When I wrote my celica off, they asked about the front splitter and skirts despite them being oe from factory. I'd declared them anyway, but talking to the insurers I got the impression that non declaration would mean they would pay or for a factory spec car. As it was I got cover for the car as well as the mods. It was flood/ water damage for me.

With the facelift ones he needs you to send them to him for wrapping and he'll send them back. When I did mine I bought a set off ebay and had them sent to him, then sold my old ones to covr the cost.

To me it sounds like a worn clutch that is starting to slip. As above though, are you lifting the clutch quickly, or feathering it? If feathering i'd say its normal, I often do it with my diesel daily when in traffic.

1.6 diesel Astra for me. 16 plate. It's got cruise control and Bluetooth and the full nav pack. We took it too Newquay in summer and did 72mpg at 75mpg fill of holiday clothes and family. It pulls well, but whenever I get back in the zed I can't help but exclaim oohh yes.

It's great that a lot of you want a calender, and the quality is ace and well worth it, but @SuperStu could do with some more entries otherwise there'll be no calendar. Your car doesn't need to be an immaculate show car, god knows mine made it in last year . Send him your best shots. It makes having it even better when you make it in. If you have autumn or winter shots, it'll increase your odds.

How many more picture do you want/need Stu?

There are some absolute monsters in time attack. Very deep pockets

Cappuccino, with a hayabusa engine.

The left/right fuse thing is normal on French cars... annoying but normal.

My old Astra SRi had a sport button, and that's all that did.

Round may way, super is cheaper than diesel. Still not allowed to use the zed as a daily though.

I quite like it. It feels like a bridge between the mk4 and the concept, but i think it works. I agree with silver being a poor choice of colour though.

I imagine the plate will be on a zed like plinth. Also, I love that blue.

Also, I like most of you on this forum (not met everyone), no matter political, religious etc views. You've all helped me with my zed and we've had interesting discussions of various topics. Can we not get so personal on this thread please? By all means throw internet findings at each other, but no mud slinging.

I disagree with war comments. It wasn't us against all of Europe. It was half of Europe against half of Europe. We won by uniting. Edit: I'm well aware rest of the world was involved.

It is like watching a novis play chess thinking about the next move. If I was eu and we're going to use gb as an example unto others, allow a no deal. Watch us start trade with row. At next g8 impose a carbon footprint tax where distance travelled is even more heavily penalised. It'll pass because it's hipster and green. How would we afford that? Canada and aus don't care, we're not their neighbour, or their biggest trade partner.

Hey you cannee teck the quinn to tha pub.

Pretty sure comparing China is pointless, they manufacture there own rip off EU cars.https://www-independent-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.independent.co.uk/life-style/motoring/features/chinese-copycat-cars-can-you-spot-the-western-inspiration-behind-these-designs-a7015966.html?amp=&usqp=mq331AQECAFYAQ%3D%3D&amp_js_v=0.1#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From %1%24s Hong Kong however would be different...

So we're getting a divorce but have children with shared custody?!?

Nice. I need to sort my Y pipe out as that started blowing, but I've taken mine off the road for winter (company car) and the mot isn't until September. Also one of my cooling fans has decided it doesn't want to play any more so I have that to play with. That and some tidying up jobs, wiper arms, interior trim and maybe colour code door handles. I'm tempted to wrap headlights too before spring. Zeditis never ends

I'm surprised at the short fall, I was giddy when mine was in last year. Are there are more people buying than sending?

Yeah I've seen the same. Lots of; This is a terrible deal...but I don't have one better.

Will they renegotiate though? Everything I've read points to no.

When I got my exhaust, I spent a few months trawling youtube for what I wanted/could afford. I went for Cobra resonated in the end, I find I can drive sensibly and talk to my wife (booo)/have the stereo on the quietest settings and still hear it/her, but love the sound when I plant my foot to the floor. Fitment is usually pretty good on cobra too, Japspeed can be a little rough to fit.
