Apart from the normal things to look for when buying a car full stop. Rust/ bubbling on the roof guttering as well as the spoiler. Does the car go into all the gears without clunking and whining? (including whining when in gear) When pressing the clutch does it feel ruff when pressing it down, like its grinds in the middle, if so the pedal box could be on the way out. (that will probs make more sense if it happens on the car) Im running out of un-usual things now, alenator whine. IF it's been lowered check the arches and the wishbones etc etc Hope this helps, I'll have a think for more.

Close to £1000 if not over, again depending on the finish you decided to go on etc etc.

A whine when I accelerate
SamAtkinson replied to Oaten's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
Altenator on the way out, I know this is happening to mine. Whines like a little bitch. -
It was an optional extra when new. Dont come up often, not to my taste but maybe if all you were putting in the back was children under the age of 12 then you'd love it.

Hello and welcome, your plans sound great apart from the colour coding the front grill, odnt think that ever looks good. Keep the lower section of grill in the plastic and the upper grill the same, or black, but not silver. Just an oppinion, either way I'll look forward to seeing your progress.

Factory fitted? As in the VW factory? Thats news to me. I know that on one of the halfords sets the demo car is a lupo.

Thats odd and my only advice would be plug vagcom in and see if it brings anything back up, it's very hard to work out whats going on with your car from what's been said but I sure do hope you get it sorted.

How about 1800 paper clips? Seeing as you aren't after cash. I could also supply you with many other variables of 1800 things. For example, words or mathematical problems complete with solutions supplied at a later date so that you can mark your work. Just to get the ball rolling.

HE DOES A FULL FLIP!! Thats is mental. Good luck with the work on the car, I've had the battery off a few times and its never brought up any faults after so I wouldn't panic. -
Bang tidy! Everything looks very very tight in terms of fitment, very good effort.

Thats in the for sale section isnt it, under awesome gti. I know there couldnt be too many 220 bhp fabias about. That is unlucky dude but live by the sword die by the sword. And yes you can do some track days without a licence as it's private land, obvs only if the owners let you.
