  1. When I first put the TH Mono's on mine a lad at work asked me why I had put 4 space savers on.
  2. Even if it passes the emissions test, technically it should have a cat or it will fail. That's when the new laws come in next month I think.
  3. If you're not lookin to spen loads, Decat, straight through exhaust and a panel filter should help it along.
  4. PhilJ in the Jackson Tuning section of Club Polo is usually the cheapest. His are the same as TA Technix/Jamex/JOM/eBay specials, etc, but he gets them direct from the manufacturer before the branding is put on.
  5. It's not bola green. Even searching on google images doesn't bring a lot of Bola Green pictures up though. Check your paint code and google that to be sure.
  6. Most of the stuff is gone! I'm gonna hold for when Kam sells his after seeing it the other day.
  7. My favourite was a Clio 197 with "CL10 OMG". ANd I'd have to vote R8 LOL above H3Y UP. Partly because it's spaced correctly, but mostly because I think it's really funny.
  8. Yeah, it probably is him Chris, as far as I know it's the only black Fabia VRS in the country, possibly even Europe. He said he saw the pink seats coming up in his mirror and thought "I know who that must be". Then you passed him and he passed you (or something) then you went your separate ways.
  9. It's Picola's Sport. Also, my mate spotted you the other day Mitch near Bishop, I guess you were coming back from Tweddle's house. He was in a black Fabia VRS. He liked it.
  10. Lupos aren't canbus. I believe the rcd200 just needs turning back on, don't think you need to restart the car. It's probably more an of annoyance than anything.
  11. Yeah, you need to undo the centre section of the exhaust and take it off the hangers to drop it down, remove the front and centre heat shields, pry the bottom of the shifter box off and unclip the shift rods. Then get inside the car and swap the shifter over, then back underneath and refit everything. It's not actually as bad as it sounds. I swapped mine back to standard last week in an hour. Needs to be up on four axle stands or ramps though.
  12. I think Bridgestone rate their 165/50/15's as ok for use between 4.5j and 6j.
  13. Yeah, I'm sure they'll fit all Lupos and Arosas. Most companies only make one set of coilovers for Lupos, not GTI and non-GTI specific ones, and everybody runs them, so there can't be much in it. These are £737 new, so I don't really want to drop the price any more. As said, they're a bargain at this price, and way better than new budget coilovers at the same price.
  14. Yeah. It's nothing to be ashamed or worried about though. Even some of the GTI's were made in Belgium.
  15. Don't want to p*ss on your parade or anything, but they're not Recaro's. And you're looking at the wrong letter, it's the 'B' that is the production place. It was made in Belgium.
  16. Had this on my car just over a year, definitely made a difference to the performance (in a good way). It's a 100 cell race cat too, not a nancy 200 cell sports cat. It still passed the MOT emissions test with it fitted. The mesh covering of the flexi joint has worn away a bit where it's caught the road, but I don't think it's caused any damage or blows. £400 collected from Hartlepool. Thanks.
  17. Unless the Corrado parts include a Corrado, then no thanks.
  18. Awesome coilovers, look at those lovely stainless threads. No seizing up with these babies! These are the proper GTI ones, so no problems with not having enough camber adjustment like cheap coilovers. The coating on the springs has flaked off in some places and they have surface rust, as is always the case with springs. I had painted the rear springs and shocks black to tidy them up a bit, but this came off when I cleaned them for the photo, so their a bit patchy. Nothing a quick coat of paint won't sort, but you can't see them anyway. £300 Collected from Hartlepool. Thanks.
  19. And that, my friends, is how selling stuff should go!
  20. Painted satin black. There are a couple of little marks and imperfections. £3 Collected from Hartlepool. £5 posted. Thanks.
