Alex's Edition 30 :)

I have to say Alex you've got yourself another great car there with the Ed30.

Always enjoyed following your progress with your Polo over on UK Polo and it looks like you have worked your magic again on this one as well. 

Big fan of that Mk2 as well.

Cheers Jon.

Work in progress on this one, difference being the parts cost more 

Thanks mate...though it was a mk3  Sadly someone rear ended it not too long ago so I was told which was a real shame but hey ho what can you do when its not yours any more

Alex quick question, what's with your odd number plate? Obviously it's a private reg, any meaning behind it?

Thanks   

[George]

Nice.......How is the plate personal to you , is your surname Zebedee?

It came on an old polo I had that had been imported from Ireland...i liked the plate, so i transferred it off and kept it :) Just takes the age away and looks nicer.

Forget I asked

My bad, I really should of known that as my mum had one for 5 years. Shame about the accident though, sad to see a good car end up that way.

Headlight washers ordered 

Good news 
OEM look FTW.

Beware of them staying slightly ajar in the winter when they freeze like mine have

Hi Al!

Brilliant thread you got here mate! Where did you get the Headlamp washers from and, have you ordered the levelling kit for it? If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the Car Vinyl wrap from? I've also PM'd you! 

[alexperkins]

Cheers mate

I got some bits from ebay, and the rest direct from VW via TPS...I have a good friend there so I get things at a great price!!

Levelling kit is coming in time, but not atm as its too expensive and frankly not needed till the MOT time comes round (if at all)

eBay - just search 3m Dinoc 

kl will check

Hi Alex

You kindly advised me of the leather repair kit recently which I have since purchased and used on my bolster with great results 

However, looking at your pic you seem to have a shine/laquer over your repaired area whereas mine is matt after applying the repair......have you used something else to get it back to it's original state after applying the repair kit?

[alexperkins]

Hi mate

I did go over it with a leather cleaner and leather treatment after a few days just to get a bit of shine back into the finish

[alexperkins]

So a little update...

Bought some little GTI inserts for the seat height adjusters

Bought a forum sticker 

Greased up the rear brakes to stop them squeaking as its doing my nut in

Ordered up my headlight washer kit. Just waiting for the loom from Kufatec and then its all ready to install



and finally...

Bought some new center caps for the wheels too



Lots more exciting stuff to do...just waiting on time and money to get it done!

Next mod I think will be R32/S3/Cupra R front brakes to increase the stopping power

Nice one, will give that a try but already pleased with the results and you have to look quite close to notice anything.
