Update time!

Firstly, central locking is now all wired up and working with my alarm :D .. can't leave my keys in my boot though, otherwise it'll all lock after 30 secs lol

Then i put my new matts that i got for crimbo
Image

Next up, was new discs and pads that i got for crimbo, my calipers were holding the pads on one side, so only had half breaking :eek:
Image



Went to the scrap yard on and after searching and searching, didn't see a Polo. Luckily a friend saw one up top :D

So grabbed the bits that i needed.
- A set of Genesis/GT Clocks (adds Rev counter and clock)
Image
Sorry for the pic quality. We managed to work out how to change the mileage to the correct one. So got that sorted.

- Centre console, mine didn't come with one. It needed a clean up and a new gaitor, but that'll be sorted.

- Also grabbed the Scuttle Panel, as mine was snapped and held together by tape
Image
New vs. Old

And thats it!

Going to do some Red detailing inside, and on the look out for some Renault 5 Mirrors. To stop the 'Mickey Mouse' look lol
