yeah its horrible when its not even your own fault, how come your insurance had to pay out for thee parked car?

Because as far as they are concerned i hit that car and that's that,regardless of whether it was my fault or not at the end of the day i caused the damage and the 4x4 just drove off so i didnt want the police coming after me for insurance details etc for this car i hit so i went and exchanged details with the owner of it.

ahh right, i wouldnt mind an FR after ive had mine for a year or so, ive just got a little 1.2 12v 3cylinder lol, i guess yours is a 4potter?

no no same engine as yours lol i love my little ibiza to bits but i just want something with a bit more poke, hence why i want an FR...same chassis just bigger engine:D.

i've had the car since last april and my 18th is coming up soon so really it all depends on how much i can get for mine after the war wounds are patched up and whether or not i can get a decent insurance rate.

Parkers say that my model with 40k on the clock is worth £3500ish.its only got 38k on the clock and i've had a lot of interest in it from people at college so heres hoping lol

sounds dead good mate, you got any pictures you can upload? ive just put some BBS montreal rims on mine, they are a 17" so have to be carefull on speed bumps etc lol
 

Housey

Guest
i've got loads lol i just don't know how to upload them onto this haha.

BBS...nice ;) how much did they set you back?where did you get them?
 

Housey

Guest
WHAT?!

thats crazy! lol what a bargain!
you planning on doing anything else?

well obviously a new backbox would help but then you would need to cut the bumper, unless u bought the FR bumper/splitter.have you thought about a new air filter? that would give the little 3 cylinder a roar without having to cut anything away and also it still looks standard from the outside ;)
