cant asw insurance wont let me, wot head work would i need to do??

Isnt the insurance is going to be about the same after you declare the mods? Ring round for some quotes or wait a while till you can afford to insure a GTI.
Best advice I've ever had is to save, get what you really want and dont blow money on the second choice, 'cos you'll only regret it.
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture

Hey Rik,

How did you get on with the bits and pieces I sold you? Have you got them fitted yet? Are they ok? How'd it all go?

yeah its all fitted, had no end of problems with it stalling though i couldnt find the problem for time and nearly gave up driving it, turned out to be the advance and retard pipe was on the wrong bit of a valve so it kept sucking rather than blowing or the other way round, just gotta get the carb reset and i should be laughing, the exhaust system i had to have the down pipe welded to the front mid section as i bent it when the front engine mount went and had a tiny hole welded in the mid section and now all is cool, just waiting to set the carb and ill be happy again, cheers rich oh and golfgal
