What did you and your MK2 do today?

Is the undertray rear fixings secure?
Sounds like it maybe the undertray flapping once at speed.
Just a thought

Urm not 100% sure where you mean?

I just took it to a mate who works at a garage, had a quick drive and he seems to think that the top of the struts are loose - so over the week as the vibrations have made it worse. Sounds like a pretty good stab to me, will get it taken somewhere on Tuesday and ask them to make sure everything is secure.

Found out I had a head gasket leak.

I've had it on a skoda octavia that had a flapping noise with a vibration in the car and it was the 2 rear fixings of the undertray missing.
When the car reached about 60mph it started and stopped once you slowed down.
The diesels have a different undertray to the petrols and fix in to the alloy subframe.
If you look under the car you should be able to see if the plastic tray is secured at the rear.

Ditto. On a C5 sounded like the engine was falling out. Undertray had been damaged by something and was flapping around. Was hard to spot when stationary as it went back into place.

Fitted my Gti pedals, new mats, armrest and new rear wiper. Can't believe I went this long without an armrest, easily the best thing I've purchased for my FR so far.

Amen to that!

Had a go at vinyl wrapping to see if I like it or not. If I keep it then I'll probably get a professional job done on it as what I've done looks crap up close!

Just need to do the scuttle now buddy.

Saw or dremmel lucky surround will cover rough edge

Simple, lift bonnet, remove 8-10 torx screws along the bottom, remove bonnet felt(mines in the bin now), use pliers to push the clips through bonnet, unclip the washer jets from scuttle and off it comes.

Mine is in carbon wrap now.

Had to add about a litre of oil to the engine as it was pretty much on the min line for some reason :S

Does the vinyl take very well to the rough surface of the scuttle or did I rub it down smooth first?

 

[Masterkm]

Its applied well tbh, just had to put little pin holes in some places where it bubbled again after a week or so and now its stuck down well, just heated the vinyl a little bit too much in one place.

Looks decent and alot better than standard

Just over two weeks ago it was traded in - not being advertised as of yet because my private plate hasn't come off.

....argh. And I'm broke as sh**

And N/S front is also knacked from when my wife curbed the car big style. I think a VW Fox is more in my price bracket...this is getting too expensive
