  1. Out of interest mate, what are you paying including fitting? I got a quote for the highsport silverline fitted with tracking and camber set up and it was £600. (At Midland VW) Just waiting to see if I get a bonus that will pay for them in the new year!
  2. Vanilla Magic tree's bring back bad memories of my mates old escort that used to get pools of water in his footwells, used to stink of damp so he had 4 or 5 vanilla magic tree's hanging, Im sure you could smell him if he drove past! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
  3. I had G6 JMT for my 18th Birthday, Would of been really Apt as I was supposed to be having my moms Corrolla G6 at the time, but bought a real car from Germany instead!! JMT is my initialls by the way! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
  4. Mine went at around 25,000. But I could tell they were on the way out by the whirring noise everytime I braked from high speeds.

    Mr Rufus

    Wow! Really clean! Think some GTi pedals would compliment that footwell nicely too. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" />

    My GTI

    Wander why they had a problem with them? Patriotic German pissed that you were impersonating an autobahn roller?? Strange
  8. I work in Willenhall and use the black country route every day, never seen many Lup's on there tho!
  9. Good call I like the sound of that 2. Im sure my nan would love to buy something like that for xmas if I dont get a Barclays account!
  10. Mine will sound pretty raw between 5k and touching redline, probably throatier than my old aftermarket backbox that i had on my Polo but that was pushing out a g force pulling 50BHP!! Havent worried about it tho as its expected to be abit mean if you rev the tits off it?!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
  11. Autosol metal polish works for me. May need 2 applications, 1 to get any sooty residue off then another to polish it up. Dont do it after a long drive tho! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
  12. Cracked me up! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
  13. Thanks Gentlemen. The missus has the Green flag thing through her barclays account. Perhaps I should open an account and keep it as a mods fund! If its anything like my normal account it will get dipped into for drinking binges at weekends and would just about cover some Bonnet L.E.D'S!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Cheers
  14. Has anyone got breakdown cover ?? I used to be covered under VW roadside with my maintenance plan but as that is up Im thinking of investing in some more cover. Dont fancy running home from somewhere far away with the tyre weld! Anyone have a good plan here?? Cheers Jon
  15. I'll jump on this bandwagon! MG ZR (any model) Look at my spoiler - I have the fastest car on the road, you will not get there faster than me. Silver Merc saloons = Dont mind me Im on the car phone anyway and wont be paying attention to whats going on around me. Beemer 318 drivers = BMW make the M3, "Im sure mine was blessed with this power - right hand lane only" Its been an eventful week driving for me!
  16. I agree totally, I have to go down some stretches of dual carriageway everyday to work and back and the number of arseholes I have pull out in front of me to overtake cars without a thought that im going to be faster than them. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry2:" border="0" alt="angry.gif" /> Frustrates me loads, especially when people sit in the right hand lane and do 45 because "they will be turning right at the next island" And then they get mad when I undertake. (occasionaly) Also what is it with the fog light in the rain crap? Do I really need to see 4 lights reflecting off the wet roads instead of 2? Always some barry in a corsa SXI or a clio. Rant over.
  17. Not me!! Could of been Dan (M1 lUPO)??
  18. Im in the same thinking as marc uk, When I eventually get round to buying coilovers (keep talking but not buying) I am tempted to get the silver line highsports. From the KW website showing all the pics in difference between their inox line and other non stainless coilovers i think stainless is a good precaution to have. Im gonna pop to Midland VW tomorrow and perhaps ask their views on them, as xmas is approaching santa mite visit Germany for my gift this year!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
  19. www.outlawperformance.moonfruit.com/ I am still too broke to get some tho!
  20. Whereabouts you from Tidy?? Your car in the Sig? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />
  21. Ive seen the young lady driver in Bristol too. went there on a lads weekend a few months back and stopped her in the road on the way to the kebab house. cant remember what i said to her though. probably mumbled something about great car and stumbled off! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />
  22. Hi Rob, Cheers Pal, Ive been quoted £70 fitted from Midland VW. Think I'll go with that if they can get me in this weekend some time. Sorry I didnt make it to the polo show Rob, I wanted to but my hungover vision didnt want to get there! From lookin at the pics in the gallery looks like a decent turnout though. You ever seen my old polo on there?? Cheers Jon
  23. *BUMP* Hiya Andy, Ive only come back from a weeks holiday in cyprus this morning!! Dont tell me ive missed out on a meet again! Are you back in the country again? Anyone else any views on pads prices? Cheers Jon (Tanned like this... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" />
  24. Had my 3rd year service yesterday, The last one as part of my finance plan so last abuse of free servicing! As expected I have been told my front pads are 95% worn (i noticed this about a fornight ago when hard braking, brakes really droned). The stealers have quoted £96.78 all Inc which I take as that including labour?? Any of you guys upgraded to pads such as Miltek, greenstuff etc and what sort of cost would I be expecting for parts plus labour at a local garage. ballpark figures please?? Cheers guys/gals.
