Indeed.
The top cowling has a small scratch in it which i happened to do

and the bit underneath was broken by the previous owner. Its quite easy to remove and refit - pm me your msn and ill send over the service instructions on it

Well, big day today. The car will be back on the road in approx 2 hours and counting!
MOT is booked, and there *should* be no advisories or anything whatsoever!
Reason for all this is the Mk3 has a rather serious fuel line leak, and it absolutely stinks of fuel when you are driving along, so to fix it, I need another car as the parts need to be ordered in and take a few days
Oh well...happy days!

Well I have already changed something
New instrument cluster cover...mine was scratched, and the underside mount was damaged, so ive taken it out, and replaced it with a nice new one courtesy of Darren
Tomorrow going to order new ARB bushes and the other half of the pipe that goes into the undertray, seeing as mine one appears to be missing!
