I'd be interested in the fogs if you dont like them mate 
nearly got mine running on the bike carbs this evening, but i give up as im tired and wanted a beer lol

So i wasn't sure about my retro Lucas fogs I won on the bay, I offered one up to the front of the car to see if it looked okay or if they were going to be gash.
TBH I was quite pleased, I think they're alright. Since I decided to keep them, I gave them a nice polishing yesterday and they came up really nice.
before (actually more like during)
after
So on to the next thing, spacers.
Does anyone on here know where I can get some wheel bolts for a mk2 polo that are 20mm longer than standard?
Unfortunately, the ones i got with the spacers are too long so the rear wheels dont turn with the spacers on! I dont really have the right tools to cut them shorter - at least not without some finger removal, I dont fancy dremeling them lol
What would you lot do? I need some ideas, I want to try cutting them tbh i hate the idea of spending money on wheel bolts.

Didn't you buy this car to save money?
damn you and your sensibleness
actually it's saving me a fortune in petrol, insurance, tax, servicing etc etc. I might have spent a bit on it when i got it, but it's mint and i've still got a ton of cash left over from the LCR.
people underestimate the running costs of the LCR, things like tyres, brakes and just consumables really add up.
I can buy 4 tyres for the price of 1
not to mention the value of this is increasing but the lcr was going down.

sorry mate
hence why I got the passat
money you have saved is getting spent he he!!
Maybe some of the money is being spent, but the whole point is the monthly costs. I am spending a 1/4 on insurance, about 1/2 on tax and petrol and consumables are sooo cheap. i dont even wanna think about the bill if I bought a petrol tank and steering rack for the LCR, the polo was £85 for the tank and £65 for the rack.
I've never been happier, honestly I get so much back from this car, it lights up my face every time I jump in. Proper fun, without the turbo lag, running cost and paranoia about leaving it in a car park. Did I mention that it turns more heads?
