rules are rules

Nice subtle touches though, was it hard to wrap the bits in carbon fiber? I tried that once years ago and made a complete mess of it, ever since then I've always been afraid to try it again, I know you can get good stuff these days.

Nice work

The carbon fibre is not difficult as long as you take your time, use a hair dryer to heat it up and a scalpel to cut it. I found it best to let it cool down before trimming it.

Well another week of total rain! I was hoping to finish off the strips with g3 and a polish but someone up there is being an arse. Maybe this week. God knows when I can get the calipers done?

Now I have tt pedals Well the break and accel, cost £10 together on ebay so even if i pay full price for the clutch, I think i've done a good deal. I can put pics up?

The clocks are easy to take out, if you look for the audi a3 clock removal guide for fixing the digital display.

Well i've been away from here a while, the closest I've got to new mods the following since the summer:
new back bearings, back discs and pads, new cat, and cam belt.
This weekend i had the passenger top mount/bearing replaced, but I was still getting a knocking and creak noise. Further searching by my bro in law (vw tech) has revealed a bloody crack in the chassis leg!

I don't think I will ever get a splitter now

Seems i only have bad luck with this car. The garage that did my exhaust last year snapped a bolt off on the turbo. Cheapest price I have to get it sorted is £170, add that to the new rear caliper i need and thats Christmas bombed. And I thought Renaults were bad luck.
