  1. Yes i know what you're on about - front valance is what its refered to i believe. Seems they were put on with a poor coat of paint and therefore rot away, best thing you can do is get a new one, give it a good coat of red oxide primer aswell as grey primer and top coat to make sure it doesn't happen again .............
  2. Meguiars metal polysh and a coat or 2 of Mer wheel wax
  3. Just looked it up on the ProAlloy site, £560 from there.......sure Jabba were asking more..........?? http://www.proalloy.co.uk/cgi-bin/sitew ... d=proalloy
  4. Andy D, Your pics never appear for me !! Seen the Jabba/Pro ones and they do look good, they fit with standard bumper Sandy - there is a thread if you do a search

  6. g-man, Do you have/make your own intercoolers ?? Any pics/specs ??
  7. Any ideas what i could get in with a 675mm Radiator ?? Or can i put a bigger golf G60 Radiator and IC in ??

    16" BBS RX's

    I'd go for 195/45 on a 7" rim or 215/40 on 7.5" if i were you Starky - popped round earlier BTW but you wasn't home !!
  10. Henny, Did you have a standard radiator with the golf IC ??
  11. Nice one !! Really like the colour of your C.
  12. What is available for the G60 ?? Most people seem to go for the Golf or Rallye FMIC, is it possible to use a larger Golf G60 radiator with these ?? A few have Merc van ones and (cough) jabba are selling them now. Does g-werks do an upgrade ?? On a search he said about a prototype ?? Anyone got anything different or mounted where the standard IC is ?? Not sure what to go for so any advise appreciated !!
  13. 8) Nice pic, liking your car
  14. Little sh1ts - so facking thick and bored they just go around doing pointless cr@p like that. Annoyed for you aswell
  15. Go for Koni shocks with H&R springs or FK Konigsport coilovers of i were you mate. Plenty of people use these set-ups and don't have any complaints about them ......
  16. Got it today - awesome car Lee, i can see plenty of elbow grease went into this and it has paid off nicely, quality of work is amazing. Bet you leave it parked in gear now !! Think i'll do the same after reading that !!
  17. Tryed Justmatz or Supergolfs ?? Can't think of their web address' but should come up in a google search ......
  18. I use Meguiars 'metal polysh' on mine then a good coating of Mer wheel wax. I do over 200 miles a week so i usually give them a clean every weekend and find the brake dust comes off easily with water. Doesn't even take that long when you get the hang of doing it !
  19. I like the matt paint actually - had a similar idea a while back but in a colour. Something different i suppose ........
  20. Yeah the Storm had BBS Solitudes and the Jet had Estorils.
  21. Sound fine to me mate, et 35 is good.

    9x16 borbet a help

    Black centres look amazing !! 9 is too wide tho dude, unless you don't mind them out of the arches or getting them pulled out....
  23. Mate that is sh1t, very unlucky. there are some proper knob-ends out there who for 1 can't drive, 2 have no respect or 3 common sense. Especially when we're all insured to deal with this sort of sh1te.
  24. Have you phoned all the dealers listed here mate...... http://www.bbsdirect.co.uk/contact.htm
  25. Hey starkos those 2nd hand ones Bally posted look alright - what ya reckon ??
