Post by: vdubajgti on 26 April 2006, 21:23: I would tend to agree with Knobby, arches look a little squared off to me, unless it's just me? :huh:

Post by: TwistedAspect on 26 April 2006, 21:27: It actually has the full BBS kit minus the front on her......she just has a normal Big Bumper on the front.

Certainly a little unusual though :grin:

Post by: TwistedAspect on 27 April 2006, 23:15: Well, picked her up today and BY CHRIST!!!! What a CRACKING motor for Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£300!!!
Everything is tight, no rattles or rolls!!!

List of things to do first

1. Re hang exhaust (Rubbers perished to hell)
2. Replace rear boot lock (Oops...boot can only be opened from INSIDE the car)

Still don't like the rims although it has made me VERY tempted by a set of Platin P3's for mineÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â :tongue: Kinda love that Deep dish look

There is no rust on her, only the ding on the front wing, she has 141000 on the clock and is so smooth!!!!

Post by: Neaty on 27 April 2006, 23:24: there are some bargains out there, just have to look hard enough.

the boot lock is a piece of p!ss, i just did one for mine tonight! they are about Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£20 from GSF and u get two keys for it.

Post by: rubjonny on 28 April 2006, 10:10: I'd strip the old one and get a second hand one from the scrappy, then swap the locks over. Saves you having an extra key!

Post by: Neaty on 28 April 2006, 10:12: ^^ yea my bunch of keys does have about 12 VW keys on it now! :laugh:

Post by: rubjonny on 28 April 2006, 11:25: fit remote central locking and delock both front doors, I only need the key for the tailgate & ignition. Soon as I wire up a proper boot CL mech I wont even need a tailgate key (except in a flat battery emergency) :cool:

Post by: frog on 29 April 2006, 02:51: Are there any Keyless boot locks as mine has full Central locking as standard?
