That's a weight off mate well done like you say just happen's to be that time unfortunate but you have to do it sometime's I hope you are sticking around on here

This is a conversion kit you will still need the handles themselves

No worries mate :thumbleft:

Nowt wrong with the darkside mate Good luck :thumbleft:

Did you just buy this because you couldn't get rid of plate? Good to see it has gone to a good home your the man for it Bill Well done :thumbleft:

Thank's chaps been out on the bike again today with the good weather and it's a good time to think about the car and what order to do stuff in. On the way back say these changing times makes me think what is going to happen regarding our cars in say 10/15 years time. Food for thought ;)

As usual the thread is going the wrong way even with some sensible people trying to get it back on track. The initial request was for "PICS" of smooth engine bays not what your personal opinion of them was, if you really want to post about this start a thread maybe called "what does everybody think regarding smooth engine bay's" Yes it is that easy. This is not aimed at anyone in particular so keep the toy's in the pram please.

Thank's Ian but I can't take any credit mate that was all down to Goldie he is fast becoming the man on here which is totally deserved

Mate you are a legend for doing what you are doing I/We/All on here will help you mate with whatever they can it's about a collective effort yes to a certain extent the main work is not really in this so you deserve all praise coming your way bud and your overall vw ethic/view. :thumbleft:

You are shaping up to be a legend mate keep doing what you are doing top respect :salute::salute:

Good man Keep the two of them :thumbleft:

I have to admit i have a severe fetish for these but only a GT would do for me missed out on one by a couple of hour's a couple of year's ago regretted it ever since as I knew how good a car it was ah well can't win em all eh ;)

I only just took the photo mate you hadn't missed it on the previous one :) There is plenty more to come that I haven't even hinted at yet some good some bad all depending on preferance. I aint doing this for anybody but me though if folk's like it cool if not it's their right to disagree I'll still be driving it whatever. Thank's for all the positive comment's guy's it is really appreciated I am on a learning curve with this car but have to say the UP's really are great. More update's soon.

Ditto Bobby let us know man.Have you moved on the Corrado? You seem to buy and sell car's like me and Goldie buy and sell wheel's (only got 5 set's at the mo) Where did you find this by the way?

Ian what suspension was that with? As I know you have changed your setup to what I have got ready to go onto mine however I'm not sure if I'll change mine yet plenty of other thing's to do first

I do believe you were eyeing these one's up yourself Michael just need the Red/Gold to complete the set.

Thanks Michael I'm not totally up to speed with BBS's yet. Jamie the reason I bought the centre's was to match with this not sure if you have seen it before also something I owe Bill for. It's an absolute beauty of a wheel feels awesome just hope everything else I do does all the good bits justice.

Here's a wee teaser pic for all you BBS fans Hope you like ;)

You can't actually get these anymore Sean unless it's from a hoarder not "available from BBS" I assume your's are slightly smaller on your wheel's mine being 80mm one's your's are slightly cheaper for a set like mine around the £150 mark mate.

No mate but BillCor is alway's involved if the word BBS is mentioned. I'm not having a go as I am in his debt for finding such a mint set of Electric Recaro's and selling them to me he's a top bloke.

Ian I had no idea these were your's nevermind Jay Renshaw's are they not your cup of tea or did Cazza twist your arm for them. Cazza I think possibly to keep the other half happy Michael had to get rid they won't be going anywhere anytime soon that's for sure Jamie Thank's man I was a little gutted I missed your's but another Scotsman beat me to them fair and square which is why I had to have these one's the finish is amazing mate. Along with the Black/gold centre cap's I got today I have a spare set of centre cover's coming which will give me the option to run either the silver or Black/gold without having to mess about with removing them I will complete the set with Red/gold centre's I am already on the case regarding these. One more piece of the jigsaw sorted plenty more to come yet....

Have to agree with you there are plenty on here who tend to think their way is the way to do it end of story. Sorry no if that's what you want to do do it it's your car matey. There are I'm sure some on here who hate mine because it's got an R32 engine in it but then I don't really care I'm not trying to win people with my car it's only a car at the end of the day. Your's is looking well mate keep up the good work.

Thank's Bill they really are Mint as Goldie got them refurbed by "the polisher" who has done an exemplary job on them. Dox regarding weight I'd say they are about the 20kg mark but maybe less they are not heavy I was surprised how light for a 17" rim they are.

I do believe he is on Edition Jim I think he runs an RS4 if it's the right/same person I'm thinking of.

It is hard to beat Jim after living in South Central Rochdale for getting on 20 years it is nice to be back up here :) That's a view of Arran from Troon seafront incase anyone was wondering :)
