Sunday is probably better. What sort of time where you thinking?

....Southampton area? (sorry I forgot). If so, about 10:30-11:00am.

I've got your mobile #. Can you txt me your full postcode or any info I need to help me find you?

I must say there's been so many quality replies in this thread - Too many good ones to pick out just one or two. I didn't really expect so much interest.  :happy2:


Thats because were so bored and don't do any work all day!!


^ :signLOL:

....I think that if I was an employer interviewing a prospective employee one of my first questions would be: "Do you drive a GTI and/or are you on any car forums?" If the answer was yes, they wouldn't get the job!


If they answered yes to that question I'd definitely give them the job.  Clearly a sign of superior intelligence and taste...oh, and modesty of course!  :laugh:

yeh are good but you cant see the redline when its fitted or the full beam light on the dash . 1 of my 1st mods about 5 years ago . a doddle to fit robin diy and save yourself a trip down there . takes about half a hour max

....I've checked out the cowling on mine without the gauge installed and it doesn't hide either the redline on the rev counter nor the blue full beam light. Did you not have the offset version?

You know how useless I am with car installations. I'm passing JKM on my way to friends in Surrey anyway and I'd rather someone who knows what they're doing takes responsibility. Furthermore, I don't have tools anyway.

No sticky pads supplied with mine.

My seat is in its very lowest position.

I'm off to a very early start tomorrow so will let you know either tomorrow night or Saturday depending when I get back home.  :happy2:
