comon problem that would cause dash top to be removed would be dodgey trip computer on the dials (needs new dials), fused bulbs in the clock/radio display or an aftermarket stereo. on the more dodgey side of things, could have been clocked or smashed and airbag blew.

anyone know any technical details on this turbo engine yet? is it based on the D7F 16v engine? if so Matt black sell me an inlet manifold, exhaust manifold and turbo please when you get one in stock lol

i thought about one myself when lastyear when i was 17 and started working full time. worked out it was going to cost me £600 a month for petrol and insurance compaired to my £200 for my 1.2, decided against it after a long think and decided a car isnt everything and id rather have my...
