this has been covered oh a few hundred times

do a search. its not legal for you to drive that car on your p's

insurance aside its simply not legal. regardless if its listed as your parents car if you are caught driving it, then its illegal, if you stack it and make a claim your insurance is most likely instantly void as you were breaking the law whilst driving. it wont matter who is listed, it matters who is driving at the time of the accident

Yep have an accident and you'll feel the full brunt of the law and rightly so.

Worst of all compulsary third party(a component of registration that covers personal injury claims) would be voided ie:You hit someone and injure them, you are financially responsible for the injuries, rehab,death, ect, ect with absolutley no tac assistance or valid insurance it'd most probably make an enormous dent in your finances for possibly the rest of your life.

Hardly worth the risk, wait it's the only option unless you're an absolute moron that is.

    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup. 
    • Cheers thanks for the help mate I’ll see how we go with that one
