I suspect it went into this guys pocket that owns a green 19 valver hatch . . heh.

I think i could have said that better, i did have a 16S badge on the hatch at FCS which then later got stolen off the back of the car about a week or so after FCS.

It did not get stolen at FCS which is (upon reading it) what my original post seems to imply.

Your first parking dint is going to BLEED!!

Make sure she's insured fully comp and maybe get an agreed value policy, thats the only way your not going to end up with a cheque for £500 if it gets totalled or get written off because of a minor bump.

12 years old, soon be able ot get a classic insurance policy for it!?

i know what you mean addie,even before the respray i used to hate leaving it anywhere Twisted Evil i was under the impression that the 19 hasa fairway to go before being seen as a classic?whats the age

Chris H:i know it looks like any other,didnt want it looking just freshly resprayed if you know what i mean..just a clean honest example..even my manager didnt notice when i had it done until i pointed put the stonechips etc not being there Razz

tominbristol,the french touches is all i have done mate,plates and badge, wanted to maintain the standard looks,and the side repeaters were a must!!orange ones look cack.ditched the stainless steel and k&n and replaced them with originals.cd player will be going soon to be replaced by the standard cassette player Laughing aswell as a changer.

Current mods:NONE Laughing Laughing

depends on what head unit you have.

if its able to connect to a cd changer there will be a socket at the back of the headunit for it to plug into plus the headunit itself would have either a src button or cd button on the front of it so you can change to cd mode.

hmm thanks guys i dont think the deck has a cd or src button Evil or Very Mad

but has the plug in thing that chris is on about.
if theres no way round it might have to put the cd player back in.. just wanted it in cos it would have ALL been standard Mad

as for the illumination..there is none..but when the lights are on the decks illumination comes on too??not complaining as i got it for next to nothing(thanks again ash) Wink
