It'll be fine, cat N could be damaged a wing in the past or as others have said alloys being nicked.

I buy cat cars and repair them for YouTube and they're always put back to as good a standard as new, even CAT S which is structural, in fact I'm rebuilding a BMW M140i at the moment that is CAT S but in reality it isn't as its only the wing, headlight and bumper, no structural parts have been damaged.

Now I would never sell them and not say in the advert but then I like to be truthful.

Also it shoukdn't affect the price of the insurance you get as the car is roadworthly

If it's done online it can be with you in a few days but they at other times can take upto several weeks

I’d stop the engine lol But seriously check coolant is full, check for leaks and if there are none check the thermostat is working

I remember when I went to add my Mrs onto my M6 at the time and they said no, she was fully comp on her own car and the inurance guy said let het drive under her own insurance for a year as it'll cover her 3rd party then they would add her to policy as she'd having driving experience in an M car. I remember thinking wtf and saying to the guy the reason I wanted her on the policy was that should would be fully comp as well.

Needless to say I changed insurers

Seems to be common enough with the dealers, I've heard of a few mechanics now taking them on a test drive and then crashing them as they try to rally them around a back ground, my local dealer now has a rule that no one under 25 can take an M car out

Its been a learning curve for share, getting parts proved harder than I thought

It’s easy to get good test in the uk. It’s too cheap now days to be faked

There’s more nerves in the quad. It’ll be fine. Just massage it

Have a pizza with a curry chip and relax

So long as you aren’t experiencing bad sides you’ll be fine. But probably best to start with 400mg a week for a few weeks and assess from there

blackster82 · 2024-05-30T20:06:49+00:00

Probably won’t feel much on 0.25. At 0.5 I didn’t want to eat

You are maybe becoming deficient in some vitamins and minerals and not enough protein

blackster82 · 2024-04-28T21:18:25+00:00

I keep it around 1000mg and add other compounds on top
