Says no reserve in title, and says reserve not met next to price, f**king eejit.

My guess is the person who bid 4100 meant to bid 410.

TEG, where did you get the alloys done?

So, all the quotes I got back are as follows: K&N Alloys Southampton: £180 MyAlloys Basingstoke: £55-60 per wheel (£220-240) The Wheel Specialist Ferndown: £312 (£280 without tyres) A1 Powder Coaters Southampton: £240 Silver Wheels Ferndown: £264 (extra £12 per wheel if I want matte paint) Why...

Definitely wouldn't be putting 172 wheels on it, they're gash. Turini's if you can, but not vital, and they don't come cheap.

Through price comparison, Flux Direct gave me about £550 on a normal policy, so will give them a call and see what I can do. I'll be looking for a quote under £300 to consider taking the plunge though.

Are you under 25? If so that price is incredible!

As title; does anyone know any insurance companies that will insure under 25's on classic car policies? Any first hand experience? Thanks, Jack.

You got all the Focus business sorted out now Joe?

Such a nice car, just utterly perfect as a sensible all-rounder.

They should do it in anthracite rather than black.

I'm undecided on the sidelight issue, I see both sides, the standard bulbs look naff, but a lot of aftermarket ones look blue, and I f**king hate it when people have blue lights, so wouldn't want to be one of those people. I also don't like it when someone comes up behind you with ridiculously...

Jezza, what bulbs are you running for sidelights?

Why didn't you snap up R-Sport's one? It was pretty much the best LY anyone could ask for?

Paisley want £30, and that's one way.

How much would posting them to City Powder cost? I looked at driving there, but it's £50 in fuel, and 6 hours driving return, and time is money and all that.

Silver Wheels - it may well be on the high side, but nearly everyone down here wants good money for it - not found a single company yet offering less than £50 a wheel.

You've all swayed me you b******s! This might get expensive. Want them done properly in Matt Graphite, got a quote for £264, just seeing whether he will change tyres over for me too. Figured by the time I do the refurb, or go somewhere cheaper, then pay a tyre fitter to swap tyres, I'd be...

You sure you were using the right nozzle? I have a nozzle that I'm pretty sure could strip paint on any car.

Just sent out lots of emails and will get on the phone following responses. Every single website I've been to, every company is claiming to be Bournemouth's leading alloy repair specialists, do they not understand not everyone can lead? I hate cliches.

That's part of it though, see bad jobs done so often, and you tend to get what you pay for, so if I do get them done cheap, will they be better than DIY? I think can get all materials for around £50-70.

Is there a problem with the site? Breaks haven't worked leaving me looking like a r****d.When Powder City in Birmingham will do a set for £80, it's not ideal having to pay £200, I'd probably pay £40 a wheel tops, so £160.

I can't seem to find any company in the South that will refurbish four alloys for any less than £200.With this in mind, I'm thinking about doing it myself - I tend to be quite good at these sorts of things because I'm a perfectionist; I'll be taking my time.The only problem is, they're...

Yes, just a few weeks ago I went with Greenlight despite having a cheaper quote from Admiral, was really impressed by the customer service and knowledge of the RS models and popular mods - plus you know what you're gonna get upfront, whereas Admiral like charging fees for changes.

You've not bought the right car if you want compliments from girls, you've bought a chavved up Clio.

And hence so would my wallet.

No, was just getting up some photos like I said I would yesterday. Acid shall be on order.

They're like that in pretty much every corner. I take it given their complexity, they're going to be a bit of a b*****d to perform a DIY refurb on?

I have the DS213j, I love it - not that it's much help to you now.

Shouldn't do unless you're using spacers and running silly low.
