I think you mean "What's the point?".

Made the forum do what exactly? /pedantic grammar Nazi

Kinda what I was thinking. Obviously that ChipsAway guy (it's a franchise, remember) hasn't bothered to go and get the correct paint colour code as it's too much hassle for him, and he's used to people just going "Oh, that's close enough, it's only a Mondeo/Golf/generic shopping trolley car". Either he gets you the correct paint or you get your money back.

Any, do yourself a favour and take the car to Dixon down at DMS in Erith. He took a load of measurements for me when I was unsure about my car and totally put my mind at ease that there was nothing wrong structurally with it (there was nothing wrong in the end full stop, it turned out). Even if it costs you a couple of hours labour it'll be worth it.

Not sure if you're aware, but they're not Pilot Sport 2 tyres, they're the original Pilot Sport 1s. Might want to adjust your ad Shame really as otherwise I'd have had them off you for the tyres alone.

Ummm, surely there's no comparison between the two as they're completely different forms of FI? It's going to depend more on what you want the final car to feel like than simply the cost of sourcing bits between the two.

Now sold, good to meet you Alex and thanks for the painless purchase

What pads are you running?

Model: 2006 Revup Mods: Popcharger & ESR Y-pipe Dyno: Dyno Dynamics @ Surrey Rolling Road BHP: 291bhp at the flywheel - 240bhp at the wheels Torque: 260ft/lb at the flywheel - 212lb/ft at the wheels Utterly delighted with those results, and a very good basis should I decide to add a spacer, plenum & remap later in the year.

I'm not sure what's worse, the text on the advert or the car itself! Will AF not insure you?

How the hell you can miss THE VERY FIRST THREAD RIGHT AT THE TOP OF EVERY BLOODY FOR SALE FORUM is beyond me. There really is no excuse for it, and all this "Oh, but I'm so used to ignoring all that" holds no sway with me: We're all adults here, not children needing to be bloody spoon fed every last little bit of information. Mods, you have my sympathies over this issue.

Sold pending collection

Indeed it will.

If it had panel gaps on the bonnet like that one has, then yes. I could get my head in there!

It'll be as good as any other FM transmitter i.e. not very. Change the head unit and do it properly, you'll be glad you did.

Perhaps he's too busy with a tin of silver paint and a brush to get pics up just yet

Nah, OEM coolant is as cheap and as good as you'll find anywhere, and it's always a good idea to stick with what's in the system anyway.

Bump for final price reduction I would just like to add at this point that because this is the original ESR version of the exhaust, it DOES NOT suffer the same fitment issues/rattling as the later Japspeed ones. I had no trouble on my Roadster at all, even with the extra brace that it has.

Bump for price reduction Come on guys, this is now a serious bargain for anyone wanting to try these tyres out or just grab a spare set of wheels to use while you get your decent ones refurbed for the summer.

Should be able to buy bottles of coolant from any main dealer, certainly that's what I'd use.

Truth is though that someone could follow the rules perfectly but still be a complete arse and rip someone off, so whilst they help the vast majority of decent people they still won't stop the dodgy ones coming through: They just make it more difficult for them. FWIW I find the current rules to be pretty good (if a bit too thorough), but at the end of the day it's up to the seller to decide who he wants to sell to. It really is no more difficult than that.

Should be polish first then LP. LP is a wax pre-cleanser, it removes any stuff left before waxing, thus should be used after polish Also if the car is already swirl free, no need to polish, just use LP. Congratulations, you spotted my deliberate mistake! You win a prize!* *You don't win a prize, and I knew there was something about that list that didn't look correct when I wrote it! Cheers mate, will correct it now.

Wash using DJ Born To Be Mild shampoo Clay using Autoglym medium clay + detailer Wash using DJ BTBM again One use of Megs Stage 2 polish One use of DJ Lime Prime 2-3 coats of DJ Blue Velvet wax 1 coat of DJ Red Mist to seal & protect Obviously if the car is less dirty then I won't go as mad, usually just a wash and maybe a wax topup, but that's pretty much what I do twice a year right there. **EDIT** Because I forgot about the Red Mist. **EDIT 2** Because I'm still a tit.

Bargain, was offered £12.5K for mine against an '07 Exige recently... Same age and much less mileage than yours too!

Or just wait a few years: A 360 can now be had for £35K which is relative peanuts. Whether you can afford to run it if things start going wrong is another matter
