Brand new 205 GTi anyone?
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

Yeah, I liked the idea of this then realised it would probably be £50k

The market for people who will want this can be measured on one hand.
How about not having a sig at all?

It's about time the French cottoned on to this. Even keeping relatively recent models going is much more difficult than many German or Japanese makes.

This is great news.
This means that long lost parts will now be re-produced to a good standard. Bumper inserts, cloth, plastic parts etc.
This will keep some cars on the road where previously you needed amazing eBay Kung Fu or you had to pay tip off prices from nerdy hoarders.
Dave!

Its a great concept. I couldn't get bits of trim for a 6 year old Alfa Romeo in 2003.JonMad wrote: Fri Oct 23, 2020 1:01 pmI read Mazda are doing this or similar for early MX-5s.V8Granite wrote: Fri Oct 23, 2020 12:26 pm This is great news.

I can imagine some cars being written off with relatively light damage just through the inability to get parts.

I did, no engines to be hand..... except my insurance company instead handed me 6500 in cold hard cash, tapped me the cheek and told me to go and buy myself something nice.
