MBG Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hi Andi. I'm a brand new user on here. First post. You'll be able to tell from my username initials who I am. Just wanted to see if you were saying good things about me. Lol. Good luck matey. You know where I am if you need owt. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Thanks John, I'm so please with it, credit to you and the boys.Can not believe the finish, the reflections on the paintwork are completely smooth, if you see the reflection on the bricks here, look how straight the car is. Every panel was damaged last time I saw the car! Massive thanks, if you live in Newcastle, or in Scotland, give Millburn Garage in Stow a call.If you want a top paint finish without being ripped off, I don't know of anyone better.

Tigz™ Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 About 2 hours away Don't worry mate, today I was worried about it.But I'm sure we can get it running for Edition.I'm using bolts off the Polo to mount things like headlamps, interior trim and other areas I lost the bolts for.Gonna get the interior in (can worry about the dials at a later date) and may need the Emerald fine tuned a little to get it through MOT though... the pops and bags at any revs at the minute are ace, but I don't think an over fueling car goes down well with the emissions machine lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBG Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Glad you like it. The colour has grown on me. It needs the sun to bring out the red and blue pearl in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Do you mind me asking how much you paid, you had inside and out right, bay included?I'll let John answer that Mark.He could pick up you know what from you know where I'm sure Bet he could fit you the thingybob too Glad you like it. The colour has grown on me. It needs the sun to bring out the red and blue pearl in itYeah, its really subtle but looks fantastic when the sun is on it.But the change in the look of the car when its dark is mint also! Looks evil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Progress at last eh stranger! Top work keep it up mate!Paddy! Can you make Edition this year with the family?A little more progress.Been trying to make sense of the wiring.Tried my Lupo clocks in the Polo today.The Lupo has a blue and a green connector.The Polo has a single blue plug.That must mean that the green is Canbus.If it is Canbus in than I will need to fiddle.If it is Canbus out to the ECU then it shouldn't be anything more complicated than leaving one plug out.I hope my guess is right lolReally need to start stripping the Polo though.

Tigz™ Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Seat bag light is on when the Polo clocks are in also Al, if you are reading?I really need a resister.I'll swap you one for a passenger airbag? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBG Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Alas Mark I won't say publicly what Andi or anyone else paid or would pay. As you will appreciate every job is different so pricing is extremely difficult. I will gladly help in any way I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I never get the chance at work to do anything other than work really. When I'm online i'm on hold. And when you do the job I do, you spend a lot of time on hold, as suppliers never call back lolArd anything about you know what mark?

pro3mark Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Ah fair enough Andi, my works like that sometimes, i have dealerships not calling me back, haha!Unfortunatly he'll only take a cheque, so i've had that posted first class recorded, if he waits until the cheque clears (i imagine he will) it should be to you the week before Edition, which is a pain in the arse.I'll PM him and let him know that it's urgent as he should have the cheque tomorrow.

Tigz™ Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Cool, it will only take a hour or so. I'd do it before but pete wants to see everything in place before we take his toys off.
