Are HID kits ok for use with Crystal Headlights?

Crap Got a phonecall earlier, its now CAT C how the hell do we get from where I was yesterday to this?

Yeah, im waiting for the engineers report to see if thats all that needs replacing. £1100 seems an awful lot for only a few parts so Im expecting a few surprises when i get that.

Hi guys My beloved 2000 Sport wagon has been deemed uneconomical to repair by Aplan/Markerstudy. Its a 2000 X reg in royal silver. 85,000 on the clock 17" New age WRX alloys 3.5" Hayward & Scott Stainless back box 2 new toyo T1-Rs on the front 5 weeks ago (typical) They are offering me £2,300 for it and I'm considering taking it as salvage, repairing it myself and running it as cat D. It only needs a new front bumper, drivers headlight, washerjet, fog light and grill. Plus a very small bend on the front edge of the bonnet needs straightening out. The back bumper needs repairing on the corner too, but thats not critical. The repair estimate from the approved repairer is coming in at £1,900 with £1,100 of that being parts!! (go figure) I looked at the adverts all over the place and to find one to replace her would cost me at least £2,500 plus the mods i put on her so more like £3,000. I've said I'm not happy with their valuation and they've asked me to prove what I think its worth by supplying details 10 private adverts. Problem is I cant find many private sports for sale. I can find plenty at dealers and they range from £1,800 to £4,200! Any ideas what I can do? Thanks David Actually, if I could find another sport that was as good as I think mine is and i could afford it, they can write mine off. I'll be sad to see it go, but at least I wont have to repair it.

good god man, that made me shed a tear, what an amzing sentiment!

BUMP, Come on guys you cant all afford to run your scoobs with out a second thought can you?

Thanks buddy!

I got an email off a mate yesterday about Pipeline Card. Its kinda like a company petrol card except its for the public. Theres nothing concrete on which petrol company is backing it, but it is expected to deliver a discount of between 5 and 10p off a litre of petrol. I wont bore you with all the details except to say its free to sign up to, there is a strict no spam policy, it has backing from the likes of The Times and The Guardian and we've got nothing to lose. Some people out there are saying its a scam, but they're just cynics its not doing any harm. Go To http://www.pipelinecard.org Have a look round check out the endorsements and sign up if you want to and pass the message on, the more people that sign up the better it will be long term. Cheers David
