So pretty much, at night take your front plate off. Most are on dual carriageways, and even if a passing policeman spots it missing you'll be going far too fast for them to catch up with you. Isnt that right Rich...?

My my. How can people be so stupid. I could forgive Welsho for sticking screenwash instead of anti-freeze, but a sock instead of a filler cap. Surely I've now heard it all...

You know when people type "LOL" but you know they really are'nt laughing out loud. I actually fell off my seat laughing at that post. Why would you think THAT was a good idea!?

Thought exactly the same thing. Saying that, the decals would'nt put me off because it looks in very good condition. Break the hairdryer out and take the stickers off! Just realised that the God awful WR1 is on that site!

They have infra red illumination, so the answer would be yes. They do work at night mate.

Thats the same colour as discussed from the paint shop Rich.

I didnt think they done that on site but outsourced. Could be wrong though...

HAHA "Is this a piss take" Less help and more slating on that forum. People need to be told when they've been a knob. In all fairness though, crap design with the set screw and nut. Surely a spring washer would've helped a bit. Thats why they should all be plastic!!

Stonechip dings from generally driving took the coating off in clumps rather than layers, like painting would do. I'm not dissing Chameleon at all because they do very good work and a lot of members are using them, but personally I now have my wheels painted as I feel the finish is second to none and you can have it done on your doorstep. Why do we not have powdercoated cars if its so cheap and durable...?

I've seen these on a white model and I have to say mate, you've mad the right choice. Good to see you getting the lights out and doing it properly, rather than it hingin' off and stuck partially on the wing!

These were mine painted And a previous car powdercoated I know you cant see very well, but the painted wheels had a far superior finish to them. I did pay more but in my opinion it was really worth it. Looking closely at the Kei's on my Megane I could still see the bare alloy colour through the white. They were done by Chameleon. With powdercoating I found that when it did chip it came away in sort of clumps down to the metal rather than layers if that makes sense. I suppose powdercoating and painting have their own application characterisitics, just depends what your looking for out of them.

Re-Post! But yeah I think someones at the windup!

Paints a funny thing. Does nice new shiny paint show a well looked after car, or does it hide an old problem or issue!? Drive the car, feel if the gearbox is still toyt like a toyger and if there's any play in the steering etc etc... Buying a used car especially cars like these are a huge gamble. I usually take someone else who's keen on car's with me. I'm an Ag mechanic so I know a certain amount, but its always good to have someone else there just incase I'm either being a perfectionist or a numpty.

I've had a good few quick Clio's including a very special old skool Dimma. Very chuckable and make you grin, what hot hatch does'nt!?

I really dont know what the fuss is all about...

HAHA makes you really think doesnt it. Aberdonians are travelling really far these days to try other countries cuisine...

Exhaust rubber?

Make sure insurance, bank account etc doesnt already cover. You find a lot give it as standard.

The STi is faster off the mark but is the GB270 not better in the bends or am I just talking nonsense. Im looking at those models as well so I'm still learning.

RB5's are in my opinion are the best of the UK bunch as far as looks go, apart from the P1. I'm pointing fingers at the numpties who look like they've crashed their car right through Halfords front window and reversed out with the styling department attached. Every person who has defended that car has done it for a reason, but not one has been because it looks good. Braveheart has a highly modified exterior on his Scoob which isnt my cup of tea, but thats not to say I dont appreciate the work and effort that has gone into it. I also know its a very well looked after car from his posts on here so it says to me he aint the chavvy type to drive up and down the road like a fanny outside my house at 4 in the morning. The car posted definately 110% is that type of car I see in the "How many bams can we fit in 1 car" competition in Glasgow City Centre at the weekend. I was crashed into and nearly killed by idiots like that so excuse my stereotypical view on it.

I did think mate, but when you said about the decals being left on I knew you were at it! haha

Holy crap, the further up Scotland you go the more expensive it becomes. I feel sorry for those in Orkney who will be scrambling to buy it at a mere 15k!

Sent you a goat

There are Turbo's in this colour, although i've only ever seen it in Type R form.

I never slagged anyone, what I said in my opinion, is that he's wasted a good car. Where's the slagging in that. Forum's have views and opinions. I gave mine which is, the car looks ****e and you gave yours which is the car looks good.
