^ sold it to storm rider on here and swapped for standard one. Bumper is professionally plastic welded and smoothed by a bodyshop, would cost 600 quid to have done normally, but i had it done with a load of work so got it discounted

i'm having to deal with admiral customer service on a regular basis at the moment, alls ok so far, but just wait until they try to tell me i cant buy my car back and offer me a silly figure like 3 grand for it and they shall be feeling my rath lol

cracking wax this, very easy to use an apply. looked good on both my yellow car, black car and on my dads silver van (dont ask, he stole it when i wasnt home) Few pics on my car....

get some carbon fibre oz centre caps on those wheels as well ;)

cars down 80mm, so jay you can keep your lowness title :rasp: i like it, obviously i prefer it as it was before but thats because it was done to my taste and not yours. Headunit looks spot on tho, and the gear knob looks good, i just couldnt warrnt the cost of getting a standard one. Nice to...

i did 800 miles in the week and a half i owned my car :(

micras are tooooo embaressing. i've been looking at seicento sportings though for about a grand ;) The wheels are staying yeah lol.

i'm keeping my eye out. Thing is i've already talked to mrs copper about this, and they say that all that will happen will be that mr 'taxi driver' will get an alibi off people he works with who will say'he was here all night' and theres nothing they can do to prove otherwise. Its a sods world...

lol, cheers edde. bailey - what sort of mileage etc has it done? probelm is i'm in stoke so would be pointless me spending 50 odd quid on petrol/train fares to pick it up when its only worth 200 quid lol

theres two part numbers. one is a smooth texture, and one is bumpy found that out when i needed one for mine. think mine was 24quid + vat off renault, but shopped round and got it for a tenner (but was the smooth not textured one)

lol i'm not one of them, i'm one of the really awkward types who will stand, watch and ask questions ;) my stabby - will let you know how it goes!

stoke meets on sunday edde ;) dont tell me you've double booked :eek:

lol, nothing wrong with temptation, and i forgot what a busy man you are ;) to be honest cheap rovers etc. are two a penny round here at the mo, i'll just have to have a read up of what to look for etc.

lol hope it wasnt a flash of the sexual variety ;) seen a few about just recently, saw one today going through congleton, maybe the same one who knows lol

it was a bit of a dreamers idea anyway really... grandad caps it is lol

good stuff, will be a case of 'hook me up fred' and leave you to it i think lol

^ thats what i'm thinking, with me working ina big retail park, the doors always get dented by trolleys etc, despite me taking up three spaces ;) your parents rover sounds like a bargain, if you have a scout round the auction for me and let me know what there is that would be great...

thats absolutly bargainous, a lot less than i was expecting. Just need to get the bloody car back now lol. Just out fo interest fred, what sort of air filter do u recommend to go with the battery relocation, just a plain old cheap open one? I've seen maxogens used, but dont really see the point...

interesting! thing is thats probw orth about 5 grand more than my car which is probabaly the reason it isnt a write off. Ah well guess i'll just have to wait and see :(

hmmm interestin! edde - we may have to make a trip to a local auction ;)

cheers mate thats a big help^ To be honest prob just let fred do it as i'm having a load of other work done at the same time. Interesting to see the process though

I had a flash back the other day (i know it sounds corny) that it was a toyota carina and was from z cars, so keep your eye out. Think it was silver, although CCTV thought it was dark red (it was in black and white) due to the shade of grey. Apparently also had a squiggly number plate, hence why...

bloody cliosport moderators ;) it was one of the 'infamous' stoke taxi drivers, and for thsoe people who live in stoke, you will know what i'm talking about

^ doesnt mean anything lol, i was talking to a lad just the other day with a monaco 172 who had the sticker in the window but has never even been on cliosport, it just came when he bought the car lol

may possibly have a 1.4 turbo lump in it out of a renault 5 but i seriously doubt it if its the one i'm thinking of

^ lmao i'm looking at seicento sportings, cant lower street cred more than that! I'm gonna go to an auction i think with a grand and see what i can get

^ *sobs* Russ, a taxi driver pulled out on me and i had to ditch it in a post :( theres a thread somewhere about it. shame about insurance, i thought i wouldnt get anything back but hey ho. Got a quote off cliospares of around the 2k mark to fix it fully, sprayed if i supple the carbon bonnet...

I like em, much better than the poo 182 wheels. I'd prob look for some superleggras instead on ebay and have em refurbed in that colour to look like new

Going through the first set of traffic lights, looks really cleam and tidy

whats the performance/petrol consumption like with them? i assume they're pretty pokey
