Personally I'm a bit protective of my mobile number, but would have no problem popping it on the name card in the photo?
Another forum I was on was "scraped" and all e-mail addresses and phone numbers received very high levels of spam.
I absolutely understand the reasoning behind the changes, and to be honest welcome them. I haven't sold anything on here, but have bought a fair few bits and bobs. So far I've not encountered anything but other genuine club members :-)
-
Are they genuine ones or generic ones? Due to the shape of the rear bumper it is a little tricky to get the generic ones to fit. The genuine ones are held on by two screws and a big tab. It's the big tab bit that is hard to emulate.

dental floss and toffee wheel on a drill worked a treat for me on my black car.

Easy to remove. Take stereo out and undo 2 bolts. There is a reasonable amount of space ( this is where I but the GPS receiver for the MFD )

6N2 physically slot in, BUT, the legs are a narrower diameter and they don't grip in position very well. The pair with the curved legs work best in the front seats, and also if used in the rear sit flat with top of seats. The pair with straight legs are useless in front and sit up an inch or so in rear.
I can get you pics if you want though one of them is stripped down at the minute as I was looking at a leg swap, but it isn't going to work.

Hmmm im confused!
Ive got NS2's, 155s over a 6j rim...when i bought them and received them i was surprised as to how the tire wall looked stretched even though it was brand new and never been near a wheel....
If they are 155/55 R14 then they are specified for a 5inch rim on the Nankang website, but they don't publish a minimum and maximum on there.

Im not going to comment on if i think this is true or not but if anyone wondered this is a link to a tyre chart showing what you can and cant run on different wheels
http://www.tyres-pne...les-advice.html
Hope that helps people out
Yeah, but that chart says that you can only go minimum 175 on a 6j rim.
Like I said previously you can't just look at the width, you need to look at the individual tyre specs e.g. Toyo Proxes CF1 165/60 R14 are specced to be fitted to wheels from 4.5-6 inches wide.
Toyo are handy to look at as they publish the specifications on the website.
I don't run stretch personally, but think there is a lot of bs talked about it.
-
5j is the limit for 165 I believe? So they'd count :/
Will
Toyo make 165s that are specced for 6J at least
-
Spec varies by manufacturer and by size. e.g Toyo Proxes - Look at the specification tab here: http://www.toyo.co.uk/tire/pattern/proxes-t1-r#
195/45 R14 are 6J to 7.5J
195/55 R14 are 5.5J to 7J

I've seen it claimed that if you disconnect the battery for 15 - 30 mins, then reconnect and put the key in the ignition and turn to to ACC and leave it for 3 mins the car is supposed to do it itself? Is this one of those internet urban myths?
-
Mine does this, unless it is raining. I think mine is the door loom. Have you got a multimeter you could use to check?
-
What sort of postage would the GTI rear spoiler be? Take it the brake light is fully functioning?
-
Can't see why if they are within manufacturer specs. Obviously there are people running theirs outside that, but most should be ok.

+1 for Nightbreakers

Like I say I did it without much thought, I can't even remember!
I'm changing my side ones this week, so I'll have another look at the front ones and pay attention
-
I'm sure Lupoboz was about £39 for the full set.
-
Thats it - "the button" is the one to zero the mileage counter
-
I pulled bulb holder out, twisted orange bulb out, twisted silver bulb in, pushed holder back in. Finished. I've changed so many bulbs I did it without really thinking about it tbh.
-
It was a mega facepalm when I realised it was upside down.
-
full beam lights up the distance but not what's right in front of me? had this problem with the standard bulbs too
That is how they are designed to work :-/ Hence the other name for them of "High beam"
To use full beam you should be alone on a road and are likely to be going quite quickly (country roads, a roads, motorway). You should be looking in the distance, not right in front of you.
-
There are a few from Falkirk area on here (including me) and at least one from Edinburgh.
I recently got front and rear mudflaps from Lupoboz (amongst a lot of other things) can't recommend him highly enough.
-
If it makes you feel better I made the same mistake. But i only discovered after I'd done this and got my multimeter out:
-
Not seen this one on the forum yet? Does it belong to a lurker on here?
Parked up opposite the jet garage.
This weekend I saw a load of Lupos on my travels. A yellow one on black sport alloys in Kelty. Blue one at roundabout at Antonshill. A yellow Sport at Stirling.
On another forum I was a member of they got cards done up so if you saw a nice motor that fitted in with the forum you could card them. That doesn't happen here does it?

Would a toffee wheel work? Does a grand job after removing bump strips and badges. The glue might be too much for it though.

The driving instructors teach you if your turn off is at 12 o'clock or before use the left lane, if it is after 12 o'clock then right lane, unless road markings show otherwise (which they often do round here).
