Hey mate, how do you polish wheels up? And also, how do you maintain them? To stop them corroding? A mate of mine has just bought some new wheels and he wants the lip and dish polished up after seeing this

I have no idea. I got them already polished, and I just got a buffing kit off ebay. lol.
Little bit of work done on the interior over the weekend.
My spraybooth (which blew over the next day). Keeps the smells and dust from coming into the house compared to if I was to spray in the garage.

No pics, but you've already seen it. lol.
Liked this shot, even though it's a crap phone pic. You can also see my blue heated lupo glass in my wing mirrors.

Wow, thanks.
From a guy on edition38. Spent nearly a year looking for them.
Looking awesome, almost wish mine still had d90s on. 
Need to get my plastics done aswell, just looking to find some decent fabric first.

Finally pictures of the plastics installed. Still not done the headlining, no one had any material when I went looking.

I know it's wonky. It's coming out to be wired up soon. It's just plumbed in at the moment.

Looks naughty mate
It's broken again.
As some may know it's sitting wonky.

Now this has happened.
I broke it by Nick Berger, on Flickr
Driving to college and it felt like it wasn't pulling as strong as usual, then bam, no power, car shaking like mad, EML on, then goes back to normal, then start missing again, then back to normal. Pulled over in a pub car park and scanned it, missfires on cylinders 1, 2 and 4 and error code 17964 - Charge Pressure Control: Negative Deviation.
Absolutely sick of it right now, so I drove it back to the garage I use and basically just said "fix it". The receptionist laughed when I reeled off the problems that all seem to have hit at once.
Supposed to be on the local club stand at the BHP Show on bank holiday Monday.

They couldn't look at it until Monday, so I took it home. A guy on my local forum who builds big power 1.8T's said he would look at it, so I took it to his house today. He gave the MAF a blast with cleaner and it's now working perfectly again. He pointed out that my filter had seen better days and one of my engine mounts was getting a bit spongey, so new filter ordered and BFI 0.5 engine mounts ordered.
I've got 1 more cosmetic purchase left on my list of things to order, and then it's time to start focusing on the engine.

I want to do mine in black suede. Leather looks too bondage style for my liking.
After getting the new engine mounts and top mounts fitted everything was going really well and I was finally starting to enjoy the car again. So much so that I even went for a random 2 hour drive through the country lanes on Saturday. Sunday I went to go out in it and the stupid thing wouldn't start. It's turning over but refusing to fire. I'm so sick of it that I've dumped it at the side of the road and am now getting about either on my bike, or by scrounging lifts off people.
Oh and when I was on the random drive I noticed that both front wheels are making an awful squealing noise that only stops when I brake.
