Leonard

Yeah me :lol: I LOVE your 540 looks bloody beautiful. Iron fist in a velvet glove :grin: But ironically I only have 3k for a runaround so have also been looking at 4motion Bora's or Golf's LOL. Figured 4wd would be better in the winter than RWD, saying that bet if I get one we wont get any snow this year! Did I miss a thread about your Mk2, I have been considering one of them as well, but not sure for a daily :?

Blimey mate thats a run of bad luck there. Puts me running my oz alloy into the curb tonight into perspective! Hope it comes together soon so that you can get on with enjoying it 8)

That will be Matt aka 'Leonard'. Ahh, looked great on the move, was tempted to leave the traffic queue and join him on the twisties![/quote:3miaeeow] Hi mate you should have done :grin: Although its not quite so great going to Matlock now its a 50 limit and everyone does 35mph :sleeping: LOL Your car looked very nice, gave you a beep dont know if you heard it Matt

Ha ha fookin love that mate. Dont mess around do ya :lol: You had best take shares out in one of the major petroleum companies :grin:

Just got this years renewal, £60 up on last year. Why oh why oh why does the premium always go up each year! Meaning you have to go through the age old hunting around and haggling process only to end up with the same price you had last year from the same provider. Surely you should get rewarded for yet another year of careful driving :grin: Matt

I need to find my brochure, but Im pretty sure it was £2500 :nuts: for leather electric heated Recaros

Yeah agree with that And yes I have heat on the leather Matt

Love a bit of polished aqua sunshine goodness :norty: Nice work looks amazing 8)

Who's the guy? :grin:

Dont know if it helps mate, but mine are 17x7.5 ET30 and i have an easy cm room to spare in the arches. I would have thought ET40 8 inch would fit ok but you may have to roll the arches.

Check the two water pumps and the top of the radiator kneck pipe (mine has just gone there)

£350-£450 each? :shrug:

Love it! Cant believe they are winters! :grin: Dont you own any sh!t wheels to make me feel better :lol:

How much for some leather Sebrings? 8)

Leonard, the choc chip muffing is yours! not sure if I told you before or your just a mind reader but Im impressed on how you knew :notworthy: . Yup 17" RH Cups, which are due to arrive soon I hope. Will be stripping them back to allow for a full refurb, not sure what colour to do the centre's yet though Today I finished welding all the unecessary holes on the vr6 front slam panel ready for the strip and rebuild. Hoping to get this and the wheels done before gti inters. Ooo choc chip muffin my fave :grin: Dont know why but they just seemed the obvious choice! Quite like anthracite grey centres on the RH's not sure what it would look like with the aqua but nice wheels none the less!

Nice Porsche Cup splitties? 8)

Thats good to hear mate. You have just saved me £60k on a brand new GTR :grin: Look fwd to seeing you spam up the Corrado eventually

I spent two years (probably 20 weekends) and around £80 in parts trying to sort out the same problem. In the end after testing everything I rung an auto electrician and he sorted it in 2 hours for £80! I would never have found the problem either being a split wire behind the dash/bulkhead! Call in the experts is my advice :grin:

No dont think so mate. If you want to do a diy fit I think your better off with the 6 speed out of 2.0fsi. I keep looking at this and havent seen an easy diy fit/kit as yet

Nice mate looks like a good one. All very true points you make there about C ownership :grin: Do look better lowered but not too much. :grin: Plenty of info on here about what is best KW Variant 1 suspension gets the nod from most. Matt

Cant wait to see these on! 8)

They look good Judith 8) Has almost inspired me to paint up and fit my 288's and mk4 rears. Think I will have another beer first tho.... :grin:

Awesome cheers mate that looks even cooler! Crying out for a rear bias 4wd system and that characterful Audi 5cyl engine. I want it bad! :lol: :( :lol: Imagine this tuned to within an inch of its life with more howl, more induction roar and spitting flames :tongue: http://www.youtube.com/user/NemesisNG#p ... EwzIslLaas

There is a mint looking black one with AMD mods and Recaros on ebay at mo. Keep having to convince myself it would be a BAD idea!!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2006-VW-Golf-MK5- ... 35a96aae78

Oi I havent got any kids! :lol: Its my ideal everyday car, its not supposed to be yours LOL Have you seen the size of a golf boot with the seats down its pretty huge, bet its not far off an Audi A4 (whos boot is woeful for an estate) And its 4WD so will be fine in the snow :grin: And that Audi engine is a modern classic! I keep trying to convince myself I need a bigger car. But everytime I test drive one I am left disapointed. I live in the Peak District not Texas so had best get used to it... Thought an S4 would be a great car but the steering feel was shocking (just like my old S3). Do Audi make a car with good steering feel/feedback?????
