hi all quick question
Should a s1non custom have pop out windows and no sunroof
on a c plate a mate is telling me its a reshell cuz it doesnt have
a sunroof any ideas

 

They dont have a sunroof not too sure about the pop out rears tho.

 

mines a non custom and its got pop out windows and no sunroof the non customs also come without leccy windows and central locking although mines had both of them fitted for the full closure alarm

 

mine has not got e/w or c/l i just bought it but a mate is telling me its defo a reshell as all c plates had sunroofs

 

thats not true mines a c plate

 

thats what i thought it was getting me a bit worried

 

A non custom basically means none of the luxuries, so no electrics, sunroof, etc

The pop out windows aren't really of much relevenace IMO as they are easily fitted anyway.

 

CheeRS lads my mate still wont have it i even showed him your replies
he still tells me its fake though

 

 

HI MATE .NOT LONG SOLD MY S1 NON CUSTOM AGAIN MINE HAD NO S/ROOF & NO E/W C/L ,,I SHOULD TELL UR MATE TO GIVE ANY FORD DEALER A BELL..

 

hes saying late b plates and all c plates were customs
just had a proper argument with him i said customs
were just a option and there were a lot more customs
as it was very popular to have and the nons were
a lot rarer the the customs is this right?

 

IF I WERE U ,CONTACT THE RS OWNERS CLUB.THEY WILL GIVE U ALL INFO NEEDED..MINE WAS ON A C,AND DEFO NOT A RESHELL..

 

You are correct mate, the non customs were obviously a fair amount cheaper because of this, but were actually also the better cars really, mainly because of the fact there is no sun roof to go rusty.

Non customs are rare though, probably why your know it all mate is stuck in his views

 

cheers for that chav that was exactly what i was thinking

 

have you still got the cab?

 

YES AND NO DODGEY ELECTRICS TO PLAY UP......AT THE TIME OF SELLING MINE.I KNEW THAT THEY WERE RARE,I KIND OF REGRET IT NOW IT WAS VERY CLEAN,,

 

so are they worth more or less?

 

I WOULD SAY MORE MATE....IM SURE I READ ON HERE SOMEWHERE THAT THERE R ONLY COUPLE HUNDRED LEFT...

 

once again thats what i thought he still aint
having it coz his c plater is a custom and
mine aint but thats what i wanted

 

Yes mate still got it.

Dodgy electrics? The electrics in the Mk3's are actually very good, and its BASIC, very rare for it to go wrong!

There doesn't appear to be much difference in value between them to be honest, a mint & genuine s1 with history is worth good money irrespective.

Most would actually probably actually prefer the customs though because its always nice to have electric windows and central locking, especially when you have an alarm

 

sorted the roof & window on it?
i have got all the stuff to make it
e/w c/l so should i fit then?

 

is it just s1 that r custom or is ther custom and none custom s2

 

IT MUST HAVE BEEN JUST MINE WITH DODGEY ELECTRICS THEN....THAT WAS THE MAIN REASON FOR ME SELLING IT...IT HAD 3 FUEL PUMP RELAY SWITCHES.JUST KEPT EATING THEM..1 MINUTE IT WOULD RUN FOR DAYS ,THEN OTHER DAYS WOULD REFUSE TO START,I TOOK IT TO SEVERAL SPECIALISTS AND COULD NOT SORT IT,THEY KEPT TELLING ME ITS GOT TO PLAY UP B4 THEY COULD PIN POINT THE PROB..AND YES EACH TIME I TOOK IT DOWN IT WOULD RUN FINE,SODS LAW

 

I put a glass in cos there was a cat jumping through the hole and sleeping in it

Other than that ive done nothing, almost certain im guna get rid of it.

jayjay, S2 are also available in non custom, i cant remember if its only early s2's that were available in non custom as a lot of stuff became standard spec on the late cars.

i THINK aswell the s2 non customs hold value a bit better, but i could be wrong

 

no they did do s2 non customs aswell but
they are rare as fuck

 

YES I THINK THERE IS A CUSTOM AND NON ON THE S2 ASWELL...I SAW ONE FOR SALE IN LANCS LAST YEAR & IT WAS IN FAST FORD SALES IN THE BACK

 

thought so

 

how much do you want for the cab?

 

i'll PM you mate so we dont take this off topic.

 

cool

 

thanks for the info only reason i ask is because when i renew my insurance it asked if it was custom or non custom and i didnt know wot it ment

 

when i insured my car my company at the time wouldnt insure me because i had brought a non custom model. they would only insure me on a custom model.

 

is that because of the vaule of it
