geof Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) I got a few for ya:I was surprised to see you had not opted for chrome indicator lamps - not expensive but stop that glare of orange coming through against the white in close-ups ;-) Edited July 20, 2012 by geof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I was surprised to see you had not opted for chrome indicator lamps - not expensive but stop that glare of orange coming through against the white in close-ups ;-)Thanks for the great pictures I've got the chrome ones in the rear but I quite like the orange in the front for some reason, gives it a bit of character. Clean but not completely white if you get me So a bit off subject but the boyfriend got a Mk1 Cab today - less time to work on Alva But I do quite like it, just needs a lot of work!!Hopefully he'll still have time to fit the engine rebuild in during this winter Mmmmm...wood...

Arosaproject Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I had a MK1 GTI Is it me or is that front bumper not straight?Alva is looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I had a MK1 GTI Is it me or is that front bumper not straight?Alva is looking good It's probably not.Hasn't moved since 2002 and it looks like its had some sort of repair work at some point in its life.The bumpers are going anyway Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Had a major scare on the way home today! I was driving on the Coventry ring road and saw something in the road but couldn't swerve as there was a car next to me...Whatever it was it dragged under my car for ages (shaking my car loads!) and eventually came out of the back but under one of my back wheels so my car went up in the air - really thought it had done some proper damage!Luckily I can't see any damage.I was a bit worried about my wheel denting my arch as they rub anyway but heyho, lucky escape! In brighter news, I've just realised that I've had Alva for just over 2 years now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete91 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Lovely car amber! Seen it at UD this year and it looked brilliant! I was surprised to see you've taken the tints off, what level were they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 That's good Amber the car will look alot better now not that it ever looks badHaha you should see it atm, it's very dirty! Looks horrible when it's that dirty Lovely car amber! Seen it at UD this year and it looked brilliant! I was surprised to see you've taken the tints off, what level were they?Thanks I didn't by choice really, I changed to pop outs and then realised that they needed tinting so took it all off. To be honest it needed redoing anyway I will get round to it eventually...I think I had 90% tint on the rear and 70% on the front...Totally legal obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 So Alva is very unloved at the mo as the project is taking up literally every evening and weekend!Haven't gone to any meets for agessss! To restore some love I finally got her plugged in which showed up that I needed a new coolant temperature sensor so a new one of them is in now A quick picture from work...I couldn't resist!The bad photo is purely my fault for trying to not look like a sad **** so took it very quickly...I swear I will get her cleaned this week!!!Makes me sad seeing her soooo dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Okay so Alva has been very neglected due to the tdi project...I wasn't even going to go to Edition this weekend but I've decided to attend Sunday so today Alva got a well deserved and overdue clean!Ohhh nooo my steering wheel badge has popped out...oops! Just to prove how dirty she really was...Ewwwww!Clean!!I didn't get a picture of her completely clean as I still need to do some bits New present, will get fitted tomorrow ready for Edition!
