Thats well bad! whats minimum wage?

Depends on your age:

18 and under: £3.53 p/h
18-21 : £4.77
21 and above: £5.73

What do you get £10 a week from school for? I didn't realise schools give out money now, perhaps I would have taken more notice if they had paid me.

depends homuch your family earn, under 30k is like 30 a week, then between 30-35k is 20, and 35-40k is like 10 a week...

< 20 000 = £30

< 25 000 = £20

< 30 000 = £10

Yeah i get the £30 and i dont even have enough to do a project, so your punto aint guna be euro, i doubt it will look much different than higher model stock punto's to be far with that budget

Yeah sorry havnt been on for a while.

Short story:

Spoke to a man from ebay, requesting bumpers from his "breaking punto".
Sorted out a price: £50 for both (my paint code too!)
Sorted out a date, time, and place to meet.
That morning i got an email saying "sorry iv sold your bumpers to someone else, they offered me more".
:bang:

So thats set me back a little, just waiting for some more to come up.

Decided im gonna try and get myself a set of Borbet A's. (Pricey but if i wanna go euro im gonna do it properly).

And a 45mm drop.

Anyone have any info on stretched tires?
Iv seen them on all euro style cars and just wondering how you achieve the stretched look..
Im gonna Google it.

I also have a mate who can do me a full body re-spray for £400 if i give him a hand with the prep work. I do like red cus its a little bit different, but £400 is a bargin. So i might go for... like a Matt Silver, or a Glossy Gold.
Opinions?

Thanks Jake.

Why spent alot of money on euro alloys if you are only going to drop it 45mm

So you want to do it properly but you are only gonna drop it 45mm? Dont bother tbh you need coilovers to pull off those wheels and £400 for a respray? Even if its your mate i would pass. Even at mates rates it should be just under 1k for a decent job.

ChrisUK · Aug 24, 2009

:yeahthat:

My mate wants £1k to respray the coupe using flat paint. "special paint" will be £1250.
