Is this "Chavy"?
Discussion
Right.. brief one!
My vx220 took a spin in the snow & just replaced her with a much cheaper & slightly more sensible RX8.. I know they are marmite & please ignore that for the sake of this question if you can..
I would not considder myself by any stretch of the imagination to be a "chav" however my friends are telling me that the car is perhaps a little bit..
I picked her up Thrsday last week & it turns out she has a carbon fibre induction kit & a "borla?!?!" high flow cat & exhaust..
So yes she is a bit loud :s but surely that wouldn't give it "chav status"
N.B. please Ignore the plates having an england flag on them! the threads are no longer allowing me to take them off so she is booked in with Mazda to replace them as it is now a bumper off job apparently.
I dont want to have to sell her as she is lovely to drive!! so please re-assure me..

Careful about the "cheap" ones! There are a few snotters going for sub £5k which will inevitibly need the Carbon Rotor Tips replacing due to MILFS driving them from cold, not checking the oil blah blah blah!My vx220 took a spin in the snow & just replaced her with a much cheaper & slightly more sensible RX8..

How cheap is cheap exactly? (if you don't mind me asking
)Liking the look of it though! And I wouldn't consider it at all "Chavvy" (number plate and tints excluded)...
Should be fun!

You'd sell it just because your friends call you a chav for driving it? f
k 'em.. if you enjoy the car why care what other people think?OP>what do your mates drive?
cheap as in 2004 with 40,000 miles on the clock for £2950!!
I know where your going but shes just been serviced & hot compression tested & thankfully got the all clear!
Unfortunately the guy had just been made redundant so it was one of his toys that had to go..
She is 6 owner & had front & rear bumper re-spray however they are of fairly good quality & I work at VXL so re-sprays dont bother me too much.. (mechanicaly perfect! without wanting to tempt fate..)
and after the lads at work gave her a good valet (bit of free autoglym lifeshine) then aestheticaly very nice as well!

It really isn't. Assuming its got those little plastic screws in, just pull on the plate until it breaks off then either drill some new holes in the bumper and use metal screws with plastic caps on, or stick the new plate on with some sticky pads like these:http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/15410540/UHU-Fix-50-...
