[alexperkins]

I should get one

Im gonna attempt to detail it soon top to bottom

[6N2 GTI 00]

Nice one mate
Mine needs a full detail this summer your welcome to do it if your in the area lol

[red6n2]

Long shot dude but do you still have the red seats for the mk5 ?

[alexperkins]

Long gone. Guy off here took them months ago mate

[red6n2]

Thought that might be the case, how much did you let them go for I need a replacement seat and don't really want any others than the red that came with the car and am
Going to find it impossible to get just one seat so I probably will
Have to buy the whole set again just wanna know what I'm up against as yours were in top nick !.

Thanks dude.

[alexperkins]

Cant remember, but it was over £100

Get another seat from a scrapyard, and swap the fabric/foam across if its got a busted frame/base.

[red6n2]

My mum being the cleaver person she is threw it away !!!!.

Believe me
She is part paying for the replacement. !.

How's tricks Alex?

[alexperkins]

All good cheers Joe. Sorry - been a while since I have had the time to come on here!! Hows things with you?

Ed 30 has been fully detailed since my last visit, and the mk2 has yet again broken in various ways but given its age and mileage, its almost to be expected in some instances

Mk2 now has a full G60 front brake setup, and a rather large uprated master cylinder for the best performance. Its now wearing a set of refurbed rx2s (i seem to have endless sets!). Looking pretty tidy to be honest

Ill get some new pics up soon when I get a chance, but needless to say both are looking very fresh.

Heres one of the Ed30 after it was cleaned

[Tim_GTi]

Looking good mate, it's been a while! just sent you a PM.

[6N2 GTI 00]

Looking Great Alex

What else have you done to ED30?

[joe2612]

Ah no worries Alex was just interested in how things were coming along! The GTI is going strong ( for now at least). I presume you did the detail yourself? really looks very smart.

[alexperkins]

Ah fair man.

No i didn't do the detail myself - I had a friend do it as I haven't really got the time on my hands at the moment to spend detailing, plus i was at the time a little low on detailing supplies.

@ben Not much more to be honest. In fact, I don't think I have done anything more since the R32 front brakes. To be honest, it goes like a rocket and looks great as it is.

Only thing I did change was the rear pads as they were low



Is it bad I keep getting tempted to get rid of the Mk2 and get another Mk5 Polo GTI as a run around

[Bradley]

Car is looking grand dude,seems you've changed only the sort of bits i would too which makes me appreciate the car even more.

Keep up the good work and enjoying the the thing.

Looks lovely Alex
