Whats a sign that the gear box is about to in the 6n2? I can move mine about in all the gears. Does that mean shes about to go?

There is some play with the gearstick when it's in gear mate, if you can change gear freely wen you're driving it should be fine.

Bloke I know said that his polo gear box was tight (his is a 9n) and he said if ur gearbox is slack its wrecked and about to go. True or False. In sayin this the bloke im talkin about always says "His" things are 100% and he never gets any problems with them

Mate thats a load of crap!

Is it whining?
Is it crunching when changing gear?
Is it rattling?

There is always some movement in the stick when in gear - newer boxes like the 9N is going to be a bit tighter

Yeh mate thats the reiger front splitter. Looks alrite eh. I am planning on changing it for the gti splitter, but i'm not sure, i really really would like to get it to the bodyshop and smooth it into the front bumper. Think that would look differnent!

well my car went through a huge process. It had a big jap style bodykit on it before, and the car was pretty much all primered, ready for spray, bt then i decided to rip it off and go subtle, but the kit had been smoothed in so was when i ripped it off, it left a heep of fibre glass etc, so i took it to the body shop and he did:-

1) sanded down all the bodywork to bear metal
2) smoothed front, back and side strips
3) weld plated and smoothed my boot
4) Fitted my boot solenoid etc
5) primered the car
6) Fitted my splitter
7)Sprayed the all car

Think that was the process.

All for the princely some of Â£900 so i couldnt really tell home much t would be for just the 2 bumpers.
