much cheaper to spray them urself. but even if you buy new mirrors, you will still have to spray them as they are only primed. so go the cheaper route and do them urself.

what a picky mot. my cinq last year failed on a nut missing off the back of my headlamp but it didnt even move, they try to get money outta peeps that they think are clueless. brake line, yes i can see that as a failure but not a brand new tyre. i would complain to the boss about that or you can actually report it to the mot standards board. that is just a plain rip off merchant at work. also they ''fixed'' the gas analizer and it didnt work for the mot, well that would send alarm bells ringing with me.

Hi Joe, thats no problem dude and I am glad that I was able to help. Good thing that we both live down the same street eh? Yeah I will go out for a burn with ya, should be quite fun.

Very tidy looking car, its nice to see another 899 blue. My bro has the same colour. Is this still a 899 or had it had an engine change?

[STU?]

wud say just spray them yourself but make sure you get rid of the textured stuff on them sandpaper and filler primer would do so they nice and smooth for the colour to go on.

[floody]

Yep its still all stock 899cc, after a little while may convert to a 1108cc and induction.

[halfpint]

that is a must joe. you will be shocked by the difference after having an 899cc.

[charlie Fett]

I think you should uprate your engine to my spare 1108 engine. You can have it for £60 good price I think for the BHP gains. Give me a shout if you want it. The 1108 unit is a far more reliable engine than the 900. Plus you can do far more to them.

60 quid is a cheap up-grade mate..Go-4-It..Make it your spring project

[STU?]

i would do it for 60 pund like mate but insurance is a problem they dont like engine swaps for young lads thats if u wana tell them but i know to well now that accidents happen and insurances these days will try and get out of paying out if they can n with an engine swap they dont know about they would probs say its void. u could just buy it keep it untill ur insurance goes down like but it probs would be easyer just buying a sporting. not trying to put any1 off here . very good price tho 

[fullpint]

defo tell the insurance company..Perhaps just give them a call for an approx quote on the increase

I thought i had seen this car before.

I saw you drive past ikea in town 

Did you buy my shocks and springs from me of ebay and then got charlie to pick it up when he got his exhaust?

[floody]

Today I got a text from Floody saying that he had got his Sparco strut brace form Donna, so I went around to his once he finished work and installed his new mod on his 899 cinq. Here are a couple of pics of this finished result   you need to get some small Sparco stickers to stick on there Joe.

Wow charley we defo caught my car when its dirty hahah i need to giv it a good clean inside the engine bay. Put tht aside the strut looks brillaint and the peformance is completely changed. Thanks Donna 4 the part worked a treat. jus need to get the crappy 899 out of it.
