Road legal pressed plates.

Nah man they don't come up that often mate but mine was £60 brand new from dealers. Was actually cheaper than a new one from eBay! Keep your eye out though :) they tend to take some abuse when the cars are lowered :p

polo recaro interior 6n2

Straight swap for any mk3 interior on the front seats dude. Rear benches are slightly wider iirc but the cloth can come off you're rear bench and be replaced with the leather of the mk3 bench with a pretty snug fit! :)

Nah this is just poverty spec so the black bum strips are standard. You can take them off and probably spray the ones you have on yours now or if you wanna buy new ones they're known as bump strips/rub strips.

6n2 surf blue build thread[new wheels pg 2]

Okay guys this never went. Been trying to get ready for MOT and everything went balls up two punctures and ruined tyres so I've gone balls deep and got some new wheels. Can't decide if this is brave or stupid but I've gone for some baby g60's banded to 8.5j rear and 7.5j front. Hoping I can make it ...

Not bad for the condition at all mate! Good luck with sorting the engine, get it out and whack something else in there! Carbs are nothing but grief!

Ashcroft's Mk2 Saloon - New Project

Is this a 1.0 litre? Friends got one of these it's a guilty pleasure if mine but so so scary when he's overtaking it just loses all power aha needs some work but they're so nice! Be interested to know how much you pas his has 70000 on it an he paid £200 but it's nowhere near as clean!

What to check for when buying a 6n2

+1 for pedal box also noisy gearboxes! Other than that just general wear and tear!
