Oh no wasn't saying you was? Not too much really mate. There's a meet at Brands every month but never been myself.

Yeah thats it. Once my mate gets his golf ready sure we'll go up there. Never heard of that, i'll check it out. Nah not going on sunday (never been to any of the big VAG shows/meets.

Cheers mate. I'll let you know if we ever go up there if you fancy coming with us.

Well finally removed all my red brake paint. Took a while. Had to use paint/vanish stripper and white spirit. Took a while but there nice and clean and smooth now. Just got to wait for a day i'm free for a couple of hours and one thats dry to start painting them.

really makes me tempted to lower mine. >.>

Cheers mate, yeah I loved the look but its back to standard at the mo as it was rubbing too much.

Hey man,im going along to prept on wednesday so i may catch you up there if you're going.Keep up the good progress on the motor.

Cheers for that mate, but my cars on bricks at the moment so wont be able to make it. I'll try for next month and we'll have to meet up.

I finally have got rid of the red drums. Took ages removing the original paint but well worth it in the end. Just gave it 3 coats of satin black

Whilst doing the drums I though I might as well change the calipers to my favourite, yellow. Also changed the pads for a new set of Bosch ones.

After 1 coat



After 2 coats and a bit of touch up
