Driving this more regularly again.

Failed it's MOT a couple of months ago on front wiper blades.

Has since had a full service and running much better after new plugs.

Today's fun and games involved a new backbox and front brake pads.
The remains of the old backbox were a bit of a b!tch to remove, but the new one went on easily enough and lined up nicely. Looks strange having chrome tailpipes now, having got used to the black ones that were on there for so long.
For anyone after a standard 16v backbox, I would recommend the mts item from GSF.

I'll bung some pics up tomorrow, if I remember.

OLD - Genuine VW backbox (tailpipes painted black):



NEW - backbox from GSF (tailpipes look quite small in pics but look OK in the flesh):





Front brake pads were quite worn :lipsrsealed:

Yeah, which made me a bit hesitant about purchasing these as I didn't think the ones you had suited it tbh. However, I don't know if it's due to the fact that these have grey centres rather than black or 195/50 tyres rather than 185/55 (iirc?), or maybe a combination of both, but I think this set work quite well  :smiley:
