What did you and your MKV do today?

JJ · November 09, 2012, 05:44:03 PM

For the first time in many years of owning VWs, I didn't take my car to a main dealers for a service. Instead dropped the Mk5 GTi round to Stattlers in Sheffield for it's 40,000 mile fettle. Great, friendly service from the guys down there. Whilst settling the bill, the conversation turned towards Stage 1 options and perhaps making mine sound a bit nicer. I think this could mean I'm finally about to step onto that slippery slope of wallet emptying!!!

So in the long run it's cheaper to go to the stealers...!

Thanks for that. I don't remember saying anything about trying to save money.

Welcome to the club

^^^^ cheers bud! Really do like the way you have the front of yours looking, very nice indeed.

Nice MC71 - how's the plate being fixed? Magnets?

MC71 · November 09, 2012, 10:37:55 PM

^^^^ yeap, 8 of the little puppies on the plate and another 8 behind the grill. Used the "How to" from TopCat (and another one posted by Monte). Bought some N35 Neodymium magnets, 20mm x 3mm. You would not believe just how strong they are, it's ridiculous!

Fitted the red calipers on the front and rear.

Anyone know if there would be a market for the old 312mm that came off, unpainted. Would replace seals and clean them up.

Scott - am I right thinking you are in Banchory? Might need to come and see this in action at some point! Sounds like Eddie/Golfman will also be getting some business....!
