Niiiice, I accept beer payment through Paypal ;) Did you buy tyres or going to get mates rates? It's worth trying online tyre places like Blackcircles and there's another but I can't think of it..

 :grin: :grin:, i brought them without tyres, i phoned my cousin and he says he will be able to get a discount on some.. now i just have to buy a radiator, either spray/buy new front bumper, some un-scratched trims for inside, and maybe a bearing  :grin:

Radiator isn't much and can be fitted in an afternoon. Trim is cheap from dealers too.

yeah, i have asked at some garages and they offered £100ish fitted, not too bad tbh

just wondering if fitting myself would be a better option...

Or buy a rad for £40ish I think and fit it yourself! that way you learn your way around your car
