It depneds on the porgress of the V5, if its already classed as being scrapped, iirc they can't sell the shell

Yes they can it will just need a VIC check,

If its a CAT B they cant sale the shell unless to someone with a ELV certificate.

Just a tip if you ever phone a breakers for something and they ask what colour dont ever say what colour you want or make up some random one like purple as if its the right colour they will double the price!

Ha ha, yeh you are totally right ! i work in a breakers and as soon as someone starts asking for a specific colour if i have one i allways add a bit on top as it dose save the buyer alot of time, money and hassle so theyre pretty much guranteed to buy it regardless !!!

My tip is to buy **** before it reaches the scrappy, then sell all the stuff you don't need and get paid the few pennies for weighing in the rest. This is why I'm about to purchase a Cav for seats for my Nova and also why Dougie has a double garage full of unwanted Vauxhall stuff :p ah well, it's a good life lol

my tip? jump the fence in a balaclava and "borrow" a selection of bits....
