thank you for taking the time to look though :)

oddly i had seen this one fb only an hour or so ago with the guy asking what his interior was & if it was rare & worth money next thing it is on ebay

how about our friendly VW guy on here jim, Thursdave? he gives us max discount on stealer products also, what is the stated coverage of the tub?

i found some auto glym tar remover was superb in producing a clean surface to re-mount the side strips on the gf's storm it also made removing the old sticky stuff very easy just dont leave it on the paint for too long lol

a decent car body tape should be ok i would have thought - not so sure on the silicone as it could give a wonky fit & be a beatch to remove if you wanted to

cool my thought was always about the degraded flakey material part as i am unsure if it could be replaced. i did wonder how they would look with that just removed as i will never put roof bars on lol it is possible to get a primer which is designed to work with plastic, which is meant to adhere to the plastic & then allow the paint to adhere to the primer i have a feeling i used the one from halfords when i refurb'd the 7 slat grill for the valver & the results were nice - pics in my members thread i guess if you then use a flat matt black it would kind of replicate the OE finish do you have anything in mind for the sticky strip on the underside?

winner!! are you planning on refurb'ing them?

maybe even break out the old rave pack tapes :D

only madonna ;)

i have projects galore at home, what with the house renovation & 2 rado's!! unfortunately i cant bring that work to work :( lol

our place shuts between crimbo & new year but i added an extra day crimbo is always my longest holiday period of the year, i said to the gf the other day that i should really change that next year & have the longer holiday in the warm summer lol

yep - no updates before the holidays means trying to while away the 8 hours ho hum, last day till 4th Jan

that is the best way to get a happy MPG lol

i would love this bonnet if i hadnt just spent out on 4 pots :(

blimey! i tend to average out around 28mpg ish over a few thousand miles MFA reports somewhere between 32 to 34 mpg on my 14 mile journey to/from work but i have seen just over 36

ha ha i keep the MFA on oil temp in the VR too (5 clicks on the MFA button) - not in the valver though i dont find the MPG output too bad on the VR but then i have only been pottering in it for ages - hopefully that will change once i can have some confidence in the brakes ;) MPG is kind of a guess in the valver as sometimes it flips to very high readings or 99.9 lol

my day every day at work!!! lol dreaming of yellow 4 pots is helping a tad though

yup that would be the one Mic!!

ha ha idly curious - careful with that cat Jim lol i am terrible for watching my water & oil temps, almost to the point of OCD lol

good news - valver is fixed & ready old sigma cat1 ripped out but turns out it wasnt that - save complications in future by it not being there though & the fob had stopped locking the doors anyhoo it was a disintegrating distributor - replaced & all gravy now - collecting later :) also mechanic said he has checked the HiSpec box & all parts etc look to be there. apparently they are VERY yellow lol i just hope they look how i envisage them with the blackberry body & black wheels

those temps all sound fine Jim & in line with what my VR does post Stealth work engine warm up time will be effected a little by outside temps but as you say do the rad hose test to check your stat as that will give you peace of mind FYI my fans come on a lot more post stealth work but i had all 3 water temp sensors changed during it also, on my VR the oil dash reading is a steady 6 degrees above its actual temp. I know this as Vince did a check for me with a laser temp sensor after id has some haywire readings (which were found to be due to a split wire on the connector for the oil temp sensor) you may also be experiencing a higher efficiency from your newly rebuilt engine, possibly giving you the slightly lower temps maybe

at least you are driving it though Jim :)

tidy Jim! & good girl - hope you enjoyed the feeling & it helps you restore your love

ha ha thank you kind master ;)
