Yer got a filter on for protection mainly, thought it may have something to do with it due to having a glare shadow sort of thing. Will try with it off and a hood next time.

Cheers, didn't know what to google for it really. Hoods seem a popular solution, ive got them but wasn't using them but not sure if they would help in this case? Mike

How can they be avoided? As there wasn't much light around there at the time. Thanks Mike

I am new to phtography and was taking some quick pics of the car today. Got these wierd light reflections on some of the pictures with longer exposures, is it just dirt on the lens or am i doing something wrong, or is it the neighbours light? Thanks Mike

Poor pic but you get the idea

You know when you really hate someone ...............

Saw that but didn't want to hi-jack since my problem seems wierd as i aren't leaking water but seem to be holding pressure now.

Noticed fan was running last night, then today i had lost all my water. Took a lot to fill it up again, then it lost some more, topped up and is now holding up. There are no leaks, its all bone dry under the bonnet and on my drive, my oil level hasn't gone up, dont have any mayonnaise, no...

Depends what you want from a car, the dci is slow but cheap to tax and amazing fuel economy, whereas the 1.2 is faster (still slow :P). Personally i'd be looking at the higher powered dci's which have cheap tax, similar insurance but a bit more power. Shame the 100's seem to be rare atm or i'd...

Sorry, posted in wrong section.

You dont know how tempted i am :eek:

1700 for my car, not bad since i only paid 2K last year!

My uncles got all the equipment to do it, hes a bit of a pt mechanic. Wouldn't dream of doing it myself.

Thanks, nevermind. Will prob get the apex's.

Also how much will they lower it?

Will 172 springs fit, standard ones? because just been offered them cheap. Mike

Agreed Just buy a black one if your that bothered!

It is cheaper to declare on the street with bell, think it must be because if its on drive/garage they know which house to steal the keys from.

I'm wanting to lower my car about 40mm. Looking at these: http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=3665819 Will they be ok for my 1.2 dynamique, do i need to change anything else like shock absorbers, do you get 4 in a pack? Thanks Mike

Looks good mate, gives me an idea of what mine will look like colour coded too which is useful Mike

I know i should really check with them but i noticed this on the website's faq. I only have 4 months left, cant afford springs until next month anyway so might aswell wait until renewal but would be good to get them on asap. Edit: just noticed it says not be able to provide, doesnt say we...

I know what your saying but to me it sounds like them saying Thank you sir, thats an extra £x for decreasing your chances of crashing. Might ring em tomorrow, however i did a quote online and they didnt ask about mods.

Its in the guide section i think, but you need to cough up the tenner!

Must be on you own f*kin island to get them quotes! If i were you i'd just buy it from elephant!

I have read all of my policy details and the only thing it says about modding is: Springs dont do any of that afaik, so do i need to tell them? Thanks Mike

But i am declared as the main driver, my mum is just the owner, keeper and policy holder, technically legal. Its all changing soon anyway into my name which i wish i had done from day 1, then i could afford to insure a 172, so my advice is to go solo from day 1.

Could anyone colour code my whole car, put white bullets on, white 172 wheels and lower 45mm. TIA Mike My car: The wheels:

Then he cant be main driver. Have you tried a quote with bell/admiral/quinn, takes 5 mins, better than just talking about it.

Will he drive it more than you? same question.

Could still post it since it aint a 1*2. Also, have you got a pic of when it was just colour coded before the accident except the one in the other thread. Thanks Mike
