Nothing exciting, just a couple of bolts and washers from an X5.

The buying experience was very different from VAG tho, no "Oh that'll be 3-5 days", this time it was "By 12 on Monday"

That’ll be because they break so often they have to have the parts in stock


Badger5 Custom Map + TIP,
3”Custom exhaust, FMIC, Bosh 550’s, BC Coilovers, ARB’s +loads more.

Look much much brighter than the originals. Plus, they’re smoked so look pretty much black. So does the small light on the opposite side where the mirror is. Takes a bit of tug to get the caps off to be honest. Quite cheap on eBay to be honest.

Here’re the steps I used:

Yesterday I picked up some parts from @Manic172 (thanks again) and checked out the progress of his beast. It's looking very cool. Seriously, his rear arches are awesome (this is not a euphemism).

Then went to a friends place to check out his new workshop and the rebuild progress of his AE86 rally car. Will be going there more for work on my subframe.

Then started listing stuff from my parts spring clean in the For Sale section (Shameless Self Promotion time: check it out for some stuff you won't find often).

Today... going to try an experiment which will likely determine the fate of my spare PD150 engine. Pretty relaxed weekend all in really.

It worked, i checked your advert out and you have some smart goodies for sale.
Id be all over the springs and interior if i wasn't putting the car up for sale in the near future.

Yeah the leon suits it, I think it looks just enough what you've done obviously spacers on the front, when people camber their motors too look like space ships not into that but urs is nice. Good luck with side skirt extensions don't we all struggle with jacks to begin with the maxton skirts and front splitter does look good though

Right boys and girls..... we .... well most people have a long week end. What's everybody's plans.
Truth be told, I'll be wondering why I've still got a car, given I barely drive it at the moment and pay £130 to park it, £225 to insure it and nearly £200 to tax it.

That's the problem when you've had a car for fifteen years - you can't bring yourself to part with it. I know I'll miss it if I do sell it, especially given all the work I've put into it.

But then I drive it and...
