  1. Yep, been here too, done possibly 1500 miles (500 miles of that was driving it back from Northhampton) in my blue G60 since I bought it 3.5 years ago. I have spent shedloads getting it to where it is and still have a fair bit more to spend. She will be getting transported down south in summer to have rest of work finally completed but just can't be bothered with it at the moment. Have been doing little bits and pieces here and there to try and keep the enthusiam up, and then things happen like sunroof, central-locking and spoiler stops working......

     

    And the draw of a newer e46 BMW is drawing me in.........


  2. VR6Joni,

     

    You said your brother was given 6 points and a £200 fine by the police. I was under the impression that it was the courts / magistrates that decided what points / fine were to be issued or paid when considering the apparent offence and not up to the police at all ? There is no way the points could have been added to the licence there and then ?


  3. Well having picked up a really nice interior (cheers Kris) a few weeks back now, I got round to fitting the MJ-retrimmed black leather with blue alcantara centres F+R seats and rear doorcards (forgot what a PITA job they were :? ). Front doorcards will be a bit more hassle, as am going from early to late fittings and have to mess around with wiring and stuff. Also, have to get the gearshift gaitor, headlining, sunroof trim, visors etc. in too, as it's a complete interior I bought, however, this will do for now.

     

    So, there will be a complete early black leather interior for sale very shortly :wink:

     

    Anyways, had always liked this interior when it was in Tom Ingrams old charged VR6, think it looks ace and matches paintwork very well. Just needs a good clean really now. See pics below:

  4. I don't think you can get them from the stealers anymore, i.e. obsolete. I paid a fair bit for mine secondhand as wanted OEM ones with no fitment issues, used ones do come up for sale rarely and usually go very quickly.


  5. You haven't said the mileage mate, but assuming there are no bodywork issues, interior not worn or marked and it's all as descibed etc, it's a good standard (bar wheels and susp) with what seems like good SH. Pictures would also help a bit. Assuming average miles etc and all in good order I would guess at something about £2250, more if RH wheels were included, poss £2500 total. This is just going on what similar cars have sold for recently.


  6. Yeah bit random but looks a very tidy install, looks so strange mounted that way too!

     

    At least it's got some room round the engine too unlike the Corrado, probably runs cooler I reckon.

     

    As for the intercooler Struan, remember air-con Golfs were like this out the factory - I agree it's not ideal though.

     

    Yes, I know that, however, at least the Golf G60 air-con had an intercoooler designed with a sculpted box-hood that fitted flush to the underside of the bonnet and stopped most of the hot air being drawn in directly to the intercooler......


  7. And anyone care to guess the price from VAG for an un-painted Rear late bumper?

     

    :pale:

     

    Interesting, considering VW HQ told me they were obsolete about 2 years ago when I needed a brand-new one :scratch:

     

    Nice thing was, as insurers couldn't find one, they gave me the full VW cost price for a new one in the form of a cheque and I gave the bodyshop a decent spare one off a late G60 I broke a few years before that :)


  8. Oops, my bad, but yeah still a good time 8)

     

     

    Sorry to do the search on you etc but the difference between a 14.699 and 14.966 is huge in performance/traction terms, so my curiosity was aroused.

     

    Yeah maybe, however, I would imagine I will have even better figures when engine work all completed etc. 8)


  9. Mmmm ok cheers for all the responses guys, i will look into them in more depth then, i was just intrested i an Allroad as there not very common at all.

     

    and as for the S4 Bill, yeh i would have one tomorrow but the missus needs to drive it also, and she does not like driving fast cars.

     

    looks like its gonna be one of these then http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... gLetter=51

     

    Yeah, like a 2.7T AllRoad remapped to 320BHP wouldn't be fast :lol:
