I have a set of 16" ones that are for sale sort of. Need finishing though.

PM'd

I have a pair of FK ali bolt on ones, used for about 12 months, come with the bolts. £65 posted? Edit: 25mm ones, also have some 30mm ones.

Forgot to say I have also done this year... Full service, cambelt change and water pump, coolant, NGK Iridum plugs, oil, filter, brake fluid change, clutch fluid change. Front wheel bearing. Track rod end. Another 2 front side repeaters (Lost count of how many that have cracked) Heated stubby mirror glass with no blind spot New aerial base with gasket. New Polo 6R aerial. (Last one ended up on Mums Golf) New front top mounts and bearings to replace the solid ones. Redone the camber and tracking.

Got bored of spending alot of money on it. S3. Think the wheel is staying. Will PM you if I decide to get rid of it. haha, sold a few bits already. lol. Sort of, couldn't be bothered trying to sell it for the same price as a good standard one, and it's not really possible to convert it back to total standard.

Oh right. I bought a proper flash before Christmas, the quality is unreal compared to the pop up flash. Might have posted this before but this is how sharp the lens can be.... Felix by 99hjhm, on flickr Open the flickr link and view it in large.

lol. Got lucky then as they are not all registered as 1.3's. Did you factor in the cost of engine rebuilds, oil and back handers to the MOT tester for when it didn't pass the emissions test.

Are you sure? I would personally get a GTI beam with built in ARB then add a Whiteline ARB. I have the huge RARB on mine that Awesome won't sell to anybody else and on track it's still not stiff enough IMO.

Thanks. Cheers, not very clean at the moment. I was going to, had all the bits to do it, but sold them.

I didn't want the salt to attact the finish on them. In terms of braking they were no better than the G60's... Only did them as they look good and nobody else had them. I'm shortly selling the car so might aswell recoup some of the money I've spent on it. I wouldn't if I tried selling it as is.

I had G1 one my windows, worked well for about 12 months. Used G5 or is it C5 wheel armour. Went cloudy when applied, might have been my fault, not so sure it made any difference.

Like the lens?

WTF!? Golf Mk4 TDI? What about the other £3-4000? You would get a MINT low milage one for £4k and thats only because they hold there value really well. Unless you mean an Anni'? Wont get much R32 with that money. I would get(or will probably get) a 2003 S3, 70K on the clock with RS4 rims £6.5k ish or more for a really good one. Depends on what you need the car for, I want a car that my GF doesn't mind going in for more than 5mins, that I can use every day and get 2 bikes in or 4 friends. Lupo doesn't do that very well. If it was a weekend car it would be something different.

Upgrade ARB's then?

PM me.

After not keeping on top of the paint over the summer it wasn't really show standard anymore, so decided to do this.... Lupo GTI by 99hjhm, on flickr Lupo GTI by 99hjhm, on flickr ..and came away with a class win, beating a Saxo, R26 Megane and some classic stuff! Very wet day. Refitted the 280mm G60 brakes, still have the Porsche ones in the garage if anybody is interested.

Fitted a second hand Janspeed stainless exhaust with twin 31/4" tail pipes, waited ages for one to come along as Janspeed don't make them like this anymore. The center section is unsilenced. Fitted all new stainless clamps with stainless bolts and stainless hose clips round each of the exhaust mountings to raise them all up so the exhaust fitted perfectly.

Well yeah. 20mm longer if they are bolt through spacers.

Right, small update. Bought a new PAS bracket, then painted it in Gloss black 2K. Gloss Black by 99hjhm, on flickr

Can I have a new title Silver?

A few, nothing major, still have the car in one piece, gets used daily. 300 miles a week.

Hi Rich... Yeah ended up doing alot more than I originally planned. Just sold the BBS RC's I had off you. Mount is a mod really worth doing. Thanks. Cheers Sheldon. Not that much really will update this thread soon though. Sorry mate. Yeah, guess I have had enough. Still love the little thing to bits though. I think I trimmed the bit that sits agaist the door seal, and cut out the area for the slot after it is on the car. Just do abit at a time, get there in the end. Thanks for your comments.

Did I really win best GTI? That is a real shock!

I would get springs! From experience.
