Whats the score with lights like this and MOT's etc???

Nice one. I have the OEM one which sounds like the noise made by making a mistake at the game Operation!

Ah I know the ones, d'oh!

I know not many good body panels around. I have a silver one in "mint" condition check it out. Haha sorry John, couldn't resist...

I got a set of clear sides if your interested? Plan was to change when I got my car painted but as I couldn't find any clear rears in time I left it standard. PM me with an email address if you want pics etc.

I wouldn't sell for under £5k now that it's been resprayed (with the 17" speedlines).

They had to do some cutting on the inside of the rear windows but they went back in and resealed them. The rest of the rubbers they just pulled off and reattached I think. I didn't pay for any in any event :D My camera really doesn't do it justice though.

Right here are some pics taken with my phone... Still got to fit the splitter and coilovers, so looks super OEM now bar the removal of the side strips!!! Still can't get the C/Locking back to life on the passenger door though so ordered a new pump and if that wont work I'll buy another door pump. The key on the drivers side is as stiff as anything!

Right this morning the drivers door is working ok but the passenger door won't budge. Using the key in the passenger door works the CL fine, but the key is incredibly stiff to turn. Might there be something I can adjust in the door lock that may have been over tightened???

Cheers, don't know why though cos it was fine when I dropped it off. they did say the battery went flat and it needed jumping but that's it?

Right car is back and looks fab, too dark for pics though but I have an alarm issue. I set it but the doors won't lock and there's a long groan from the back near the petrol cap. I've locked it with the key tonight but dunno what to do....? Help!!!!!!!!

I think if you want real noise places like longlife can do you a system which is tailored to your preferences, or if your feeling more flush try Hayward and Scott.

Will do, just booked my tickets.

Looks great, can't wait to get mine back. Saw it Friday when it was being wet flattened but forgot my camera phone. Hoping to have it back tomorrow or day after...

I'll be there on the Saturday sporting my Movember foliage!!! Not sure I'll be bringing the C though because I want to let the new paint harden before putting big/fast miles on it.

Cheers, Will be sticking it in the garage as much as possible in the meantime!!!

Just placed my order on the cleanyourcar site: Jetseal 109 and XXX wax. Some applicators and MF cloths and a mitt. I have a small vat of Meg's gold class shampoo in the garage still. Should have the car back on Friday so is it best to start right away or give the paint time to harden?

White and lowered spotted in Gendros, Swansea Friday afternoon 5ish?

Buitiful. It not named for irony. 9/10!!!!

Saw that badge on ebay too, anybody bought one (or anything) before from them?

Looking for a new badge for the back of the car as it's being resprayed I thought I'd freshen it up. Please PM me if you have one to sell. Ta, Pete.

Didn't mention it though they can do that kind of thing in-house I believe. I just gave them a bentley manual and said ring me if you get stuck lol. I think it'll look much nicer having the windows out and done properly

Door rubbers yes they said they are taking "everything" off. Re the rear 1/4s they said they are taking them out on the outside but Im not sure on the inside as it means removal of all the interior trim etc. I thought the windows might have been bonded in which would have made it a git of a job???

Been to see the car and it's near the end of the prep phase - really happy with the time they are taking over the car though. I should have taken some by the time I'd left as the rear windscreen was out by then and the front was on it's way out too so there'll be no tape lines or overspray I hope. Also really chuffed to see underneath the paint the metal is all good and solid and there have been no repairs made before my ownership - phew! :) Should have it back next Wed/Thursday with my Weitec adjustables on too. I'm looking for some new rear badges to freshen up the rear, VW have my a Corrado on order but I need a VR6 as obsolete - anyone...??????

Thanks guys!
