Morgens ED30 No. 1871 - New suspension & audio!
th3_f15t:
I'm sure there will be enough people on here to help out with parts and what not. Considered going up to OE 345mm front brakes, seeing asyou need to replace discs and pads may as well upgrade? Bigger brakes may come in handy next time, without trying to sound funny. The amount of times my 345mm on my Golf GTI saved my bacon more than paid off the cost of them.
There's currently an R32 rear bumper or two for sale on this forum, I prefer the central twin exit exhausts personally so again I'd opt for that while you're replacing lights and stuff.
I know how you felt, when I ripped my interior apart in my Golf GTI it took months to sort everything out and even then I didn't get all the work done. It's hard to keep going when the odds are stacked against you but when you get the result you were after, it's totally worth it, trust me.

Thank you! I sure will be, she really is a beauty and needs to get back to her former glory!

Hope everything can be sorted soon so you can love and drive your Eddie again.
I can sell you a couple of rear parking sensors that I removed from my Golfs when I installed OPS sensors, if you want. I've already sold a couple to Northern Ireland. :smiley:

I'll consider the parking sensor offer! I think I'm leaving that until last because the mechanical repairs and repairs to the other car come first. It's not going through insurance so any spare cash I had is now gone :(

I had a similar incident with my drivers window being open, and how my drive is sloped down and cambered 80% of the water that goes on the roof rolls down the drivers window. It was half open and was pisssing with rain, luckily only 5-10 minutes after it started raining my step dad came home (earlier than usual) and pointed it out so there was minimal damage.
Hope you get her sorted and fall back in love again soon :happy2:

Very lucky! I've no idea how there's no lasting damage but she's all good. Thank god!!

Unfortunately I can't afford to buy anything other than the discs and pads at present, I'm rooked! calipers, carriers etc isn't an option :sick:
I am looking at the primered R32 rear end that's on here at the moment though... Very very tempted to take out a loan and buy car parts. Bad idea! :P
Morgen:
Yay for car parts.. Shame it's for a corsa
Fitted my new light last night too, yay for legality
Oh and I hit this milestone a few days ago.. She's getting old!
Morgen:
More bumpers...
I did a buy!
