FK and Inpro do the lights and there are loads of people selling them.

 

VW bushes or upgraded to poly bushes?

Poly-Bushes m8 I found a place that sells them http://www.polyurethanebushes.com/index ... th/140_143 , Just wondered if anyone knew any other places preferably cheaper .

 

whats 8v rado like taking off and at low revs junkie , If i get revs up to 4000 and keep it up above its a lot of fun and it seam like 3rd gear goes on forever .

Well you need to look at my thread mate, it was a G60 so i cant say what an 8v feels like, and its turbo'd now, but to answer the question i think all rados like 3rd gear, it can be really docile at low revs depending on gear used and once it reaches 3000-3200rpm its on full 1.5 bar boost so really shifts then.

Yeah I realised after ide posted that , I looked at your car and read some of the spec other day when i was browsing the gallery , very nice car indeed some top pics aswell , i definatley think less is more when it comes to asthetics and the more going on under the bonnet the better .
