70mm CAF, mine needed 80mm. Whether that will affect performance etc, i dont know, just some info for you to mull over!

There is supposed to be a get together on Sunday 6th Apr, so pop along and make your own mind up!:cool:

I'm very much of the opinion that the quality of tyres shows the level of care you give your car. I would rather see shot PE2's on the car than new cheap crappy tyres. First thing i checked when i bought mine was that there was PE2's all round. Just my opinion tho!

I suppose it comes down to what they are offering part ex. If its going to cost you £180 say to fit new tyres, are they going to offer you more than £180 on top of the current part-ex price? If they say they are going to give you £8k with the shot tyres but only £8.1k with new tyres, then...

Best price i got for Michelin PE2's in 205*45*16 is from Blackcircles: £92 fitted using RENAULT 5% disc code. Has the place that you are part ex'ing the car into pointed out the tyres or is it just that you know they need doing?

Welcome mate, good to see another welsh boy. Check the local meetings page for the next south wales meet (you will need to fork out the £5 membership to post in that section tho!)

Doh! Thats my cunning plan foiled then!

My understanding was that they had the correct centre bore so that the spacers fitted (stuck onto) the hub and didnt just rely on the horizontal force of the bolts to hold them on.

Check the local meetings, Chris is trying to organise another South Wales one in the near future! See here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?p=3853231#post3853231

Ooo, From March 2010 £270 for the 182. Ouch!

Damn Steve, that looks awesome! Mind you your v6 didnt look half bad either. lol

Mine splutters/has no power until the temp needle moves from its stop. Usually i try to fast idle for a few mins before going anywhere to get some warmth into the engine.

I would keep the cup mate, i could live without half the stuff in the FF, bar the seats which you have already swapped over.

Funnily enough, one drove past me at lunchtime today....looked awesome in the flesh. Certainly beats the F430 that keeps driving past ragging it off the rev limiter in first.

God damn it, the more I see LY182s the more I wish i had got one! Work looks spot on, would never know it had been painted.

Its only worth what someone else is willing to pay, have a look on ebay at similar items that have been recently sold and it should give you a ball park figure.

Cool mate. b*****d to fit?

As said above its worth contesting - even if its just a letter and a few ads of similar cars printed of the autotrader website. This is what you paid your insurance for - so that if the worst happens you get compensated to the value of your loss (in an ideal world anyway)
