This may have been covered before so please forgive me if it has..........
There seems to be a grey area when taking an MOT a month earlier than the expiry of your last MOT.
If it fails it appears that VOSA and the Insurance industry are taking different views.
VOSA are saying that the original MOT is valid for the full term of the existing MOT.... but.... Insurers are saying if it has been submitted for an MOT and fails the car is not roadworthy and would not be covered.
This could lead to a claim not being covered.....
Does anyone know the certainty of this?
If VOSA say the car is road worthy, it's road worthy. Thing is, the MOT is technically only to show that on the day of the test that the car was safe, do you have a legal obligation to keep a car tiptop throughout that space of time? I.E...if one tyre was below the limit for tread, does that make the car invalid to cover in the eyes of the insurance company?

and these (Rota)
Best twin spoke alloys ever made, and that pic doesn't do them anywhere near enough justice, SO nice in real life!

Can't say I've ever seen a Matte carbon..it's always got a shiny nature to it due to the actual printing process to make the weave apparent. Here's an interior I wrapped a while back anyway
Wrapped to keep a consistency between the upper and lower part

I got a letter saying my credit card's been targeted by fraudsters, ain't got a pic as it's probably you lot who're defrauding me

The way I see it it will mainly be down to the prep of the paint work plus the environment u do it in. I would think scale of 1-10 with 1 been easy and 10 been hard I think 12
All prep is, is cleaning.
anyway, hard...very VERY hard. You need two people, ideally three. Wouldn't bother mate, you'll just end up wasting LOADS of vinyl and cutting yourself/your cars paint with scalpels. See if you can get a company who wraps to let you help to knock the price down. It'll be interesting for you to get involved as well.

Loved them, had them in 8 months and never had an issue

Didn't these engines run with a 'better' compression than the 3sgte's in the celicas? I might be plucking that shit out of thin air but I'm sure I remember reading that. Just wonder if there's any benefits over the Celica engine.
-
Can't see why you don't just knock the split back a bit so there's nothing but the vertical line on the first part of the R...no confusion that way.
Like so, apologies for the ms paint work...but you get the idea

I had these exact ones, bought them from someone on here..."yeah they're straight"...like fuck they were, buckled to shit. They're made of cheap alloy so I'd be wary if you're thinking of buying them. Can't remember the make, what does it say on the spoke there?

Bikers ,don't get me started
Arseholes aren't they, I still think this even though I ride a bike now
nb* This doesn't include Rizla as he's alright 'n that.

Oh, I don't read most replies...I just throw my opinion/mega-knowledge out there and squint...hoping for the best
it is also due to the quality of wrap adhesive
fact
few days of heat and we would start getting trimming business from people who had either attempted themselves, often with the wrong adhesive (and no i know i'm not talking about wrap but a different material) also people would drive in who had had a job done and redone elsewhere
so prep starts with getting the best for the job before you even go near the car
Well yeah, but not everything outside of Hexis and Avery is going to peel after a bit of sunshine/weather abuse. The most important thing in the process is properly and evenly distributing a very precise amount of heat across the whole vinyl wrap while using laser heat guns to make sure you're doing the job right, so so many people don't do this. Also, low energy materials like plastics will hold vinyl for less time.
-
Lifting is down to a few things:
dirty surface
vinyl wasn't tight enough when applied
heat wasn't applied after it was applied
in that order, 99.9% of the time...it's user error, fact.

nothin' beats reading '200bhp' on gen 6 ads, cos...you know...that ebay induction kit is THAT effective.
-
haha, fackin 'ell
-
false, this is the world's most special gen 6
-
haha yeah you've basically built a beams, but with a uk vin!
-
the engine will be going with my car when i leave for aus (im not taking the engine back out) anyways mondo you have bought enough from me and you already have a beams
When're you going to Australia again? Struggling to see the point in all this effort if yer not taking it with you
-
Yeah but that comes with the nuts/bolts to fit those inserts. I might be wrong, but 99% of alloy wheels don't come with metal studs, they're usually plastic. I've learnt this the hard way, trust me! I do stand to be corrected though
Doh, just realised they mean actual wheel bolts! I'd still check if those are plastic little screws though. Not had enough sleep this week
-
Studs on most wheels are actually plastic...are they definitely metal on these ones?
-
bummer dude, know the feeling (minus the ex wife) what's your commute like? Maybe get a posh hairdryer with wheels like I did. 100mpg is awesome.
-
glad i have a 6 then,ive heard it for years now the whole clamping down on hids but nothing ever comes of it,i dont know what peoples hang ups are about hids to be honest
too bright for oncoming traffic, simple as that.

I live in a relatively rural part of the UK and have to say I've never had anything other than standard bulbs, or felt the need to change. Its just one of those things I don't get.
I do find it incredibly selfish that loads of cars these days drive around with unaligned ridiculously bright bulbs which seem to blind you as you're going round an unlit corner, so from personal experience the whole 'blinding people is cool' point of view just screams tosser to me I'm afraid, not that I'm suggesting anyone has so far but I know plenty of people who don't consider other drivers at all (which includes everyone except the person saying it).
I don't even think I use full beam that often. Maybe I've just got better night vision that you lot
100% this. BUT...Osrams just fit on your normal ballasts and unless you're an utter nonce and don't notice that your beam patterns going way too far right then they're brilliant. Infinitely better than standard bulbs and don't blind anyone. I turned them on and walked about 100ft back and looked at them for ages, admiring their masculine yet feminine features...and their none glary sweetness...pure awesome these things.
Could be a sad day around the corner.
