got a short bee-sting aerial ;D

oh yeah!! going crazy on the mods ;D

I got a shorter bee-sting on my Mk2 too!
Came off a GTI that was being scrapped at VW Sport. The old one was cracked.

I've not done any real mods yet, not planning much.
So far:
Replaced side repeaters with orange units instead of the cheap smoked one that were on.

Try to do tomorrow (day off ;) )
Armour door plates
Swap out old Pioneer cassette head unit for Sony CD
Swap dash speakers for nice Kenwood items bought off jproctor ;D
Wire up second rear fog light
Wash car!

Just had to re-build my VR6 chin spoiler. Shattered it last christmas, and have really only just got round to doing it properly. Had to take it off to get it up on the ramps, so thought I might aswell sort it out.

just took the dash out again to sort some teething problems out and put it all back in and then noticed I'd forgot to put the center console in and you can't put it back in with the dash in there  >:( grr

 ;D My fella has the same problem with his very low Sierra Cosworth and the ramp up to our garage.. He has to take the full front bumper off and then the exhaust  scrapes along the floor OUCH... luckily it dont come out over the winter so hes only had to do it once since we bought the house... Should be fun watching him trying to get it back out when he has to reverse it down... I can see some damage being doing to the exhaust  :-\

How have you manages to get a VR6 chin spiler on a mk 1 cabby... did you have to modify it?
