nice improvement with the sidelights :D need to do something with the rear wiper though, at least get an aero one!

There's a story about that.....

I did order one off ebay. Got it through the post and it was just the wiper rubber. They advertised a bit wrong in my opinion but stand their ground. Even though the picture showed a wiper blade AND arm. Just waiting for the next pay packet and will get one! :D Running very close to the wire this month...

No more candle power :)

:D

Gorgeous car. Got a soft spot for R32's... Dont suppose youve got a link for your side lights aswell have you??

ta

Cheers dude! I do too that's why I bought one! :) The sidelights on these are different to the sidelights on the SEATS. Unless yours is the same? Are yours the flat fitting or the bayonet fitting?

I should be on the Vagowners club stand now! :D But if I'm not it'll be in the car park. But 99.9% sure I'll be on an outside clubstand!

The wheels ARE on now! :)

Pics of refurbed wheels!

Sent these off to Lepsons (Swindon branch) for refurbing. They were badly curbed all the way round, and one wheel had a bad scuff over 2-4 spokes. They've been acid dipped, sand blasted, filled/repaired, and powder coated. I think they look spot on!

Even done a brilliant job of the inside dish too! :)

I've coated them in paint protection, and then put some of my HD wax (inside and out) of the wheel to try to keep them in as good condition and make it as easy to clean as possible.

Ah you're no fun are you? :lol:

Yes - ordered a Milltek Non Res cat back. I will be going for the Sports Cats and the Milltek Manifolds aswell, but am starting from the back and working my way forward :)

Well it was always on the cards with an R32 lump under the bonnet ;)

should sound lush, I've heard all the youtube vids, but not a patch on a real life example :p

Back to front is the way erm... forward lol. No point getting manifolds and cats if its gonna get bunged up by a standard cat-back setup.

Haha! And if I'd done manifolds first, I'd have had to have fitted them - refitted the rest, them taken them off and refitted them again when I wanted to change. And - cat back will sound nicer first too :D
