marcusgrant Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 If you keep it long enough then you will one day be able to afford to do all that! could get a second job or get good at online poker? thats my plan, i've just bought a book on how to win online and i think it might just work! lollooking very cool though. i just decided that i need one of them sunglass holder things, tired of having to get them out the case everytime i need them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 they are normally fine tucked up under the passenger visor.. then someone got in the back and the passenger headrest hit the sun visor and popped the lense out of my diesel shades I plan on keeping this for aslong as I can, so small steps.perhaps when you're good Marcus you could give me some poker tips ?

Philplop Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 I have no idea how I managed for so long without a sunglasses holder! Best mod I've ever done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTdi Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Dont need a sunglass holder in the mk1! It was possibly the most functional dash ever! The cup holders are perfect for a set of aviators, or the shelf where the fuse box panel is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jowey Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Hay Jowey! Just read the first post on this thread! Glad my Arosa was good inspiration for you!Its looking awesome so far mate, really miss mine tho I can imagine it being the perfect car for MK mate.they are the best cars for round abouts. quick in.. quick around and quick out the other side.Was very sad to see yours go, I wish I had the money at the time to buy itbut it does look as if its still being looked after which is very good.Soo today we parked together and Grandad Nando still showing of the lowz Loose the helpers i think i lost mine :/ haha love it joweyYeh Nando's bumper is definitely lower (long live Nando ! ) Diego's subframe,arbs,exhaust are all so close to the floor though I literally wouldn't be able to drive it if it was any lower. God I hate 8V's and their flat undersides.Jeremy! I can't believe neither you nor Jowey got a photo of the two together!! Diego needs to meet osc and fern and osc need to reunite! LOL Let's all get together really soon!!xWe failed on so many levels. Once Nando's painted up we'll get a shoot on the go.Crazy low , you must be brave driving that around! Looks awesome though!'Dirty Stancing' sticker made me smile Thank you mate I think brave.. my girl thinks stupid.Hey its November nothing wrong with a few sparks and fireworks.(as long as those ins't the airbags going off )If it makes you feel any better my cars not been washed in a loooong time either Makes me feel heeps better.I'm crushing on the hoopty 'DK' spec mismatched wheels too mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
