    Anybody clued up on tax/self employment?

    If you use the car for personal and business you normally can get half the VAT back. So in your friends case if he is paying no vat then he is committing fraud I believe. What he wont have to pay is the ridiculous tax rate you pay when you normally get a company car as he is under the threshold...

    HID help

    Hi Deaks, You retro fitted these head lights correct? If so you would need the projector non xenon and then put the h1 xenon's in after. It looks like you have the original Xenon ones meaning that they take d2s bulbs if I remember correctly. Therefore I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I...

    Essex based remappers/tuners for my 200.

    Hi Mate, Yeah I am happy with it. Power increase is not noticable only big difference is I can go faster in each gear as rev limiter has been raised slightly. Map sensor fix is temporary in my opinion. The flat spot is basically isnt noticable with a standard car its when you get exhaust mods...
