I guess it's a bit hit and miss with these things. My Do-Luck fitted perfectly and has completely perfect gaps all round - but that was an original.

One of your sensors is either blocked, bust or has a connection issue. Mine went like that after a kind lady drove into one of the sensors. My personal opinion is to get rid of them altogether

I hit a badger at full dual carriageway speeds about a year and a half ago. Badger was split in two with steaming bits everywhere and was an absolutely huge one. The car didn't suffer a single scratch. I have absolutely no idea how that happened and how I managed to get away with no damage whatsoever. Could be that the speed was high enough for the car to just pierce the poor animal rather than have a blunt impact.

I haven't heard of any cases of zeds running away and going feral...

A lot of people have travelled far to get their optimal car. The drive back makes the experience 100 times better as well

And when said Micra has an accident? Accidents are recorded against people rather than vehicles in this rather weird country. As you won't ever drive it, you are highly unlikely to crash it. Fair enough just wondered, also as it is already insured how does that work? There has to be a 'but' somewhere there always is even with the most cunning of plans.... Say the other person decides to run the car uninsured and you have it insured and they crash it? When you buy a car off someone, you go and get yourself an insurance policy and that car on the day you pick it up has two completely separate insurance policies on it at the same time for different people. Completely legal and clean as long as you do not lie about ownership status if you do not actually purchase the vehicle. There is nothing stopping you buying your own insurance on a friend's/relative's/any car you wish on the premise that you think there might be a time when you would have to drive it. There's nothing stopping you going and buying yourself insurance on a Ferrari you saw on TV as long as you have over the money. I've seen it done before (although it will not work in most cases price-wise) where buying two policies can be cheaper than one on its own

Play around with quotes online and note this awesome fact: Sometimes buying a multicar policy can be cheaper than buying a single one and is fully legal. Find some old micra or some equally rubbish car, be clear that you are not the owner or the registered keeper or the main driver and see if you can beat your single car quote

Realistically, you have a choice of two companies at your age: Sky Insurance (trader on here) or the Admiral Group (Bell, Admiral, Elephant, Diamond, yada yada).

Out of interest, how much do these go for as while I am more skint than a homeless unemployed beggar being mugged of a week's worth of coins on a rainy day at the moment, things might actually be different next month?

Really? I thought it looked like a blind Albanian welder had put it together? Or Rik...

Exactly. I've got a 285 on my Rota GTRs which are 10 wide at the rear and these sit perfectly flush. Aside from the fact that those 12'' wheels stick out proper barryboy style (and are in fact illegal in doing so), a wheel which is 2 inches wider really ought to have slightly wider tyres on it. The fact that many tyre manufacturers specifically state that 285 tyres must only be fitted to a maximum width of 11 inches must surely also be a factor. But then again, each to their own.

I get this a fair bit and my approach has recently been to do an extremely sarcastic fake yawn which on most occasions is a prelude for a barrage of abuse and anger from the saxo crammed with 5 teenagers which never fails to amuse me. I then pull away gently and let the idiots do whatever it is that they fancy doing.

Congratz and +1 on the corners - I wouldn't have expected the splits to look like that.

Horses for courses, but that width + that stretch looks utterly chavtastic to me.

Is this in-store as well as the "reserve and collect"?

I like a coupe. Nice big rounded bonnet, fairly trim and not too much in the middle and a shapely back.

There are bridges all the way across... (from mainland Europe to Sweden that is)

A little off topic for which I apologise, but I once bought an epic air rifle which shot little hard plastic or metal pellets and could easily kill a bird of a decent size from around 20 yards. Unfortunately that purchase was made in the souvenir shop of Moscow's World War 2 Museum for the grand price of £3 about 15 years ago, so not much help.

Is it just me or are 12j GTR-D going to seriously stick out barryboy style? (their offsets must be more extreme due to the deep dish or is that just me?)

This is what I want [but need mucho dinero]
