coming along nicely dude !

[Phil Miller]

Very nice mate, I'm on a similar route to you but as you have found fundage runs out at times

Keep us up to date mate

Well I've just had my MOT today, luckily it passed but got an advisory on an oil leak which we need to find where its coming from as it seems to be leaking from somewhere onto the exhaust.

[DanBoy]

Well the oil leak turned out to be nothing, just a sloppy oil change by the garage I bought the car from so we've clean up the mess and all is good.

Also starting to feel like I'm getting somewhere with this now, I've ordered 4 new Uniroyal Rainsport 2 tyres so I can finally get my wheels back on the car and I took a trip to VW and bought a full set of wheel nut covers as all originals were discoloured from the previous owner using acidic wheel cleaner, but for a fiver I won't complain

Well at the min my car is currently sat broken in a garage with some odd ECU issue it would seem......

Last weekend I tried a plain slatted grille I bought for the car, I like how it looks but not overly happy with the fit as its right against the headlights.



And today I had a little parcel arrive (the colour of them wasn't my choice as thats how they came)

Where from and how much?!

[DanBoy]

I bought them from DaveB on here for £399, just got to save up the pennies for my fitting kit and discs/pads.

[DanBoy]

Not too much happening with this at the min, gave the car its first wax of the year while the weather is good, just a shame it shows off all my scratches, marks, stone chips from 112k of use lol really need to get it painted at some point.





Slightly pee'd off though as I found out today that the paint is coming off all my wheels after paying good money getting them refurbed end of last year so I'll be complaining tomorrow about that.

[DanBoy]

Not too much happening with this as I'm having to modify on a budget lol.

I complained about my wheels so they've had the car back and redone all 4 wheels so they are looking good again.

After letting go of my Porsche calipers I still needed to get my brakes sorted as the car was still on its original discs so as I'm on a budget I bought some front calipers off a member on here and bought new pads and some 312mm ATE Power discs and so far I'm happy with the results since they were fitted today.





A couple of weeks ago I changed my rear lights for some brand new R32 ones and also replaced the mirror indicators for some smoked ones (excuse the dirty car in the pics)

[DanBoy]

I wasn't overly happy with how my Koni springs looked so I've gone and bought some H&R 35mm springs, UK prices are a bit silly on these but German ebay is your friend  bought a set for £127 delivered and they are being fitted tomorrow, just hope it drops the back end lol.

These lights looks so good on black car, where did you get them from?

I want them so much, black GTI headlights.  

Car looks good bud  

[DanBoy]

Thanks, first thing I did when I got it was change the chrome headlights, hoping next month to get it booked in for its hybrid turbo.

[DanBoy]

Had the H&R springs fitted yesterday, looks wise not massively different but my word the handling is so much sharper
