  1. Stick a proper intro up in the intro section
  2. Cool. I've just found a photo of mine similar to Verma's to show it should (all in my own opinion) look:
  3. Are they really needed?? I know sarnie's going to say HELL YEAH!! Look how far your wheels are inside the wheel arches Nothing better than a proper aggressive offset, 20mm you need i'd say..... Look at how much my Volks looked from behind;
  4. CS, sell Verma some spacers QUICK!!!!!!!
  5. Are the wheels the 17" JDM's?
  6. Maybe......although I was at a Nissan dealers on Saturday. They had a 54 plate GT, azure with 24k miles which was on the forecourt at £12k. That came down to £11.5k within about 2 mins. I think if I handed them my switch card they'd have done it for £11k. And that's at a Nissan dealer. I'd imagine that when the realisation that a new one can be had for circa £20k, the used market will start to reflect this. I priced up several over the weekend and at the moment it's now cheaper to get into a new one on a decent PCP arrangement than it is to buy a cheap used one on standard finance. Scary! But £11k isn't £10k I think you'll find the reduction of the cost of new zeds will only affect zeds about two years old or younger. the older zeds e.g 53/54 will continue to hang around at the £10-£12k mark. Its 07 onwards cars that were trading around £17k-£20k+ that will feel the initial hit as who would buy an 07 when you can get a 09 for around £19k..........
  7. I got told that supplying my own (higher spec) oil and brake fluid would invalidate my warranty

    Good god how many times have we seen that picture
  10. Gonna struggle to get all that for £10k imo.
  11. One thing to take into account is that I'm sure with a vortech you can return the car to stock if needed which you can't with a TT..........
  12. Is that on the rear wheel arch. If so aren't those kind of double layered meaning that the usual Dent Tec guys can't actually get to the dent from the inside? I had a trolley ding right on the rear wheelarch and was tolf that it was impossible to get to from the inside.....
  13. Read my mind, I'm off down the local BCA which is only about 5 miles away. Will hopefully get an idea what stuff is selling for? You don't have to be trade to go to the BCA do you? How go you pay for the car? Full amount on the spot or what? there is a sellers fee for the bca...i think its a small % of the purchase price..not sure....but full amount should be paid as far as i know...unless you can contact the banks that are selling the leased cars and work out an arrangement with them outside the bca...bca has specific days for each bank and main dealer chains....so depending on what you want to look at..you will have to pop around often to scout the stock. I know RBS mostly finances mercedes...Lloyds (Black horse) is another major finance house on the auctions. Main dealers also auction part ex cars off the forecourt on specific days. its a good buy if you can sneak in a good price..be careful though. Quite a few private buyers are around pushing up the prices and traders dont like private buyers hanging around. Yeah I've just found that the BMW group have a day coming up with 500 cars so should be able to find something in that lot......... How do auctions works? Do they start at a guide price? Do they have reserves etc?
  14. I work from home so don't have anyone to annoy me. So I come here and annoy you lot

  16. I've just ordered a laptop and photo printer for the Mrs and can confirm that this code still works
