  1. nice pics Phil. Look forward to seeing you guys again at another show.
  2. Is someone able to photo shop some 17" alloys to have the following combo? fullu polished and silver bolts fully polished and gold bolts aque blue centre and gold bolts aque blue centre and silver bolts or does anyone have some pictures of the above so I can work out what I prefer to do to my wheels, thanks
  3. shiply do the same thing too. pretty good idea, used it once and worked out well.
  4. some policies allow for screen cover to be included on 3rd party as additional option
  5. why not ebay these? They seem cheap enough!
  6. Might also be brake, clutch, bearing shell dust :-) Was yours the red one parked all day next to dizzy rascals? If so, nice car.
  7. I do kind of see EMU's point, we would be putting down a large down payment and arranging for this activity to go forward. Why would we be paying the same costs that any one in the future (once tooling etc is setup) can then get one without the long wait and effort that we are needing to go through? Thanks Mike for your reply. I have just done some digging and the US versions of the boots in CF etc dont appear to fit very well on the cars ie they don't sit flush, need allot of fettling. Are you confident that the versions you can make will be as if I was to order a metal equivelent ie dimensionally accurate? In addition, if the group buy falls through, will deposits be refunded? For those of you listed on page 1, please post up which spec boots you want and Ill put them against your names. ie carbon, standard or fibreglass. From that we can see if we hit the targets that Mike has set. I WILL be PM'ing you all as a friendly reminder. I'll be going for a Fibre glass version, no wiper hole, working spoiler mechanism. Will send deposit soon after I have my questions answered either on here or by phone conversation. If anyone else wishes to be part of the group by, drop a post.
  8. Wasn't keen on having to heat up the items to make the curves match better and having to primer and paint the black edges. I was under teh impression the black edges would be done by the guy and would be on the inside of the window, not outside. Im going to step back from this and have a think.
  9. Not a bad show, didnt do the sprint 'cus ££'s and I only wanted a couple of goes and didnt do the dizzy rascalss 'cus of the abuse required to do a decent time ie 1st to reverse change (one guy destroyed his gearbox). Yes I know, Im a wuss! Good meeting you Phil. I had to rush off so couldnt experience your lovely car as a passenger. Will have to catch up properly next time.
  10. probably a sticking motor or mechanism. take it apart and clean it out. should be a guide on here somewhere
  11. No worries. B4 passats seem to be a wealth of gear inc moonroofs. thanks anyway and for being such a generous person
  12. Had a word with James at Sub11, hes going to find out if the catering van can come round.
  13. Im willing to compensate. The earliest I can pick it up by is the end of april. Do you still have the rads too? Been wanting a kit for a while now. This is exactly what Ive been after
  14. yes please!! might struggle to collect quickly. but Im happy to arrange courrier if thats ok with you?
  15. Yeah, thought about a thin coat of body colour. Like I said toying with loads of ideas. Spent most of today giving the car a full clean. The winter really took it out on my car so will need to re do most of the stuff I did for the conversion. If I get the house we are looking at to buy Ill be taking the car off the road and use it for weekends and make it a proper project ie awd twin turbo. until then Im not too bothered about the bodywork etc. Fitted a new Varta battery. Cranks over much better now, will keep the old one as a spare.
  16. cleaned inside and out, inc the engine bay. Fitted new battery and all red rears. next thin on the list is to rebuild the RH ZW1's.
  17. Last time I spoke to John (Monday just go iirc) he said he was going to pop onto here and directly communicate with us via this thread. I sent him an email with the link but I reckon it's fallen off his radar. So if you give him a nudge, and Ill do the same. Hopefully Ill see him tomorrow at Springfest.
  18. you sure its not the heat shield thats rattling? if so take it off. otherwise, check if your can can have the cat removed and fit a decat. cheaper and more power can be achieved
  19. were the rears seated correctly to the top mounts, quite possible that they were both incorrectly seated and one popped back into position whilst driving, the other may still need to be reseated. Check them again, as you lower the car back down make sure the springs seat correctly, my FK's sometime drop when the cars raised off the ground and as I lower the car back to the ground i need to reseat them.
  20. I had something similar recently. Turned out I had a faulty ignition switch.
