It's a bit late in the day but for me: Buy new wing off and door in the right colour (including mirror) off here, normally about 900 available so shouldn't be hard to find. Fit these, sand the front bumper back yourself and get it smooth. Take it to a bodyshop and get them to blow the...

Awesome. Pics. Now.

Well done mate and a cracking write up as usual. Finally everything went OK, I literally read the whole thing waiting for something to happen. Free tickets you say?

One side of the box is a wet side, the other dry, passenger side wet, drivers side dry. If it's the drivers side it's properly easy, if it's the passenger side you need to take the plug out of the gearbox and fill it again, not exactly rocket science either. Exactly right on the rear disc...

Snowboarding and skiing - not really close FYI. LOL

A shaft in perfect condition (with ABS ring etc) should be about £50. Make sure it comes off the correct car as they all vary ever so slightly, so if you have a mk2 ph2 172 etc, make sure it's off a car that's the same. The rear wheel bearings... these are pretty much pointless to replace...

My advice, just buy a decent second hand driveshaft off of here, much easier than trying to piss about changing the boot. Do this first, if the noise is still there, get the wheel bearing done.

You can do both there, snow boarding and skiing, I ski'd last time, great fun. I'd be more than up for another blast up there. Proper knackering day though. Vicky - IMO you'd be better off on skis.

A lot of independant people out there that can do it now. Sure there was a thread on here for it.

Would that conversation not have been better via PM chaps? Hardly on topic...

FYI you could pick up a 172/182 for about the same as the 1.2 equivalent if you can afford to insure it?? How old are you?? 172 insurance gets reasonable about 20. I love the mini though, that looks awesome. I weally weally want to buy one some day.

Can't complain then (and at least they match). Sorry for spamming Gaz, let me know if you want the whole thread cleaned up a bit.

Sorry to piss on your bonfire but I hate the two colour-ness of them :( Otherwise, good work.

They look awesome, I look forward to the finished result.

Didn't know you were still here. How's the Megane?

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Gaz Coilovers/Ktec mounts & decat! Back in a clio :) Nice to see you're moving at your usual pace with this one, i.e you've got a load of parts before you've even taken your own pictures. Look forward to seeing what you make of this one.

Please use the "what is my car worth" thread.

Alright gramps. :rasp:

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread Black is by far the better colour choice IMO. Once the white fad is over (again) no one will want a white one. The black is so much less "look at me" too.

I'm sure it cost me money to get down there last time Tony?

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread I love that you're worried about kerning on a watermark!

The 172 has a blue tinted heat reflective windscreen with a small square in the middle bottom of the screen to allow satnav/toll road cards to work properly.

Euro car parts will be cheapest with their current 25% discount.

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread I'd be interested in how that came out.... I have a feeling it wouldn't be good though :o

I'm just going to step in here, and remind you that you haven't taken me for a spin yet... so you can't use this comment.

Good effort with this! Lovely car and it'll make a perfect track toy.

I bought the mrs one of the new Nikon Coolpix things to take to the lake district. She loves it, and it has different colour modes etc so you can get photos looking how you want pretty easily. I was really impressed at the quality of the pictures from such a small camera too.

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread I really really like that, it's even got the round steering wheel, as opposed to the flat bottom thing that is utter tripe.

Unplugging the speedo sensor does, just depends where the car reads speed from. Box or ABS

It's really easy. I bought mine on boxing day in the snow at PC world, looked it up online, was in stock, went to store, bought it, went home.
