what have you done to your car today ?

Standard UK plates...front is white, rear is yellow.

Why not all white or all yellow? So I google it. Fun facts:

Visibility and distinction: The color combination facilitates visual identification of vehicles and helps to easily distinguish the front from the back of a vehicle.

Safety: The white color at the front can improve the vehicle's visibility for drivers coming from the opposite direction, especially in low light conditions. The yellow color at the rear is more visible to drivers behind, which helps to avoid rear-end collisions.

Here, we use all like this:

I assembled some bits instead of destroying them for a change.

Great job! They are on mint condition. Are those powerflex bushes?

Quick question, btw. Did you manage to get this bearing out easily? With a pressure jack? I have to do this on mine...

I always fit Superpro bushes on my cars and I used a bearing puller tool with the hub clamped in the vice, they're tough old bastards to remove / refit!

Yes, I think the UK and The Netherlands are the only ones to feature yellow (NL for both front and back).
Everywhere else in Europe is white. Belgium use red text on white and Monaco use blue text on white.

One day I hope to add this to my mk1, love how they look with a few tweeks.

Well you all probably know but for those that don't, autodoc has saved me a little fortune, ordered the sachs sintered clutch Puck, and 2 oil filters for 240 including delivery with no import duties. It's like aliexpress with the prices changing constantly every day, so new clutch in when weather gets better, black Friday and cyber Monday prices have helped .

Your right there pal, I was just unsure with customs as over 135 and we pay a small fortune but they add our vat, can see this becoming handy here an there. All about timing.

When I bought my sports cat from a German seller it cost £200 so I was expecting a bill for VAT, but the seller put it down as £129 which meant I didnt have to pay anything extra, then when I bought my cat back again from Germany it cost £350 but the seller put it down as £350 so I had an extra £70 to pay when it came into the country.

That's what I was worried about as customs can be expensive, especially when sellers won't mark it down, some try to help as they know they may struggle otherwise to sell. Least I now know.

Well, another one scraped from the To Do list.

My homemade pressing hub worked like a charm! But must be at a perfect level so the bearing won't bend and became stuck and therefor unusable.

Hi Mty

Hey bro, how you doing?

 

[BadBoy03]

Hey bro, how you doing?

Good thanks mate, you?
Nice to see you on again.
Received my black & silver SCN valve covers today & they look a bit special
Unfortunately I need to clean the car first before putting them on the wheels, black does not hide the dirt lol.
Will put a pic up when on.
