Your car is lowered on coilovers if I'm correct and if so how much were they to declare on insurance?

Nope, mine is still on stock suspension. Was looking at coilovers or else new shocks and lowering springs.

Ah right cool..

I see Conor McGregor got a 730...............d.......

Have been to a fair few interviews lately to be a junior salesman and the comission is ****, the basic is also ****. Seems like you'd be lucky to take €50 from a sale. Still want the job.

Surly if you sold a brand new car you'd get a lot more commission maybe I'm wrong. Either way best of luck with the job search for 2016 if your persistent I'm sure you'll get the job you want. It's not all about the money especially when your younger you don't need as much money anyway as you don't have as many commitments and once your an experienced salesman you'll will get a bit more money in sure. Would make a change to have a salesman that actually knows something about cars :pac:

why dont you swap the 18ins m5s from your red car over ? looked well in the few pics so far :cool:

I would've, if they matched :pac: one of the previous owners seemed to try doing a diy shadow chrome job, 3 wheels are the same and one just does not match at all

Funny, with most of the people i've met, having an interest in cars is no real advantage, so it's good that i've a background in sales.

I'm sure it depends on the brand and customer etc, but my most recent interviews said that you'd get 14% comission on the profit of a sale and that you'd be lucky to clear €1k profit on a sale overall because the market is so tight.

Or one of the wheels is off another BMW.

Oh I know they can be different, but this is definitely DIY, believe me

What is it with birds and shiny dark coloured cars.... Was the robin using the rear window as a super fun happy slide :p:p

Bought a few more bottles for my collection :pac:

You must be planning on keeping the focus a good while or servicing it very often :pac:

Would any of you might fine lads do some photoshopping for me?

Looking at getting these in 18's:



And putting them on this:

Anybody tell me if 16" alloys be to big for the Yaris?

It depends.

If you just want it to look nice - go for it. But performance would be affected.

First time talking to the seller he said they were 15".. The he contacted me asking if it's ok that they were 16" ffs


Went to look at them they would just look so out of place on the Yaris.. Couldn't bring myself to buy something that I disliked so much. Ah well the hunt continues..
...

I agree with SG. 17's are the right balance between comfort, reasonable tyre prices and good looks. 18's and up tyre sizes really jump and you lose the comfort I reckon.

BBS wheels or M-Pars as ye fanbois say would be the best wheels I'd say.

I gave you the brake-less mod too for more BHP

EDIT: GvidoR was too fast :P

Sound! I have some thinking to do, it will have more dish in person, gunmetal is the obvious choice too.
