oh yeah forgot to say, im back on standard wheels now after selling my bbs's to rogers! pleased with the wheels, not as mint as i thought they'd be but matt made no promises so its all good! rear spacers are being ordered first thing monday and we'll see about getting some tidy tyres on them then! kinda defeated the point as i wanted to use the cash to pay off my overdraft but oh well!

Its a RAID one for the 6N polo. Looks the same as the one from Volksbits. Its soooooo close to fitting tho its untrue. It will go on this week tho.

Was 50 quid on ebay, polished one with middle adjustment. Pretty meaty looking but the welds aint the best.

I havent got any left now apart from the lot i'm gonna mix up, i didnt have a gallon of the stuff i got some on a group buy on detailing world. But your more than welcome to pop up and use the stuff i got left.

Should have seen my post about halfords 3for 2 offer on Megs stuff.

I've got the Megs mitt, and ordered a Eurow mitt, and its soo much softer, megs is now being used for the bottom half of the car.

I like clean and shiny, they sell Poorboys stuff, which all smell nice! Natty's blue smells like bubble gum

damn it i would but im working nights again for 2 days, ive just gone down to seat now and ordered a replacement drivers side front jacking point cover as the muppets in llantrisant B.E.T.S broke mine, they paid for one but i ordered a rear one by mistake and its too late to recifiy it so im paying this time! only a tenner thou so no big deal!

just picked up a new GSF panel filter too, im going to refit my airbox as i feel the green induction kit is affecting the pickup and throttle response, orginally had a green panel filter but i sold it and now im not in the financial position to be paying £30 + for what is just a air filter at the end of the day!

I use dans water magnet all the time, i like it!

how much was that catch tank matt? Im guessing its for your crank case vent pipe yeah?

forgot to say too ive had an idea, im been thinking rather than do a polished or black finish on the rocker cover what about using some UHT crackle effect paint which gives a similar finish to the rocker cover of a Honda twin cam VTEC unit? could look cool i think having a flash red motor!

opinions?
