yeah, sorry, didn't explain it very well. Horses for courses chap, a dash-top gauge may be a bit far away to be legible (depending on the size of the gauge and your eyesight of course). BUt it will be closer to line-of-sight when driving, in case one starts flashing wildly about your manifold...

Putting the gauges by the 12v? madness ;) I was thinking more the little basin on top of the dash, instead of removing the display. But How much faff any of these options will be defeats me. Good luck though, be interesting to see what you come up with

A-pillar pods are quite popular, and can be trimmed to look as OEM as possible. Certainly going to look less in-your-face than a bunch of pods nailed to the dash. That said! the little cubby on the dashtop could be a good place to build a gauge-pod?

riiiiiiiiiiiight. That is just a little on the stalker side you know ;) Anyhow, I'd give benefit of the doubt, but thats because an LY R27 is everything I'd want in a clio, but if he gave me the runaround twice, screw it

And who's to say it wasn't in the garage earlier that day?

So, car was dirty, obviously a Cat C? Don't be silly now fella, he probably didn't want you to see it before he's given it a proper wash. As you said, cars are going to get dirty if they're driven at the moment. How's yours look after 20 miles of rain? :)

Hoothafakarhyoo? ;)

I've not got anything so far, things are a little....difficult at the moment...I'll inform Ron when next on FB

I still wouldn't trust a cheap patch-job on your bonnet. Do the whole panel or not.

That's not entirely fair is it. It's not their fault if you don't read your tariff ;) Anyway, yeah, there are various sites that give alternatives to 0800/0845 numbers.

I can't even remember how that's done TBH

Toboscus / Pewdiepie / Angry Joe

New metal needed innit. :( 80 quid for the repair panel 200 quid to fit it, seal it and paint it.

good luck. Last thing anyone needs in their life is bodywork issues. I'm staring down new rear wings at £300 a side.... it's got to the point where I might just have to bin off Listerine :(

Accident repair centres would be a good place to start. If they've got high-value cars out the front, have a look If they look more like they're doing cut-n-shut jobs on old rovers, move along

if you like losing with all the lag, go wireless.

Dat garage/shop. :) and what do we get here? Carnoisseur. Thanks

I wouldn't trust chipsaway for such a prominent position. Ask a "proper" bodyshop, they'll be far better placed to give you a meaningful answer than all the CS posts ever.

Doing a whole bonnet is a dodgy effort. If it's done well, fine, but you could just as easily wind up with a bonnet a different colour to the car. In which event, may as well just carbern wrap it :(

Good job you only need 2 of them then, every blue moon. If people are going to get hung up about running costs, then why isn't this CorsaSport12v.net

eeeeexactly. I need to pour £300 a year of paint and metal into Listerine to stop it turning brown everywhere. That's motoring. If you don't like the costs, get the bus.

Oh dear, you've become one of those lost causes.

1) What are RKRS 2) If your plan involves Jenveys on your Mk.2, then you're going to win very hard. a decade of chassis dev > pop-up lights :wink: ..... (even square ones, sorry)

You've already found the perfect Mk.1 ;)

you kids and your lightning mcqueer fantasies

MK2.5 3.5 or 4 Any of those will do you well. ;)

Possibly the best looking one you've had. Not keen on the roundels though. At the very least it would need a liveried wing One day, you'll get a proper 5 though ;)

The mileage may be about right for the year, but what @R-Sport Cars LTD is getting at is that there are lots of parts that will be tiring out and need spending on. Problem is, that colour, that edition, is perfect. Clios just went downhill afterwards. Besides, who's to say that any car you buy...

When I was but a young driver, I didn't appreciate my V5 Toledo as I should have done either. And went off to get an MX-5 So I know how you mean.

bloody hell! JoeyD is alive!?!? Long time no spotting of posts. :)
