SIMONG

after having my mk4 golf for about 2 years now i just noticed that it has this last night! all thanks to this thread!

im after the box which locates at the ream beam. got a price for a new one but juts seeing if any one has got one for sale first! Si.

right then im on it!

bump for tomoz!

i was only thinkin about this the other day and how i could do with one. can you get them in black? by 98' passat do you mean the new shape?

aahh the rustic look eh!

ok good to know, still up for a meet though!

according to your website you dont cater for children under 12 so thats me out, but im up for a meet if theres a few going so count me in if this happens!

sent it to the chap today to get sorted but still not decided on colour he said he could chrome it, but i was like hhmmmm not sure about that! did think about black and then get it detailed. but if its black might not see all the oil and cr#p that gets on it. thinkin i'll play it safe and go with silver/grey

after fitting Rob's (aka Undulttice) G60 with a fancy new powder coated rocker cover on saturday i've decided to get mine done as it looks poo compaired to his now! but not sure what colour to go for. first i was gonna go with silver/grey but after some "words" with a few people on sat saying my engine bay looked mis-matched i thought of blue to match the samco's but as the G is green thought this may look a bit turd! so i thought about doin it green to match the car but then wont match the bits in the bay. so came up with a couple: silver with blue inlay and VW logo? sticker bomb (so its completey different) it then lacquer it, but wasnt sure how the stickers would get on with the heat! get it detailed i.e. scallops, VW logo,etc any thoughts?

yeah thats no worries, weekend of the "royal wedding" should be ok for me. just let me know how you get on. Si.

yeah thats a fair treck for a small'ish/local meet. maybe in the summer months when the weather is better i could be worth it though. like i say it was rammed!

hopefully going to this if any one else is interested. last time i went it was rammed, with a good varity of motors there to. details here: http://www.un-phased.co.uk/ Si.

nice one dude, saves me hunting around for one, found a few on here but postage on glass is bit of a problem. might go to "unphased" on thursday if you fancy that? if not can meet some point next week over the bank holiday etc as im off all that week.

yeah i can see, makes the candles ive got in mine look rubbish! i thought about trying some LED bulbs see if that makes a difference. got some in the main beam and there fairly bright.

lookin good there Phil! really diggin the wheels! nice colour and the backs look wicked. what you done to make the headlights so bright?

still need to get over and get that door at some point Tom.

just been going through the history of my car last night and found the receipt for the adapters and they are 25mm all round. i have 7j up front and 8j up the back and they sit quite well! tyres are 195/40 at the front and 205/40 at the back. but need to get round to sort the 9j's i have for the rear and then i can put the 8's up front. i will have some pics but they will be at home.

i didnt get that far i was just lookin, but yeah thats an insane amount of postage!

good work there Aide, a lot more then most would attempt, including myself! i was only really looking at your exhaust in comprison to mine to seee if it was the same make, then got struck into the thread and like i say good effort with all the work you have done. just one thing i wanted to bring up but dont want to come across like i beatin you down for your efforts! when you put the filler flap back on, should there not be a hole in the body work for the lug on the flap to sit into and lock on?

i found this the other week and liked the look of it but mainly because its a "bolt on part" making me think you dont have to drill the strut tops to fit it http://www.eurosportacc.com/eurosport_strut_stress_tie_bars.htm

sunny north wales??? have you not been there before? im thinkin of going depending on wither i can get someone to look after my boy or if my girlfriend is working? i could bring my boy but he would prob get grumpy and bored but he is only 19months so cant hold that against him really!

ive been thinkin about changing the colour of my D90's to anthracite grey with a polished lip, but not sure if i can be arsed. ive got a set of 9j for the rear's that im gonna trail run, if they are any good i will get them refurbed in anthracite.

what timescale are you looking to fit the extra parts? if its gonna be months then i wouldnt. but if a couple of weeks then i would be tempted to declar them first. but you never know what could happen in the mean time.

ok then, so how many of you have been out today and washed yours? didnt mange to do the whole car but i did the door shuts, door frames, boot shut, underside of the boot lid, front panel, inner wings and strut tops. they looked loads better afterwards. think they will need another couple of good going overs though.
