I know I will do the same. Raising funds for a typhoon and an 4-2-1 manifold. Then lowering springs and I won't stop. Black leather, red trim.

But......I have had 5 door silver, have 5 door red so what will the next one be.......

That looks much better now Bradley :)

You just need some Xenon headlights and a K&N Typhoon induction kit to finish it off :wink:

Sham is selling xenons but I can't part with £350. Not for some lights.

K&N is a must. My iPhone is going on eBay tonight to raise the extra cash. I have not even used the phone. It's brand new.

I have to just align the front now. Bonnet is sitting slightly off centre.

Right, my polo is pulling BADLY to the left when driving so I put it in for tracking yesterday and even after they adjusted a bit here and there everything it still pulls the same.

Has anyone had this issue? Need it resolved ASAP as I'm going from Bournemouth to Leeds on Friday and back.

Right.....the drivers side bushes were gone so I replaced the wish bone. Then laser aligned the wheels. All dead straight. 100% correct.

Guess what.....still pulls to the bloody left!!!!

I just swapped the tires front to back now but measured the front hight and the passenger side is slightly higher by about 3cm. So now this is now another thing to do. So far I have spent £220 and now it's just money money money!!! Might pick up a cheap set of coilovers and see if that changes it as it might be a bad shock or spring.

I have spent all this money that I had for my k&n typhoon :(

Update......was touching up the paint work last weekend as I noticed the door was off colour wise so I repainted it. Did 2 door handles and thought I would put it up for sale and then some lady cut me up on a round a bout and scrapped my new bumper, smashed indicator and the force has knocked my front end more out of alingment.

So it's now going it te the local body shop next week to be done so I am gonna throw them some cash and have the whole rear bumper and panels sprayed too. Then time to go up for sale. I hit 85k on the clock today. So it's still got some life left.

Thinking about either another astra coupe turbo or another polo gti but black 5 door.
