ive just heard that interior neons have been made illigal, get him to take them out please.. you too chris.. your not japanese. :D
undercar indicators.. maybe get done for impersonating an rac van.. on its roof? nah i think they should be fine.
FM
use "traffic film remover".. i think thats what i used to use. mix 20% of that with water n spray it on ya wheels, wait 5 mins n ya rims will come up like new.
FM
he has an fto, respect, lovely cars.. what the hells he doin with blue neons inside? did you slap him and rip them out and stamp on them? i think you should.
undercar indercaters... different... i like it :)

i have actually took some pics of the car in filler/primer, n what damage ive gotta do... some before n after pics for myself like.. but i aint developped them yet.. will do them before the end of the week n get em on here. i gotta put my new rear quarter on which is gonna be a mission n half...
suffolk.. damn lol, if you was closer ide say sure. i got a project of my own on the go atm anyway. i work friday satday n sunday 12 n 1/2 hour shift, so i get all week to work on my car :)
no idea, i put a pair of m3 style mirrors on a saab the once n they just looked awful. they dont line up, the baseplates are wack n i ended up sickaflexin the hole thing to the door n held it on witha couple of self tappers.
m3-mirrors = dont go there
FM
not really much difference though, tis upto you mate. if you want it to sound sweet and cost less, get a piperx or k&n.. if you wanna get the most out of your engine, then get a relocation pipe n go down k-tec avenue :)
FM
damn right, and if they do go into the wings. when its painted, look at the bottom of your wings where mud usually splashes up.. some bodyshops cant be arsed to degrease them properly and will leave road tar n sh*t on there n jus laquer over it. in which case its there forever n ever n ever so...
easy people. depends if its a solid colour or not really. If its solid then theres no reason to go into the wings. If its metallic then yea basecoat the hole bonnet and tops of wings for colour then clearcoat the lot.
FM
sure, you have central locking i take it on the key? delock it.. debadge it, maybe smooth the tailgate completely n remove the rear wiper?. get yaself down to halfords n get some filler, fibreglass, primer, sanding paper (p80, p180 and p320 for filler work) (p800 wetordry for your primer)...
i think the piperX sounds awesome. dunno bout the k&n. ide have thought with enough cold air supply, a couple of pipes comin from the front of the car, there wouldnt be any real noticeable power loss
FM
you changing the colour completely.. ie from straight red to metallic black. or red to metallic red?
any repairs to do?
ide say roughly for it fully stripped, prepped & materials at a normal garage £600ish. if you take it to a well known garage they will rip you off proper and charge...
sorry bout all the questions, just tryin to figure out exactly what im gonna need and how much im gonna have to throw at it. Will my gearbox, (mk 1 phase 3 1.4) go onto the gt turbo engine? or will i need the turbo box too?
cheers
FM
easy people. ive debadged mine n i think it looks better. your lookin at around the £100- £150 mark to get the holes fibreglassed, repaired n tailgate painted. so up to you m8 :)
FM

i remember when he had an astra gte 2.0 16v n we raced a mk 1 rs turbo. it was literally neck n neck all the way round roundabouts n off traffic lights.

FM
i have no idea. hes a mechanic, can do virtually anythin with a car , b*****d lol. hes gettin a written off williams, serious back end smash.
ok pete nice one. any idea of the cost of a 2nd hand gtt lump from local scrapyard?
FM
easy people. my cousin has a 1.4rt clio and hes stumbled accross a williams engine. he now wont shut the f*ck up telli9n me how his clio is gonna eat mine. im gonna put everythin on hold and try and seek a gtt lump. would the turbo lump drop into my clio 1.4 (1997 mk1 ph3) relativley easy? Would...
