Ah yes sorry, I should've said classifieds add rather then sale thread lol. My bad. Thanks anyway fella.

I don't get it... lol Thanks dude, didn't even notice that!! Worked a treat.

LOL thanks fella, more to come soon! You telling me, 1.5 hours to adjust each side and my right hand has about 10 different cuts from installing my new headunit (huge loom, mission to tuck it away) lol.

Not bad, not the best either, get a listen to them for yourself and see if you like em. I don't like 6x9's unless you're using them just as subs and when i heard the old orion hcca components in the CAS demo golf I never liked the way they sounded either. What amp will you be using? Is a small sub not an option instead of the 6x9s?

Well the car went up for sale and is coming straight off again, a potential buyer asked me to fit the leather interior prior to a sale and once it was done I fell for the rado's charms again lol. I'm not going to insure/tax it after may as I don't drive it much anyway and just get as much done to it as I can before the end of summer. Anyway, leathers are in... I went to a mates house yesterday for a bit of help doing this... lol It took a heat gun, 2 hammers, 2 c spanners, a lot of grease and a wire brush to get them unseized fully! Cars 1.5 inches lower at the front now so it sits more or less level, maybe slightly nose down as the height was really annoying me and then I went and added about 35-40kg of ice in the boot which didn't help lol. Anyway, no pictures of the car as it is with its new ride height at the min, I'll get some up soon when i've cleaned it... Thanks for reading, Abdul

I was really quite impressed by it too, looks amazing huh!

Hmm I've chucked away the old sheild now lol. Need to call vw i guess! Thanks dude, appreciate it..

Hi guys, sorry if i've missed it but how do I go about closing my for sale thread? Thanks, Abdul

Hi guys after having my exhaust done a month or so ago my car developed a nasty rattle as the shield corroded around the backbox and was flapping around. Anyway as a temp measure I got the exhaust place to chop the backbox section of heat shield off. Now the centre section has begun rattling too!! Anyway does anyone know how much vw charge for a new heatsheild? Does it come in separate pieces or is it one big piece from the cat/downpipe? Thanks Abdul

H why don't u pop down to mine some time? You can collect the wax too while your at it lol.

How is the parrot connected to your front speakers? Sorry dont know jack about parrots but pm me about the rest if u like. Your headunit should have an option to turn off the internal amp btw. If not pm me lol as above.

People get away with worse. Each to their own isn't it, why do we spend money keeping 15 year old cars on the road? Nice pics btw.

About 1500 should do the car and shuts. I'd paint it for the extra cost tbh (assuming your not on a tight budget)...

Aw man im envious of your skills, you did your chains in a day!!! Lovely storm man.

Furniture clinic also do it, let us know how it goes as i need some too!

Good RR result... like i've said to you before, if i were you i'd drive it till it gives up then do the swap, it pulls bloody well man. Can u get a bigger pic of the rust showin the surrounding area? That's well random... you can sort it yourself though as it's out of sight so thats a good thing eh...

Hey Andy, looking good, not feeling the yellow fogs though sorry to say... subtle tint on the indi's and fogs like i had on my old valver would look awesome imo... Black rado's are just lovely, suprisingly rare from what i can tell...

I think this is amazing tbh, much nicer then your vr, no offence.

Thanks H, more pics at the bottom of this post! I need to fit the wheel, being lazy... Cheers Jake, as above, more pics below! There's more... Cheers fella, the tips need to be spaced apart a bit further as they're a bit too close together right now for my liking, need to trim the bumper etc though, maybe next week as the backbox heatshield is now rattling so it needs sorting... Ok more pics from my detailing session, in all fair honesty, i was very lazy with it, only gave the car one hit with Menzerna Intensive Polish (bonnet twice) and then a coat of Dodo Juice Supernatural, i will redo it properly at some point in the future when the weather fixes up but right now i can't be arsed lol. I'd say i removed approx 50% of the defects after a days work. So, still to do, fit leathers, fit doorpods to leather doorcards, fit steering wheel, give the car another once over with intensive polish followed by final finish and then two coats of supernatural oh and dress the engine bay properly and fit my projector lights! Now to find the time.... lol Thanks for reading... Abdul

Righto, well the wiring was done in the car recently... Exhaust still needs adjustment as the tips are too close together and tbh i really dislike it, sounds good tough! Washed the car earlier today, gave the bay a quick clean... I also decided i'd start detailing the paint... the following shows the worst of the defects on the bonnet but the rest of the bonnet isn't much better. It's better now but still needs another 2 or 3 hits and maybe more but i won't go any further then that incase of burn through! Better pics soon, for now... Also, i recieved my steering wheel from Badgerman, top work and top fella THANKS!!! Crackle black boss Doorpods now wrapped in black vinyl, not the best job but meh! Thanks for reading and yes i know it's 3am. lol

Yup, its a shame though, one of the mids that came with em was popped!! Still not fitted em though, need to stop being so lazy lol.

Worthy replacement right there. FUGLY compared to a rado though... Any more info on the new one?

Pretty much what everyone else has said mate, love your rado, amazing package imo. Ever had the 0-60/100 timed? I'd imagine the launch is pretty damn naughty!

Originally fitted to Sukh's VRT iirc and then someone elses rado and now mine but wrapped in black vinyl.

Inc post for £20? We are talking about the same grab handles yeah? As in the ones you yank to shut the door lol. Sorry but i've had confusion over this before!!
