seems like a goot price considering. I've got 6 years NCB and am 24. No points. So should be around the same I guess.

 

[staceys3]

Yeah definately should get a good price but they originally quoted just over £900 and I went back and forth between them and green light (who also came in at a very good price) and knocked them down so is worth trying a couple and play them off a bit

Don't count on that - postcode seems to make a huge difference. I got my car, got insured for however much it was, moved in with my girlfriend a couple of months later and it went up about £240. Worst bit was, she only lived round the corner from me, postcode was almost exactly the same. Raging!

EDIT - sorry, don't mean to sound all doom and gloom, you might as easily get pleasantly surprised, just making the point that age, NCB, points and length of time you've held your licence are by no means the only factors.

Fair comment well made. I'm in a fairly low risk zone IMO. Let's see what they come back with.

Can't wait to see the wheels on mate, going to show off the brakes nicely. Fire some pics up asap!

I'm going to try Sky this year also. Mines up at the end of March.

Let us know how you get on mate.

Well they arrived today @ Lunchtime. Decided to get one out of the packaging which is very good I must say but then again it should be for the £.

Then decided I wanted to fit one to the car to make sure that they fit ok and clear the brakes... I'm glad to say they did.

Will be making sure they are well protected with a layer of wheel sealant before they go on the car for good.

Also had my 0awg cable rings arrive today so can finish the battery reloco.

I've also splashed out on something else! Will be going to collect it this weekend...

Got a lot to fit this weekend!!!

 

[t0m]

They look tidy mate! Very nice

Roll on the other purchase....

 

[james.l]

Will try and wheel the car out this weekend to get some pictures of them with the weight of the car pushing the suspension down. Looks a bit 'range rover' at the moment up on stilts.

That's cheap well cheap as I was looking at them for £1700-1800 unless the orange ones are more expensive , do they do differnt offsets etc as I'd go for et30 they would sit better in the arch

Yer I bid wheelbase and they took it. Think they do anything offset upwards from et25.
