  1. always worth getting a 2nd opinion how far are you from Stealth? initial cost sounds about right but be prepared for it to climb, & potentially very quickly i had a head rebuild at stealth & ended up chasing ailing parts round once new ones were installed, resulting in a cost over what you have been quoted unfortunately you cant tell what might start failing or what else might need renewing until you make a start personally, & i know others will differ on view, but i would discount an R32 swap (which could potentially work out cheaper) as it really removes the heart & soul of the VR - which is the 12 valve engine
  2. indeed m8! i nearly typed that very sentence too lol im thinking of adapting them to put in the VR hopefully
  3. ha ha - marmite wheel - very true & i never did make up my mind on them back in the day
  4. they look like the oldskool TSW venom's but think they have the 'S' schmidt logo on them
  5. tidy! thanks lilfuzz - i nearly just dropped you a PM instead of a wanted thread ;) lol have you one in good condition & heat element that works pls? :)
  6. hi lilfuzz yes it is the outer rubber that follows the up & over contour of the window - i think it attaches as the bottom corner of the window & then by the wing mirror (i tried to take the pic to show it) do you have good ones of both sides pls? my drivers has a crack & the passenger has a bump thanks
  7. Hi mick my early valver has grey OE door pods & they both have good grey OE speaker covers (as well as spare covers but one is a little cracked) would you like to discuss a PX via PM? EDIT - PM sent :)
  8. hi all i have a split on the drivers side window rubber but my passenger isnt too decent either - has anyone got any good ones for sale pls? it is the rubber in the pic for example (easier than a description lol)
  9. hello does anyone have a decent wing mirror glass for drivers side pls? i brought one off ebay a wile ago but the fit wasnt right & i want to replace it thanks
  10. colour choice is personal, for me red is a bit common & chavvy but i guess it would work with the blue body i went with yellow on my HiSpec's as ive always liked the GT2 calipers being that colour again for me, the yellow looks superb against the blackberry body how about a neon green kind of colour? ive seen the sportier behemoth cayenne peppers & alike have a cracking green caliper

    Bad VR6 noise

    ouch!! im no expert but i wouldnt associate the louder of those noises as tappets good luck - it certainly doesnt sound healthy the poor thing
  12. id like to go but sadly distance & cost is too much - off to the website thanks delfinis!!
  13. AFIK the VR received the 'wider track' as part of the early / late revision, whilst it also received the 5 stud pattern as such i believe all late vehicles would have the same front bumpers, only early or crossover year vehicles may have a slightly narrower front bumper (about 10mm each side i think) a call to VW wit the chassis number should get a 100% answer
  14. ha ha i reckon it needs that much just for the bloody repair panels & welding lol
  15. WTF!!?? that is an absurd price i would have guessed at around 100 notes max
  16. a lot is an understatement!! lol dont think i have ever seen a car with that many car park dings in a door
  17. pleasure m8 - happy to help :) sorry, not sure on the part availability but pls do post back here once you have found out as i may need them in the future
  18. my initial thought is 'god damn if only i could afford your LM's!!!' lol after thought is 'why didnt the gf & i keep her spare set of solitudes as i could have offered you them as part of a trade' PMSL seriously though - the LM's are & look awesome! i understand your motive for OE look but personally i think the LM's look much nicer than solitudes would which would move my train of thought to if you could have a set of solitudes as show spares
  19. tidy - hope i can get my gasket off ok too linky for bummi - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nextzett-Gummi-Pflege-Flege-Car-Rubber-Stick-Door-Restorer-100ml-/162516660510?epid=1005414647&hash=item25d6bf711e:g:ar4AAOSw32lYwD4A
  20. indeed it does - just watched the video im going to order some & give it a go :)
  21. found it & yes it is for a G60 to VR6 conversion - pic below with part numbers
  22. hi fender i believe the adhesive backed felt is the right stuff for the airbox relining - that is what i kindly got sent by someone on here not sure on the vents though
  23. sorry i should have clarified - thats kinda what i meant as the G60 is a 1.8 lump, as is the 16v i have - thus if the conversion i mentioned was correct it should apply to you too :) 91 will be an early so putting the late caps etc on the vr coilovers should get you there - i have some printed out info that someone posted here for me somewhere, will go check for you
