    Paint calipers, what colour?

    Yeah black will be ok . Depends if you want to show your calipers off though through the turinis . Even though the red's lighter it'll still look good on your flame red imo .

    Rear calipers 172, how do they work?

    The adjuster screw inside the caliper turns , the piston is prevented from turning by the lugs on the brake pad therefore pushing the piston forwards .There are 5 sprung washers inside the caliper pulling the adjuster screw back when you release the handrake .

    ^^^ Ok . If its written off , will it still have a valid MOT or does that become null and void ? If so, then what i said still applies .

    Clio windscreen advice...

    Just one flaw in claiming on your insurance . I'm assuming it doesn't have a valid MOT and would need a VIC test before its deemed as road worthy . So if it was repaired then it would also need to pass an MOT before it can be insured and it won't pass an MOT with a broken windscreen .

    Full comprehensive service history . Aux belt should have been done at 36k miles . Check the exhaust . I would imagine it's had a new one if its over 3 years old as they tend to rust easily and the back box's drop off . Also check condition of the brake discs and pads . Spark plugs " should...

    I had a k+n apollo on my 182 . I was keen on it tbh , it seemed to lose power and no 5k kick anymore . Bought it cheap off ebay , sold it again on ebay for more than i paid so it was all good . On the plus side , they sound good as in aliasomega's video . 0-60 in 8 seconds though ?? :eek: ;)

    172 cup wheels why..

    The lower the offset i.e ET37 the further out the wheels stick , so would catch on the outside of the wheel arch on a 182 as it has a wider track than the 172 afaik .
