The stickers are from a company called OEM car stickers. They do a range of original design stickers but for mine I sent him a photo and dimensions of the stickers I wanted and he made to suit.

Hi, didn’t end up sending mine to royal Steering Wheels. They had been on shutdown so couldn’t send it to them and then a NOS one came up so bought that instead.
-
Selling my gearknob as I’ve managed to source a NOS one. its on great condition, no damage to the stitching with only tiny marks on the edge near the top badge part. £40 including postage
-
Small update. Refurbished the servo and had the master cylinder done at Past Parts. I got some new stickers for them so it’s back original. all assembled and I’m pretty pleased. Shame the engine covers it all when it’s done.
-
Im really happy with it. It’s done in mercedez Benz grained leather 👍 Yes Royal Steering Wheels. I’m waiting for them to tell me if they can do a gearknob, they didn’t want to do mine as they said it was too good to risk. I have a spare one with the leather removed to send them.
-
Sent the steering wheel off for re-trimming but had to be OE finish so had to be specific on the leather
-
Next job before I start sorting the engine.
-
Yes they are, happy to have gone the standard route now. no, bought the new centre caps from Kippy recently 👍
-
Had to try a new speedline on the car.
-
It was checked at BBA Remanufacturing and they say it’s working fine. I then stripped it and cleaned it etc. myself.
-
🤣🤣 I know what you mean. I etch primed the plated pipes then used some spray I had made at a local automotive paint supplies. I’ll try and find the colour for you. I matched the colour with my new brake pipes.
-
I live in Hull and there is a place nearby that does it. This however was done by derby plating. They did my clutch line and fan case too
-
Thanks, I actually just cleaned them, had them plated, I then matched the colour and sprayed them. one of the pipes is still available from classic parts.

My R36 has Lanoguard on it. Don’t want anything that is sticky and attracts dirt to stick to it. the guy on here did some brake pipes but then was too busy to make anymore so found someone on eBay that did them for me. I sent him the genuine green pipe, genuine unions and the pipes I wanted making for a template. Didn’t charge much and the quality is as good as the guy on here.
-
They come with whatever protection comes on the bolts and they are all genuine VW ones. To be fair, it won’t see any road salt so should stay ok. my imported R36 is like new underneath and that’s 14 years old.
-
Suspension, brakes and subframe all assembled and on the car. heater matrix next then engine
-
I enjoyed the episode but so much they skim over. It didn’t have the side strips when they bought it and obviously changed the exhaust at some point. this forum is so valuable though, I use it loads and hope it’s never lost
-
Front brake calipers and carriers refurbished at BiggRed. Really pleased as they look new now
-
Refurbished the ABS pump.
-
Carefully! Use 2000 grit sandpaper then 3000grit and finish with a machine polisher. Stay away from any panel edges too.
-
Decided to wet flat the whole wing to see if I could get rid of the orange peel. just the rest of the car to do now.
-
Did a temporary rust repair to the drivers wing also.
-
Starting to re-assemble
-
👍👍 me too.

Phew! Had me worried…. watched a video and the mk3 golf has the same bearing but 2 circlips. They push them out the front but then fit the new circlip on the front and push the bearing in from the back.
