Which ones you got 912 or 452, can get the 912 fully fitted for £65 p/c and the 452 for on average an xtra £10.

Bad new is that the bite point on the clutch seems to be getting a tad lower, hasnt started to slip yet, or at least that ive noticed anyway, so will have to keep tabs on it

452's

right so been busyish today, finally decieded to remove the god awful door protectors and the TDi badges from the front wings.

there is a small imprint of the TDi badges but not massively noticeable, and besides it will lighten up over time anyway

 

[AndrewJB]

Get some polish on it they will go

 

[thePHILosipher]

thats tomorrows job before the meet, i gave it a quick wash on the weekend but no polish or wax so it needs doing again to try and give it some depth of colour.

Do you think it looks better without the badges??

 

[AndrewJB]

I debadged mine and then put a TDI Badge where my FR badge used to be

My Ibiza was fully debadged tho looked better

 

[thePHILosipher]

i like the rear end of the car tho, the facelift IBIZA badge personally looks good as does the FR, I am tempted by putting a new TDi badge on the rear left of the car, or a TDisport.com window sticker, as i defo want the TDi stamped somewhere (so people know they've been dieseled )

 

[thePHILosipher]

right well been one of those weeks so between movies on movie day and to make the best of the spring like weather the car got a damn good scrub, took 3 hours and i was dripping in brake dust soaked water, polish splatters and the like, but my god it was worth it

 

[pjdj]

how is your standard shocks coping with the lowering springs mate? ive got a chance of 40mm lowering springs (apex) for my vrs and wondered about running on standard shocks

 

[TheBigGM]

You thought about painting the chrome ring around the S badge red?
