Wheels done!! You will see at the 01/04 meet!! Was a slight increase in price but less than travelling down south!!

Get some pics up!

After a hell of a lot a elbow grease i have nearly finished off the wheels today, they're all sealed, but need a couple of coats of wax and they'll be finished until i get them refurbed/refurb myself. The contaminants were to baked on it took over 5 hits of Iron X to remove them! Even that didn't get rid of it completely so i had to crape it off with my a cut up credit card. Not going to put them on just yet because im enjoying the good fuel economy with the small wheels on!

I have also put my engine cover back on and taken that daft alloy bodge piping off, my filter had fallen off and was sat in the engine bay!

I've also used the supplied brackets to secure the HID Ballasts. They were just secured by double sided tape before.

Right i've fallen out of love with the car. I need to sort the look out!

I want to go for the motorsport (seeing as i already have motorsport wheels).

I'm contemplating getting some 4300k or lower k bulbs to give me some yellow headlights. I may also do the same with the fogs.

I'd also like to get some camber shims, i already have a bit of negative camber on the rear from lowering, but i kind of want more!

Cant think of what else? Maybe some OEM looking stickers (not tacky!)?

Thoughts and opinions welcome.

If you've fell out of love with it, best thing to do is to sell up. That's what I've just done....

Do what I'm doing jord. Just test drive a pd100 and it was ok but gearbox was ****ed! Having a turbo was awesome lol. It actually moved haha. Off to test a FR TDI next lol


Sam.

Yeah i've driven a golf Pd100 before, it feels a fair bit quicker than mine, but its runs out of puff so easily, once its past 60 it just trundles.

Ideally i'd have another ibiza next, maybe a Pd130 but i'd love a 20vT, most probably an FR, Cupra insurance is silly for me, even more for a PD160!

I do want to get rid! It's the engine! Too slow, absolutely no kick in it at all!
