[alexperkins]

I was contemplating a gloss black roof the other day

[jason11]

u could always let the gti see the tarmac a bit closer !

get it bloody lower

[adam_0612]

hmmm..i dont think a black roof mate, you havn't really got anything else black on the car do you? could look ace though?!

[alexperkins]

An update ......

The bush in the ns lower arm has split and the wheel is massively unstable so its of the road.

They were only replaced Nov last year so warranty here we come!

[alexperkins]

I really need something exciting to report dammit!

Well the car is getting fixed today, so all is good

As for the front of new things, im looking into getting the interior retrimmed in fresh leather as the seats are starting to crack a little (me being a perfectionist gets irritated by things like this lol!)

I may soon take the headlining out and dye it black, like certain lupo GTIs came with as it looks quite sweet, but ill have to get hold of a second head lining to try it out on first...not ruining my one!

Its going in for a front end respray in a month and a bit and will get a brand new front splitter to replace the one I drove into a kerb with!

So yes, a few things happening, but nothing too exciting as yet!

[tegwin]

I think a new gearbox mount is needed

Got mine fitted today... its tiiight

Talk to me on MSN

[Tim_GTi]

Get some black suede fabric for the roof, just done mine dude, it looks awesome

[alexperkins]

I haven't got any dude! My dads standard lens has broken so I can't take pics at the mo.

Tomorrow?! Shoot, I'm in the Mall tomorrow. How long you down for?

[alexperkins]

All is quiet on the western front (still!). Im spending quite alot of time doing work on the Mk3 atm, as its had a few bits of maintenance needed

But on a progress note, the deep clean starts soon......got my hands on a Megs G220, so Im gonna give it a light going over to get it ready for winter

Also, the calipers are coming off soon for spraying so itll all look good

Hey man,ive been looking through your progress thread and like the hight of your car on the RXII wheels alot.Are they the normal 15" GTI versions?.Also how much have you lowered the car by and with what suspension?.Final question of all are you running any spacers to push the wheels out further into the arch?.
Any help would be apprechiated,

Brad
