Nice car, cant believe how much car you get for your money...

looks better now shes lower to the ground!

dont mean to sound dumb but is it rwd? 

Nah, you won't find a RWD VW bar the Nardo or something air-cooled.

Thats what i thought, but just noticed the way the engine was sitting and though "mmm i wonder" lol

Similar set up to Audi's in that the engine is right out front of the axle and mounted longitudinal rather than transverse.



I do love the ride as it is and with the remap dont really need to go flat out rounds bends as you soon get back to speed.
I'd like to get mine lower but can live with it as is.

Looks really good. I can't believe you got all that car for £700 

Liking the sound of the Ebony black stain you have planned.

well lowered means hassle round my area! 2 huge speeds humps and a floor/sills meeting don't make good noises!

and she's now developed a groan (it disappears on acceleration and braking) which needs looking into, wheel bearing, cv joint or something else???

Yeah tell me about it! cant get out of second gear sometimes!

cv joint will only be on cornering no? wheel bearing will be constant i think, is it like a rubbing groan? perhaps heat shield?

Well It's being a while since I updated........but I've done some minor and major changes

Benz 17" wheels with very good pzero's - some stickers/badge playing - roof glass spoiler - rear window blinds.....and it's now like this (and needing a proper clean!)







and next is new aux belt pulley and belts and a good service (and a good clean when the sun comes!  :-? )

Was the rear window spoiler easy to fit?

[Jay]

Were you down this way recently?

[boneybradley]

Were you down this way recently?

Nope I'm too knackered to drive anywhere! (so my doc says!)

and andy the window spoiler was just tiger sealed onto the glass... 2 minute job
