Mine was done when I imported it and reset to the right miles. Jurgen at JM Imports organised it. You could try him for advice.

Hey Immy you've nearly got as many posts as me and I've been AWOL for two years! Hope you're good!!

Grundy was right! HERS is nemo! :-) (Despite the sig) ;-)

God are still here too??? I need it get a new job with more internet time!!

I had mine done by a professional for £30. However I had made a right mess of them myself first.......

Flashed and waved tea time today :-)

Too right! Haha

Oh it's too late now. I'm hurt! Haha.

Think the wheels were different but could have been!! I thought of the colour as blonde! Where's he from? My neck of the woods? Oh and where has my birthday gone? Am I erased???? í ½í¸œ

I spotted this yesterday while in a work fiesta on my way to the Humber bridge. A modders dream car and looked well nice if you like modded cars. Unusual pale gold colour.

It might be time to bring the banger to Wales one more time..... Just need to check with work as we have the biggest event of the year on a Sunday during May bank holiday but I can't remember if it's early bank hol or late. EVERYONE has to work it - therefore having your whole weekend ruined! Watch this space!

Don't know why I'm so scared! I would rather change a wheel!

My car has been in the garage for three weeks after having a winter detail and wax. I've been driving my Clio while its been wet and dirty outside! This is the longest I've not driven it for and the first time ever the battery is dead! Call me paranoid but is it ok just to jump start it? I've heard all sorts of dodgy tales about imobilisers etc! I was thinking about buying a trickle charger - any advice? Do I need to disconnect the battery to use one of those? Happy Xmas by the way everyone!

There is something relaxing about having a banger in winter and not worrying about the weather!

My home to work used to take me an hour but was very flat so driving with care snow etc never bothered me. My home to work is now ten minutes.............up a great big stonking hill that even front wheel drive traffic struggles with in snow. I also own a Renault Clio diesel which I bought to save money on the long commute and kept to survive through winter on the now short commute! However, the cost of running two cars is becoming a pain. This month both cars needed taxing, the clio conked out and needed an alternator, the clio also needs an MOT and new brake discs. It's getting a bit daft maintaining two cars and I'm starting to wonder whether I would be better off with winter tyres instead of a second car but I really have no idea whether they are as good as people say! Anyone have any experience?

6 and a half for me! And I echo exactly what Pimm said! I can't think of anything I would enjoy better without spending a fortune I don't have. I still turn and look every time I park!

How amazing! I had a huge crush on him!

What a shame! One of my all time favourite childhood TV programmes with the Capri he drove being one of my 'must have' cars as a kid. By the time I was old enough to drive the capri had been and gone! Now its a retro item! RIP Mr Collins - you inspired me to 'drive it like I stole it'

How bizarre I decided to drop in again too! We must be bored!

Enjoy Yorkshire! If they let you in!

Insurance is fractions more if at all, hardly worth worrying about. So much talk on here about jdms being difficult to shift, yet every week (almost) someone asks about buying a jdm (two this week inc yours), check the classifieds for what have sold and what havent, you can do an advanced search on ebay to see what has actually sold and for how much, advanced on search options to left of ebay search bar. Stereo, most people replace the Bose for double din so that renders the sat nav point mute. The only thing i would ever be wanting is Brembos (which you can get on some jdm), dont be put off by jdms, buy the car which is in the best condition and suits your requirements best for the money you have, you will have no trouble selling a jdm Well said. My advice would be to ignore the UK or JDM issue completely! Buy the best car you can afford for the money with the best spec and the best history. I imported my car direct from Japan seven years ago with £2k miles on the clock. It was version S which is 'sport' which meant it had brembos and cloth seats. It was immaculate and clearly someones weekend car. I had all the SVA stuff done, undersealed, foglight conversion (properly not bolt on) and had the seats changed to black leather with orange trim which look fantastic. After all that I still saved a packet over buying in the UK at the time. The cars are ALL THE SAME bar spec items. However, they are ten a penny in auction in Japan due to their crazy 3 year ownership laws so the market gets flooded with three year old cars. For an 'older' car I am certain that my car is probably one of the best looked after examples there is and would be head and shoulders above a lot of cars in it's price range UK or JDM. Just look for the best example you can find with the spec you want and don't worry.

yeah, mines stuck straight onto the bumper as well

Sorry to hijack this thread but limp mode as you describe is what has happened to me twice now in the last month. Second time I had just come off a roundabout and the car lost power, loads of dash lights came on and the car wouldn't go faster than about 10mph I had to pull over onto the grass verge with hazzards on while I stopped and started again!

Thanks to ChrisS for sending me the touch up paint - best members on the best forum as ever!!!

Hey Immy, hope you're well - Long time no see!! Yep it's all work eat sleep at the minute!
