Hi Dom
Yey I moved to Morayshire. Can't go any further North in the current direction or I'll end up in the North Sea LOL.

I'll probably get a thread up but just sooo much to do at the moment it's not even funny!   :cry:

Can't even start my new job yet as they've still not received my 2nd ref.   :angry:

This is probably the best looking mk3 on stock wheels I've seen.

Right so a small update, for starters I found the cause of a very annoying rattle that has been driving me crazy recently. Tucked underneath the carpet in the boot by the n/s rear light was this:



Obviously for a CD changer which had been there at some point, but as it wasn't secured it was rattling against the metal of the boot floor  :angry:

I also retinted my indicators/blanks using the rest of the spray I bought a while ago, I did a much better job this time and they are darker than before. Finally this evening I decided to go a bit lower so wound the front coilovers down another 15mm  :evil:



I've got about 20mm of thread left on the front and a little more on the back, the maximum drop on these is 100mm so apparently it's down 80mm at the front, but i'm not too sure it's that low  :huh:

Anyway, I can't really go any lower as this is how it sits while parked up on my drive:



The exhaust is blowing at the join between the 2 pipes linking the cat to the middle silencer so that needs to be investigated when I have time, other than a good cleaning sesh is all I have planned for the moment  :cool:

Much better with a badged grill and yeah, the fogs/blanks/indicators look quite "genuine" now :)
