That sucks.. :( Ba5tards need stringing up by their balls... Had a similar thing happen to my MK2 GTI a couple of weeks back. Loads of scratches on the boot lid :mad: Like you say, it's the principal of the thing - that some little scrote has violated your property :snipersmile:

Finally got this damn bolt off today! Had to hammer on slightly larger torx bit, like some of you guys suggested :) New bolts on order from the $tealers Just out of interest, where do I get hold of a spline socket? The torx bits do the job, but I'd rather use the correct tool next time! :wink:

Unfortunately it's a write off... :cry: Just kidding :wink: :lol: All fixed now, thanks for asking :) Bumper looks as good as new, they manage to get rid of a dent/bulge in it really well Will try and post some new pics if the weather's is nice this weekend

Plopp doesnt taste that bad! :wink: ....Kak on the other hand :gag:

Park diagonally across 2 spaces :wink:

It's a torx bolt (12sided star shaped) and it looks like the threads are buggered :( Need to remove the cover, so I can replace my accelerator cable

Storm or not, all VR6's need dropping! :wink: I doubt the guy that designed the car in the first place would have wanted it looking like it's on stilts :lol: I'm sure I read on here that the later VR6's were higher 'cos owners were complaining to VW about damaging sumps :?

Slightly off topic, but when I had to replace my ignition switch and got the old one off, I took it apart just out of curiosity. It stank of peanuts!! :lol: Sorry, just had to share that... :wink:

Ukyo Katayama :lol: Anyone remember the time he knocked over a marshal?!? :shock: Another Jap driver - Taki Inoue - had the opposite happen; he got knocked over by a marshall (These were both low speed accidents, so no one actually died, thank God...!)

Kev's Supercharged VR6 sounded mental at the RR day today :notworthy:

Good luck - it's a b4stard of a job! :lol:

So you're saying that you can get rid of the rear bumpstops if you put coilovers on? Never heard that before. No.. they are already on the pre-assembled coilover

Rear bumpstops should be already included in the coilovers (I've got Silverline-X's too) But yeah, you'll defo need new VAG front top mounts

I've always loved RXII's but, as you say, they're a b!tch to keep clean :( That's why I'm sticking to low maintainance Solitudes :wink: :lol:

One of my colleagues calls mine a Carrera :? :lol:

Yeah, looked very nice -unlike some of their work... :roll: Can't stand it when they chav up motors, putting flames down the sides, huge spoliers etc You should check out Overhaulin on Discovery Home - now their cars come out amazing EVERY time!

Nothing wrong with a few tins of Dulux :lol:

thank you, what a nice gesture! here's your car photochopped ;) Thanks :lol:

I'm sure you've got the right to take it anywhere you like to get it fixed - just that your insurance company might not give you a hire car if you dont go through their approved monkeys.

I took a screenshot of this for selbekk :D

Negative. Dealer fit/aftermarket thing only for the UK

I dont think all garages have liability insurance - Quite often there are signs in garages saying something like 'vehicles left here at owners risk' etc.. But glad to here it was all fixed :)

Yeah we park it at Madrid airport's long stay car park, and then come home :lol: I think (hope) there's some scrap yards in Madrid. Or we can just give the car away for free to some random stranger :)

Here's a rough price list I knocked up: £150 entry fee £100 for the Car £100+ Spare parts £56.50 European AA cover :wink: :lol: £250-350 Petrol (A diesel would probably cut this immensly) £150 Food/accomodation for about 4 days (or maybe sleep in the car..) £50 Ferry to calas £32 Flights home for 2 people ~£80 for 6 months road tax (but some of this would be refunded after we scrap the car) ~£350 for 10 months insurance via Elephant (again, a large chunk of this would be refunded) Total: £1418.50!!! :shock:

I bought the same parts a couple of weeks ago 8) Can't stand using spades either
