Adi's mk2 valver

theres a plate of metal welded onto the seams of the rear valance either side and it looks like a 5 year old welded them on! one of them even covers the towing eye, i think its even been cut off to be honest! i reckon it was just a bodge job to pass an MOT in the past. There's no real rot issues there now, its just ugly, and I'd rather it be covered up

Pm me a pic dude, I'll see if it looks like an easy repair if you like?

yea go for it, as long as the repair is cheaper than buying big bumpers! i need a driver's side front wing as well as its a little bit rotten on the front bottom of the wing, and has a bad filler repair near the windscreen, and it has laquer peel, so I guess a new wing would be the easiest thing to do. I'l take a pic of it tomorrow dood

Sweet worth a look dude.

what trim bits u after man?
can i help at all??

The only bits I'm defo in a hurry for are the little grommets that go in the window winder holes, as I have leccy windows but missing the grommets for the holes in the door cards, and a driver's side rear seat belt, as mine is duff and can only have one baby car seat in at a time!

Also a CL splitter until I get big bumpers would be nice, or even a valver splitter as I'm considering raising the front a bit.

Oh and I would swap my leather G60 steering wheel for a smaller one, like a polo GT one

And another thing, sorry I keep editing this! I need the little pull out tray that goes on the driver's door, or better still a pair of speaker pods, I know theyre rare, but worth asking!

Looks really nice but i cant say that i like the mirror blanks

Looks nice mate, I would drive that

scene points there then!!!

Ive got some speaker pods if ur interested?? £30 and there yours

A bit broke at the mo mate, just getting bits I really need for now. If you still have them pods in the future though I'l remember you!

Been busy spending a grand total of 20quid today to get some important bits done, the interior is now complete with no missing trim at all. Now has a CL front splitter, window winder blanks, pull out tray on drivers door, drivers side rear seatbelt, the thin metal plate that goes on the bottom of the grille, and chrome wolfsburg mirror adjusters thanks to chimp.

Also aquired another rocker cover and exhaust manifold for a grand total of nothing

Gonna polish up this spare rocker cover methinks, then may attempt the inlet manifold at some point.

99.9%........ really how come more aint got em then?
dont get me wrong, i dont mind a little stretch. but............

I have to admit i have a large amount of stretchage, and it has grown on me, the stance is absolutely perfect at the mo

Cars looking ace.
I dont mind a little stretch either, I'm not sure if there are are any safety implications with too much, like "will my tire be pulled off the rim during hard cornering?"

there is a fine art to stretch i reckon! too much and it can look shi*e,they just have to sit right on the right car for me,plus the lower tyre wall equals lower car thrown in with new tyres! like i said mine are more for purpose otherwise id have some real ballache arch work needed!

I can see if from the practical point, it's a way to have wide wheels and keep the tread pattern under the arches.
How do the tires feel through corners though? I've never drivern a car with stretch before.

feels like a go kart! ive never thought they were gonna come off or owt. mind u having fat rears sticking the arse down is gonna help no end! lol

having thought about it, I suppose with a bit of stretch then there'll be less movement in the sidewalls during laterial movement.

Thats my way of looking at it, and I can throw my golf into corners, and it doesnt at all feel like the tyres are going to come off!

its good fun! mine sticks in the twistys,hardly any roll at all!

Check out show cars and have a look to see how many have the corect size tyre to the size of rim and it wil be very few, I think the reason alot dont have stretch tyres is because they are unsure of which tyre they will need or which rim.

There more practical than for looks

Its funny how this forum now has a red pinstripe.....

Cuz my grille does now!



And today gonna start prepping this...

looks cool,like the number plate to,almost e38...NOT!!lol

I'l remember that for shows, might have to modify the plates!
