God the sidewalls are huge and gay!! lol
The state of the old Kumhos, which had become quite dangerous with this amount of tread left

Considering they looked like this 4months ago lol

And fitted

The tyre size is w**k, and makes the wheels look tiny lol
Had a quick drive to make sure they dont rub anywhere (as there 195/50s), all seems good. Grip is miles better than it was, and there not even rubbed in yet.
Then got home and decided spray the white centre caps black, no pics of them fitted. Undecided on them atm, they look weird, but ok if you get me lol
That is all for now :thumb:
the toyo's are good but i looked at mine on the vectra yesterday and they are getting low and only been on for 4/5 months
Yep, there a soft compound iirc, so dont last long at all.
We'll see how they go
Thats a big ass side wall. Toyos are nice tho.
Yep! lol lol
Think i will buy some 195/45s for the Mo's, and then save these for track... :)

So needing some /45 tyres for the Mo's, or im even tempted by a wheel change to something else :)
Oh and btw, the 195/50 tyres rub the rear arches with weight in the back of the car, and on full lock the front tyres rub..... So not ideal.
Got any pics without the black centres? I reckon it would look alright without them
They need to be white, and have much much smaller tyres fitted.
Just re-read this whole thread dude, can't beleive its not going to live on :(
Looking at a positive side, R1ch is selling a perfect shell ;)
Aye :(
Another call from DirectLine today, they told me if the assessor puts the car down as a cat a/b writeoff, then you cant buy it back for salvage....
i.e. id lose it, and everything on it...
Can only have it back if its cat c/d, if they agree to letting you buy it back.
If that happens then im moving on from novas definently, as i just wont be arsed hunt around for the many bargains that my car was built from, again.
Oh and to make my week even better i was getting some stuff out the nova boot earlier on, leaned on the edge of the boot to reach into the car/boot, must of pressed on my phone= one ****ed lcd screen
A nice £200 samsung U900 f**ked
Great :roll:
Fook! Take everything salavageable off it before the assessor sees it!
Theres a list of mods on my policy though, so IF he has got that list from my insurance company he will already know what hes expecting to see on the car...........
And will probably then offer me the market value of the car(few hunded quid), and be done with it....
That's bad. so the fate of your car, hangs with some assessor, who probably won't understand the time, money and effort you've spent on it, rubbish!Quote:

When theres 300quids worth of engine under the bonnet alone lol lol
Can you not tell him to go away and you keep the car?
Take bits off it once the assessor has been and told you its a write off? surely whoever comes to pick the car up for scrap isnt going to be there with a long list of mods making sure its all there! Will only be taken off to be crushed? The car is at your house isnt it?
I really dont know mate, dont know whether i can choose not to pursue the claim after ive heard the assessors verdict etc....Quote:

If he doesnt, and then cat a/b's it... Im f**ked basically
And tbh most cat C cars ive ever seen have just had a knackered bumper, headlamp... So i really cant see mine just being a cat c.
Gutted :(.
It might turn out ok.
If he cat C's it, and i can buy it back, all will be good, as i'll at least get some payout, plus keep the car/all my stuff
hang on, if youve declared the mods on it to the insurers isnt it insured to an agreed value.. certainly more than £300 like..?Quote:

Mods are insured but im pretty sure HIC "replace modified parts with standard oe items".....
Sure ive read that in the policy somewhee
Bad ass Astra is now insured, cost me £95 extra over the nova!!!! lol
Bit of a pisstake but im really not arsed, so just paid and got on with it.
Now, wheres that manual boost controller :cool: lol
If they tell you that you cant keep it thats bollox, i was told the same with my old SR that got written off
this one....
http://www.pngclub.com/images/car_images/2632big7.jpg
They said i wasnt allowed to keep it and it had to be destroyed so i told em i wasnt going to claim then as it was worth more to me in parts and sentimental value than they were offering (£325) so they ummed and ahhed then came back to me with, "If you agree that it is only going to be used for a parts" and send them a certificate of destruction when its finished with and crushed then i would be allowed to keep it and the bonus of doing it that way is they see 90% of it as being unuseable so they cant charge you buyback on it either!
Dont let them tell you that you cant keep it as you can, its your car when alls said and done, speak to keith before you accept anything they say as im sure he will back me up bud, trust me you can keep it:thumb:
Cheers mate, hopefully thats the case :)
Aye, before you sign it over and accept their offer, the car is still yours so i assume legally they cant touch f**k all on it.

sometimes they'll ask for the log so the car cant go back on the road. But as said by spudly, cancel the claim if they're arseholes, you're well within your rights!
Adam, I must have missed something... whats gone on with your motor? Maybe able to offer a little advice as Ive had similar experiances in the past and we deal with insurance assesors at work all the time. :)
