pro3mark Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Ah yeah, i used to enjoy my sport and the Galleria tunnel quite a lot. Wheels for GTi, oh . It's up for sale, i'd happily take it to Edition, but i think it may be sold by then leaving my carless I have a Kestral DA, think it works quite well looking at my GTi, but thats just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little rich Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Grrrrr!......So i nock off early on friday from work to go to MK VW bodyshop to pick the Lupo up, (around a 30 min drive) im obv very excited!I get there, sort most of the paper work out and then she brought the car round for me to have a look at it,1st thing i noticed the car was dirty! (honestly when spending nearly 1500 quid youd expect it to be clean!)2nd thing, i noticed the wing mirror covers havent been re-sprayed , turns out they didnt even write that down!3rd thing, i noticed the offside sill hasnt been re-sprayed, was there in black and white but the just "forgot"So as you can guess im really peed off! There going to have the car for another week, so i have the polo still...Another thing the freshly polished wheels arent weathering up too well there, they need washing properly, polishing, and waxing...But on the good side the quality looked really good of the work that they did do!Better be ready for edition...

jamiea7x Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 atleast the quality of the work is spot on, i had this when my car was in the bodyshop, they forgot to bits + the fact they had runs in the laquer and left my ca scratched on panels they shouldnt have been anywhere neartook them nearly a month and 3 separate trips to them for itto be sorted, and even at that i wasnt 100% happy, but i just could be ****ed dealing with them anymore, oh and they broke my key and put it back together with black mastic and never uttered a peep about it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little rich Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Iv got it back!!Was pretty impressed at the time it took them to do the bits they missed,Pretty happy with it, only downer is the wings, boot, and rear bumper (only bits that havent been resprayed) dont look as good as before next to new paint! but i couldnt afford a full respray from VW!Also my wheels arent looking too clever atm so need alot of time/work on them!Any way im skint now after paying 2 months wage to VW, going to try and fit my BMC fitted then look into a full egg sauce system after edition.Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little rich Posted August 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 ahh oki no worries,Iv got it all off today when i had a spare 10 mins, just wondering where i should pick my cold air feed up from?Should i take it out of the original air feed from the wheel arch? there appears to be a spring thing in that on the joint?Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Most people take that feed out, but i think the easiest way (and the neatest) is to link the air feed to the stock one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
