OMG dinkus, you need to weigh all that! Must be severely affecting your power:weight ratio! I'm keeping weight down with a few select items... Jump leads Jerry can of Super Bin liners Water Josh Ritter CD iPod (and iTrip) Stainless Steel Cocktail spike (useful for sooo much) My old headlight switch Spare Caliper carrier bolt That's it. :)

Looks like you're really going to town on it mate, had it been living in a bog before you bought it?! Keep up the good work! :)

With the 16's it does feel a little more crashy at times but generally mot much different. The handling feels the same partly due to the comp's being quite light I think. The further lowering hasn't had much effect but it was only another 15mm all round. I don't expect 17's are that much different, just as 16's aren't much different to 15's but as they say, every little helps! :lol: Phil, you're welcome to have a go next time I see you, last time if you recall my car was not roadworthy... :x :)

MASSIVE clean then fitted SEAT red heater controls (after a bit of trimming!).

They look a bit like BBS RX2's, nice. Would look good on your C andy.

Good work, love all that sort of thing!

I just had wheel alignment done thismorning at my local tyre shop... £18.53 all in.

Will hell involve staring at your number plate all day? :lol:

Thinking about it though, as Walesy said, it looks very nice with the bonnet down which is what counts really. Would be good to replace those 3 faded bits. How did you fit it Jez and how easy is it to do?

That's his own 'Cornish desiged' one. :)

I don't like your no. plate either..! :) The smoothed wiper hole does look good though, much better than the bung on mine...

Looking nice indeed. Not very OE but a vast improvement, look forward to seeing it in the flesh on Sat night... :thumbleft:

Are those spring bittys available from VAG do you know? Missing mine off my MK3 calipers.

I think Stan tried to run a GB on rear lupo wipers but it didn't go ahead for some reason...

Yours are off now though Furk'z right? Have you had it sprayed since then?

Good work Neil, look forward to seeing you dive into this project as well! Who did you get the insurance with?

I took one of mine off a few weeks back to see what it was like. Couple of small bits of paint came off as well.. :( Then I put it back on. If ever I got a smack in the door without them i'd always blame the fact that I took them off, regardless of whether they'd have made a difference!

I think he does actually want some parts (bonnet & slam panel etc.) it's just his round about way of saying so! The thread title 'parts for sale' didn't help matters! :)

LOL I love these threads when The Wire gets a chance to rant a bit... :lol:

Does look nice & tidy mate. Isn't 70mph about 3k revs in a VR?! :)

Back where ya belong!

Yup there's nothing below 10k i'd replace mine for so she's staying. :)

Maybe best not to buy one then as they can be expensive to keep on the road! :(

:lol:

Phil K, I get 30mpg average in my VR!
