Got mine sorted today. All mods declared really good service many thanks to prestige

all being well will try and get along

Spent 8 hours today getting the black crud off then washing and waxing. Scary when thats more time in one day than I've spent cleaning my last 4 cars over nearly 5 years. I forgot how much I actually like the smell of auto glym Used a bot load of tar remover and two old loyalty cards to get all the gunk off mmm shiny There aint much space in the back yard so the dog kennel had to be put to one side And I've got a name for it now. Introducing Nudge Need to get those other two alloys done I think Opinions?

thats the back done Got the bump stips off but then decided it was gonna rain so had to stop there. Still need to get all the sticky crud off the sides

whoops I may have just accidentally ordered a K&N as well

VIC passed Currently busy with the heat gun removing the bump strips etc Going to treat myself to some pressed pressed plates as well

Well VIC's paid for and booked in on Thursday next week Already put my mk2 sirroco wheels on Once I'm through the VIC will be sorting the insurance , tax then ordering some coilovers as a bit of a treat plus possibly giving the car a name Wish me luck

nice That will be my max budget I think if I go that way which pretty sure will happen sooner or later if my lass allows me to have the bankcard for 5 minutes

Cant wait to see the lo's when it happens Thinking I'll be going the same way myself. Mind if I ask how much the coilovers were?

Depends what you want I suppose.

Nice one cheers

Nothing really to update the last couple of weeks due to lack of funds amongst other things Well applied for the VIC and spoke to VOSA today to be told they are working about a week behind Gave the car a wash yesterday and hovered out the interior. I've been driving rat styled cars the last 5 years or so and never bothered about washing or cleaning at all unless you count emptying out old mcdonalds cartons etc Looking at a couple of induction kits on ebay atm I know it probably wont add to power/performance at all and in a toss up between ramair K&N and pipercross. Ramair being the cheapest but K&N being the better name in my experience.

Can anyone recommend a company for pressed plates? Checked ebay and seems most of the compaines on there dont do legal UK ones as they are in German font Thanks in advance

ok so at the moment my cars standard (its a cat C pending a VIC) I'm 39 with 2 years NCB and living in a NE29 post code. Been quoted about £60 a month on fully comp on a 1.4 16V pretty sure its 2001 can you beat it? If you think you can then may give you a shot but if not then will stay where I am. Know the info is limited but I work in a call center and hate having to call other call centers. Last thing you want to do after being on the phone all day is go on the phone again.

Nice one cheers

Having an issue with my boot lock Key goes in and turns but its like the mechanism doesnt engage and the key just rotates. Couple of questions: How can I get the boot open?Any idea what it could be?Am I looking at having to get a new lock mechanism?Any help apreachiated Cheers

Nice. If I had know that would of asked for discount

Best cover I've had was a couple of years back with Britania breakdown. Used the AA before that until they left my ex-wife and kids stranded in Northumberland in 5 ft of snow and freezing tempritures for 6 hours Not sure how good they are now but always found them to be with me inside 45 minutes and no messing about. This is going back a few years when I used to run offroad mod'ed land rovers and they would always turn up with a flat bed as soon as told them it was a 4x4 and no messing about with small vans etc

Cheers wont be till after the weekend now tho as mad busy with work etc etc Thats a new one on me. As far as I know as long as youve made the insurance company aware its a former write off and its been checked to be safe and roadworthy if you do need to claim there's no reason it should be tricky. Saying that I generaly dont claim on insurance. I normaly let a solicitor sort it out. Why screw your insurance by having to declare a claim if its the other guys fault? Granted if you have to make a claim gainst say your car being stolen etc then yeah you gotta do it

was going to ask where you are but then saw the "reet oot" on your info so that kind of gives it away. There's an almost compleat 1lr soft blue in a yard up at Burnopfield if you didnt know as I had a fair part of the front end. Pretty sure the engines blown on that one though

Cheers If I send you my info can you get me a quote?

Cheers Had words with the DVLA yesterday to check a few details and got the vechicle status info. They havce the V5 and will send it out once the VIC's been sorted Will need to get the VIC(vehcile identity check) done which is going to set me back £41 Get it taxed My insurance company say they can cover it once the VIC's been done Once I get all that sorted think I'll be starting to a few mods

So spent the day finishing off and here we go... (excuse the pants picture) Just need to sort the arch liner on the passenger side where it attaches to the bumper give it a good clean inside and out. Cant afford the vosa check now till payday and its killin me. I want to be out in me new car

minty cheers. Spoke to VOSA today and was told its just a VIC and its £41 Spoken to my insurance company and they'll happily cover it sub to to the VIC and will only put my premium up a tenner a month. Also got the insurance report and its deffinatly a Cat C
