Thanks for all your help people, proper useful is this website, i like it.

Didnt want to make another topic, but not sure if anyone will see it here. So ive bought the speedlines and will be picking them up saturday, will i need to buy some new bolts to put them on or can I just use the ones from the steelies? If i need some new ones, what type? Also where can i dispose of the steelies? Just take them to a dumpit site or is there a special place you have to take them? It may seem like some silly questions but i really am a total car newb. Thanks in advance.

Haha i had these on my watch list, and i actully won them, collecting them saturday. £117.00 seems mint now for a set of 5. Cant wait.

How a quick search about with not much luck, So whats the average price I should expect to pay for a set of 4 Speedlines with tyres in average condition (although not too sure yet going to see them tomorrow). The peorson is wanting £150 + VAT Does this seem about right? I just didnt want to get ripped off. Thanks David Sorry about typo in title, not sure how to change it

Will try and get some pics up later see what you think. Thanks again for all the advice.

Thanks a lot for all your advice, glad to hear its not a lost cause. Im going to borrow one of those orbital buffers off a friend and give that a whirl, see if it helps. If not ill try some of the other things you have suggested. Anyone have any suggestions how to get the black crap off that has built up in small places like under the rear windows and around the wing mirrors, have tried a toothbrush with not much luck, didnt want to try anything harder incase it scratches the paint. Was thinking a jet wash but not sure if its recomended? Sorry about all the questions.

Might as well introduce myself while Im here, Im David aged 19, I passed my driving test 2 weeks ago, pretty much learned to drive and did my test in my mum's starlet and I loved it. I had some money to buy me a new car, did a few test drives in other cars but I still loved driving the starlet more. So then my mum decides she wants to borrow my money for a new car and buy herself one, in return I get the Starlet for free and she pays me back over a year. Though this was a deal too good to miss. So thats how I got my starlet. So ive got a Red 1998 Toyota Starlet Sportif with just over 40000
