AMS GT front is a yes but I'm biased as thats what I went for. I really don't like how the AMS GT rear looks on the 350, looks ace on the 370 but for some reason looks kinda weird on the 350. Rear is ok, there isn't much choices for rear bumpers on the 350 so thats why a lot of people end up with the Chargespeed one as the others are all rubbish

Very Philosophical Dan I know there has been hate for 0-60 but I am that guy who loves a 0-60 stat Yes I am pr!ck found a semi decent app on android called car performance that measures 0-60 times. Downloaded it last night while in my mates 3.2 TT MK2, tells you the speed you are doing at any given time which we checked and it was pretty accurate. You come to a complete halt and get the timer ready, obviously uses the GPS on your phone. You hit start but the timer will only start as soon as you start moving. Timed my mates car at 6.1 seconds to 60, given the ground was wet and the stated time was 5.9 its a fairly good measure I think. It also calculates the quarter mile but obviously, which has been pointed out here: 0-60 isn't a good indication of 60-100. Still a cool app IMO.

Pretty sure GMballistic has them, but i might be wrong. He will be along if he has

The V2 does look a lot better on your car than the V3

When I first put my alloys on the spacers were far too big, but not as far out as that. On the motorway going over a bump you would see a puff of smoke coming out the rear arch. Not a nice sight when you know your archs are burning MPSS I do really like them though, I would be having a look at arch rolling and coilovers next

shouldnt he have checked his documents tho and noticed no mods declared ? He never lossed out, the girl got the sack and Kwik fit had to foot the bill as they aren't an underwritter so the company who was underwritting the policy wouldn't have insured him in the first place. I am surprised she was lucky to just loss her job as I would imagine it would have cost the company quite a lot!

+1 on Admiral, I have been with them for the last 4 years as they are half decent with mods. I actually went with them for my new car even though there was cheaper options as I know I was going to be adding mods on during the policy. I used to work for Kwik fit insurance when I was 18, I believe if you crash and have mods you didn't advise them at the time. The insurer would check what the price would be if you had told them. If it was £100 more then you would owe them that. If they wouldn't have quoted you in the first place then you could be in bother. When I started one of the girls who went through training with me was selling for fun. Head and shoulders above the rest of the team. One day she got called away from her desk and sacked on the spot. Guy had called and told her that he had £12K worth of modifications on his car and listed them all. She decided not to bother putting them on the system so she could get the price cheaper and the guy took it. 2 months later he crashed, they can obviously go and listen to the original call which they did. Ouch!

Is it possible to have the splitter on the v2 completely flush with the bumper? That would make a difference IMO. Did you look at the 370 amuse gt front bumper?

Just like the guy asking what a redline was Ioneabee,I'm from the place where how means why. Broken English would be kind

You guys have all went soft. 3 months ago and this would have been 10 pages of flaming

It really varies as the zed isn't the worst car to use as a daily. Mine had 40K when I got it, 5000 per year. And I put 25K on it in under 2 years.

I love it mate, the only thing that wont be as wow is the V2 front, I like the V2 front but the squarish front splitter doesn't flow with the rest of the car IMO. V3 would flow better but again the V3 front isn't to everyones taste. Either way its a cracking car

I agree with the sentiment but "burn it with fire" what else wound you use a hot cup of teaDamn sorry was supposed to be one of my new year resolutions less sarcasm failed again You could wait for a really hot day a get a massive magnifying glass and aim it at it. More of a sunburn but burn never the less

That would be over the full term, but what if you pay the loan off after 1 month, surely the interest you actually owed would be re-calculated on the basis of you only borrowed the cash for 1 month rather than the full term? Id expect some sort of "early repayment" penalty, but maybe not you forgo the interest paid for the full term. Not sure is the honest answer, I would imagine it would be a much more favourable sum after 1 month than after 1 year. I normally settle around 2 the 2 year mark, I have been £500 in negative equity with one and £500 in the green with the zed.

You do need to watch with tinting lights as my mate has been done for it. I had flyeye front and back on my zed, few people were surprised how well it turned out. few pictures in my build thread. going back I would have left the front lights and just tinted the back ones. Got the rear light clusters done at the same time.

I saw the first thumbnail picture and thought, wouldn't mind that myself. Then I saw it in all its glory. That is F**king revolting, looks made out of plado. the side skirts looks like he fitted them while having an epileptic fit. The engine spec sounded pretty nice but I very much doubt anyone would spend all that money on a brand new twin turbo v8 and crawl it up the road after all that hard work.

Seems a bit odd, cant imagine a tyre fitter at kwik fit is making too much money and is keen to fork out for 2 brand new alloys in January. Very odd. Either way I hope you get it sorted, modding is supposed to be a good experience after you have got over the shock of the money you have just spend Once they're on and you give the car a clean I am sure you will forget all about it

Ive heard that before, but I have never understood that. Surely they wont know how much total interest you will owe until you have finally paid it off. I (maybe too sensibly) thought it was worked out monthly based upon what you have left to pay. I know on my mortgage it used to be £500 a month and £300 of that was interest, and £200 went off the capital. At the end of each year I had a statement showing that id cleared £x amount of the capital and £x was paid interest. I dont ever recall a statement showing that for year X id paid no interest and all it went off capital. Sensible in the finance companies favour Again from just looking at my own agreements I have taken, the interest is calculated at the start of the agreement. So the car you're buying is £14K but you are actually borrowing more like £16K. So from day one you owe £2K more than the car is worth.

Is gap insurance no just to cover the "GAP" between market value and negative equity. I doub't they would say, while you have cleared your finance here is an extra coupld of thousand :s

The problem is the first year you are only paying the interest. So effectively you could be paying your loan 4 years early but it wont matter as you haven't really reduced the amount you owe. Unless your car has increased in value then you will have some negative equity.

Its not something you think about or hear about, people being left with a few £Ks to find to clear the finance. Pretty harsh when you think you could be in an a non fault accident and then left trying to find money to clear your finance. You would imagine there would have to be some sort of notice sent from the finance to advise when the loan should be cleared by.

Found this, not sure if its a fact thought. If you crash your car and there is still finance left to pay on the vehicle you may be in negative equity if the amount that your insurance company pays out does not cover the amount left on the finance. Whilst you are able to continue to pay off the monthly repayments as per your car finance agreement, many people would rather choose to settle the finance early, thus allowing them to take out another car finance policy for a new vehicle. There are specific insurance products that are available when you take out car finance with Creditplus that can cover this cost such a GAP and RTI insurance.

The moral being dont crash in your first year

Agree with Glrnet, value and period of time you're paying it. A car that has already had the major drops in value that you're paying up over 3 years, you probably wouldn't need it. If you bought a brand new car with a small deposit and paying over 5 years then you could find the insurance company giving you quite a bit less than you owe the finance company.

Martin the guy in Wishaw who done my front bumper would sort any fitment problems. Good buy
