cawoodni01 0 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Picked it up last week and my god did I have problems with the insurance companies over it. Got it insured and on the road though to my extreme pleasure. Needs a bit of work to make it acceptable, namely replacing the badly fitted exhaust and knackered shocks and springs and tending to the badly scuffed and flaked wheels.

Jk* 0 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Looks like a good starting point especially at your age! Dont see many in white, but you want to have a look at the other white 3door one on here, its awesome inspiration. Oh. and if you needs some shocks and springs, I will hopefully have my Bilstein Shocks and Springs for sale near the end of the month. They are 16months old. Only selling due to getting coilovers.

cawoodni01 0 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Turning 19 in April but the month running up to then is costing me just shy of £250 to insure it and my renewal in April will be £1343 so could be a lot worse Link to post Share on other sites

cawoodni01 0 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Oh don't worry that was there when I bought it, was removed very promptly haha. Looks like a generic tacky "V" with the "R6" coming from something to do with the motorbike, begs the question.....WHY? Link to post Share on other sites
