One of the clips on the black surround of my headunit has broken off. Does anybody know what these are exactly called or where I can get another. This is a pic highlighting the part I mean:

i have everything in the image but the multicoloured wires behind

I bought an Alpine X200 headunit second hand, i have the usb cable, headunit, the headunit back box. In my standard headunit there are 4 plugs which go into the back of it, is there some sort of connector I need to plug these 4 wires into then into the back box?

okay cheers mate!

Anyone know where I can buy an Alpine X200 cheap. Apparently theyve been discontinued by Alpine, I prefer the blue X200 to the green X300 though.

went on holiday for a week to spain, just got back expecting to have trouble with starting the car. no problems at all! maybe this is just a randomly occuring problem, not a major one?

it's a 1.2 engine

okay i'll give that a go you experienced it before or something?

To get it started? It does start after a while using the starter motor, just isn't very reliable.

The battery seems fine though, on my mates car when the battery was dead the interior lights dimmed etc. when he turned the key. The motor is fine when it actually attempts to work, it just doesnt turn on sometimes. Maybe a loose connection?

When I leave my car for a day or more without starting it up, when I go to start it and turn the ignition; I hear a clicking noise, the clock flashes on and off and the starter motor doesn't start. After a few attempts of turning the ignition with the problem mentioned above occuring, the...

Yeah, cheers mate!

Hi, Could someone walk me through the removal and fitting of new airbag strips. It may be alot simpler than I think; I just have a bad suspicion that the passenger airbag will go off if I just pull off the old strip :approve: Cheers

I guess with these you have to cut it out yourself though?

Hi, Just want to know people's opinions on smoking the lights (and how to do it; using smoking spray?) Does anyone have any pics of theirs smoked? Also, what are your thoughts on clear side repeaters?

Where can you buy velcro pads from? Halfrauds?

Do you think there's a high chance of getting pulled then?

Yeah they definately look better than standard! Do you know what the law says about them?

Yeah I was thinking the same, just wanted to check what anyone else has done. You going to get the plates?

Just read the guide for getting a 3/4 height normal width number plate. Should I get the same size front and back or just thinner on front plate and standard size rear plate? Cheers

Ok cheers guys, so just sand til smooth, primer x 2 and fine sand then spray paint x 3 and fine sand?

I have a nautical blue 1.2 Clio and want to spray the black door trim etc. 1. Can I spray over the original black plastic to have the same smooth effect as on the body of my car? 2. I want to spray the door bullets to the same silver colour as the CS bullets, does anyone know what colour...

Yeah, I'll give them a ring to see how much it's gonna cost to put the kit on. If its ridiculous money then I'll just have to put it on without declaring it, otherwise the extra £20 or so on insurance won't bother me.

Haha thats what I thought mate! What would you expect the premium to go up by, more than the value of the induction kit itself?

Yeah true. I'll give them a ring to see how much extra it costs and try slipping in the fact it doesnt give a power increase, see what they say. What do you think they could charge if they realise the kits are "supposed" to give an extra 5bhp?

Should I ring them and tell them it has no power increase? Will an itg panel filter give a good sound?

Hi, Just bought a new K&N 57i Induction Kit, just before I call them to tell them I have fitted it, I was wondering how much it could put up my insurance premium if I was to claim it? (Obviously every insurance company is different but what would you expect?) Thanks
