Monster, thanks for that.

OK OK dont laugh, A friend of mine has just bought a Fabia VRS and is looking for a bit of advice. The skoda forums I have found only have about 50 members and no threads to their names. Anyone know of a good one?

Think I got mine about june time. as for the membership. I got mine back with one fairly big purchase of stuff from GSF. also, the jolly round castle coombe more than made up for any delays in the magazine coming. CCGB Rocks !

Good to see he wasnt running a header tank cap. Top mod. :thumb right:

Not to my tase personaly but I do like the idea of tweaking the speedies a little. Saw these at Dubs in the park last summer. DIamond cut and black inners. Really like them but didn't get a chance to speak to the owner and find out where they were done.

Ah my mistake. Must just be the vents Ive seen on all those G60s making me think funny.

I believe the Merc Sprinter vans are charged up? it would explain the air intake on the side of the wing. and their ability to stick to the car infront nomatter what speed they are doing. :)

Bag Humbug, What does the engine note sound like? Nice one Sam. 8)

£71.44 inc vat. and less if you can swing a cheeky club discount. Part number 871 035 503. If you can put up with the same aeiral, the reception can be improved upon by bypassing the amp. The amp is in the base of the unit covered in foam, and it sucks up water, corrodes and worsens the signal. The way to fix it is by ripping out the amp and soldering a link to the base of the aerial. 20 min fix and keeps things original. There is a how too on here

1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1. I would usually say Keskins but them MAM's are preedy sexy.

Unfortunatly Alfa dont make them and as the SZ were such a limited run. No one seems to have spares. The only available replacement is a direct swap buying direct from Lamborgini. These parts are metal, so Im guessing it could be chromed.

Is it possible to re silver the inside of a headlight? A friend of mine has an alfa sz 8) and the relay went fubar this weekend causing a bulb explosion. As such he now has two headlights out and new ones are not available, Am wondering if anyone knows of somewhere that can re-silver the inside or if chroming might be a possibility?

Late spec bonnets are still available from VAG. Not sure on prices though. But have a look in the for sale thread, Im sure there are a couple of bonnets on cars that are being broken.

one of those sticky dog hair removers should pick up the worst of it.

nice one Aide, always tip my hat to the way you just take stuff on and make it work. Can you feel the difference and is it worth it?

Nah, If only. I have trouble enough keeping the Rado on the road. I would arrive at the pearly gates backwards in no time. Just interested.

Lloyds Autobody in Wilmslow might be able to put you right. 01614 379911

Never happier eh Tom?

GTX Magnatec, good stuff, It aint Synta, and those with VW running through them like a stick of rock will gasp, but it is good stuff.

What if you are swearing at the copper? :lcop:

Sent this to RUF yesterday, Hello Marc, http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/125037.htm I hope you can help, I work in Porsche Customer Assistance in the UK and a customer has called in enquiring about the car for sale in the above link, As far as we were aware the famous CTR Yellowbird only ever came in Yellow. I would be most grateful if you could confirm if you ever produced one in Guards Red. Many thanks, Roger Green. Porsche Customer Assistance. I had the following response from RUF Germany this morning. thank you for your e-mail. Yes, the CTR was build in various colours, also in guards red. Only some of the car were painted in yellow. All the best! Best regards RUF Automobile GmbH Marc Bongers Dipl.-Betriebswirt (FH) Sales, Marketing, Public Relations Manager RUF Automobile GmbH Mindelheimer Straße 21 87772 Pfaffenhausen / Germany So it seems the yellobird was available in any colour.

Im mostly Chilled behind the wheel But I do lean on the horn if people are lanehogging. My record is well over 2 mins. The one time I called some a c0cksucker through an open window he chased me for about 10 miles whilst going purple behind his steering wheel. It was a close run thing.

Nice Brakes in the background!

The response I had from RUF.us said that the owners could order it in any colour, But I am still awaiting a reply from RUF.de

Well 28 of them left RUFs factory in yellow, But I spose there is nothing to stop one of them being resprayed in guards Red. I asked tech at work but the only involvement Porsche have with RUF is to supply them cars.
