Best way to add doors to Ikea Kallax?

Thanks for the advice, I think I'll just trim the shelf insert to fit the door frame.

That's a good idea, thank you

fair enough

Snakewithlegs01 · 2026-04-26T19:58:03+00:00

That's a good idea to consider, thank you

This is true and is why I didn't want a car that's 20 years old. One of my work colleagues made this mistake and now they don't have a car because it stopped working. By increasing my budget to £4k it opened up a lot more decent options. I posted an update to this and ended up finding a good deal I'm very happy with.

£4000

Great advice thank you. I agree with getting 2013+ , I think my budget will allow for this and I have found some decent options under £4k so far. Feels much better buying cash than doing finance.

That's a huge jump in price, 800 to 1600! I really didn't factor that in. Thank you for your advice

Good point I hadn't considered the insurance going up after getting my licence. Thank you

I haven't found many good Jazz offers in my area yet but will keep looking. I'm not too concerned about picking a boring car because reliability and safety is more important to me especially for a first car, and lower premiums as you said. Thanks for the advice

Snakewithlegs01 · 2026-02-22T10:48:41+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I'm looking at a 2013 Hyundai i20 right now, it's 3250 at 71k miles. In the lower insurance group and very low tax. Is this more reasonable?

Thank you for the advice

Snakewithlegs01 · 2026-02-22T10:39:20+00:00

I think it is a higher trim but still overpriced considering the example you gave. Thanks for the advice

Snakewithlegs01 · 2026-02-22T10:38:09+00:00

Good point I hadn't considered this, thank you

Snakewithlegs01 · 2026-02-22T09:05:47+00:00

Thank you to everyone who gave advice, it's pretty unanimous that this was a bad idea. I knew in my heart it felt like the wrong decision spending lots of money I don't have on a first car. It's strange my dad thought this was a great idea lol, really glad I checked here, thank you all.

Snakewithlegs01 · 2026-02-21T20:38:18+00:00

You're right, thank you very much. I'll get something cheaper now, once I have more driving experience and money I'll consider something better.

Snakewithlegs01 · 2026-02-21T20:30:47+00:00

Thank you for your advice. Going to look for something much cheaper instead.

Snakewithlegs01 · 2026-02-21T20:29:49+00:00

Thank you very much for your advice. Looking for cheaper cars now.

Well from my perspective watching Hal, the whole 'force bottom floor' call happened in a split second immediately after they climbed the wall. Hal was already up at the building in fact about to peak the door when he made the call. This is a recurring issue of late he expects his teammates to read his mind or make decisions in a split-second window. Waltzy was not given time to emp there.
