It's not their fault????????????? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Before I even clicked on the link I just knew it would be in Birmingham. We have big problem in Birmingham with this........

Thanks for that but I'm primarily a Mortgage Broker. The OP needs a dedicated IFA

*facepalm*

Jay, She didn't actually need to be so underhand. Google 'keylogger'. She could have just downloaded this and got your passwords without you having told her or her setting up secret questions etc. I have no idea how I know this information

Is that rust????

Is there any way of seeing if a PM has been read by the recipient like the old site used to?

+1 Like Ricey, I'm struggling to see exactly where any significant savings would be made. Especially as 57 plate Clio is going to be depreciating like a stone still............

Great news this is

If you charge people, your a business. Whether officially or not. Unless your a charity and doing it out of the goodness of your heart?? You may very well provide a better standard of finish than other so called professionals but that doesn't mean you can charge the same as them. People like Tarmac, RT Biscuit & Husky have started by doing a few things as favours on here to test the water and most likely did for free/at cost initially. Then once they had numerous satisfied clients they were able to build on this reputation to become successful Member traders. If your as good as you say you are then I have no doubt that you will be successful it's just that some of your responses worry me, especially with regards to indemnity insurance and your intentions to charge the same as as established company. I reckon my Sausage & Mash is better than Jamie Oliver's that doesn't mean I can start knocking it up in my kitchen and flogging it to passers by for £40 a pop.......... I wish you good luck, I really do. Unfortunately most start up business' fail within the first 18 months due to starting off on the wrong tracks. My points are mean't to be constructive and hopefully it's taken that way

How much for a 350 in just a standard wrap i.e. solid colour Still browsing through prices at the moment, dont want to do silly price like some garages. The ones ive been to is about 1,5-2k and their job was absolutely w**k, so i'd be most likely doing the same price for better finish as the customer should be getting. If people are looking at getting car wrapped, but not by me, PM me and ill let you know the 2 garages that were appauling. Errr........I was enjoying reading this thread about someone starting up a business from scratch and providing a better service than the supposed pro's.......until I read the above post. I have no idea how you think you are going to be able to justify charging exactly the same as established business' when you can't even provide your own canopy if you have to go to the customer, irrespective of the quality of your work. Do you have some kind of professional indemnity insurance? What if you totally destroy someones paint? What if you need to move someones car and crash it whilst doing so? You may have all of the above sorted but you've not mentioned anything like it in your posts. The big company's may charge £1.5k to £2k but they also need to cover things like insurance, premises, staff, VAT, materials and still try to make a profit. From your posts, it seems like your gonna do it in someones borrowed garage and just wing it. Simply saying you'd refund me wouldn't be enough for me. I'd happily let you do some small interior pieces but not a whole car and certainly not for the same price as a professional. I personally think that this site also needs to consider it's position in allowing you to trade here knowing that your not even remotely qualified and only vaguely experienced at the moment. I don't want to rain on your parade intentionally but I don't think that a lot of thought has been put into this you or the people that have ok'd allowing you to offer specialised expert services on this site, that your not qualified to do.

Smells like a for sale thread.....

Good work

Yeah way harder to sell than a heavily modified zed that's been sucking on NOS! Thats what I was thinking

Reading this thread I think it's apparent that you don't really understand the reasons for the remap and also why people have suggested waiting till you add any further mods to the car. The zed is pretty restricted as standard. If you add mods that help the car to breathe easier such as a high flo cats, free flowing exhaust and plenum spacer etc the car is will create more power and be a lot more responsive. However, if you add these mods, the zed has an ECU that 'learns' which means it see's these increase and then dials them back meaning that the car reverts back to the standard power and responsiveness. If you go for the remap without these mods then the effect of the remap will be minimal especially if you are running stock. If at a later date you decide to add the mods mentioned above, to get the full effect of them, it's going to mean another journey to Abbey to get the car done again. I don't think you'd have to pay the full price as you would have an UPrev license, but it would mean another journey. Therefore, if your going to add these mods, then you'd be better off waiting and doing it all at once, in one hit.

I'm assuming Abbey's price is also higher as it includes critical dyno time, which a geezer who turns up on your drive in a van can't do.....

Maybe it wouldn't have taken you nearly two months

I'm not sure what planet your on. How does this (which is the text from your initial advert) make it clear that it's not a genuine NISMO item??: As for it not being fake??? It has 'NISMO' etched into it. If Nismo didn't make it; IT'S A FAKE!!!!

So what actually happens to the car now?

85k is such a tricky mileage, as everyone will be thinking "12 months in that car and it will be over 100k". Suddenly it then becomes very hard to sell a 100k+ car. I'd be puting it up for £10,500 but I think the selling price might be sub £10k, who know's?

£10,550? Is this eBay?
