You fit the suspension yourself?

How'd you manage that? I get quoted £300 all the time for fitting!

True, the weather has been diabolical last few days, preventing me from cleaning my car, it looks like a shed right now

daa709, its just a case of knowing what to do really, what order to do things, having appropriate tools etc etc

and tim, id best not rub it in then eh saying i have spent all day in my garage with my polo using my new zymol, to create what can only be described as a black vag mirror

its fantastic, tomorrow i will be trying to locate a stockist and go collect some carbon wax to seal it, but so far with just a wash, HD Cleanse and Cleaner wax, the results are awesome,


i wash and polish my car twice a week using megs gold class, but when i was using the zymol, you could actually see the paint what had been done was deeper and darker than the un-zymol'd paint, its as if its took away a milky sheen that was haunting my paintwork

results are most impressive, but products are expensive

Jeff... fancy doing mine?! hahaha
its hard making a white car shine!! lol

daa709 - £300 quid for fitting?! i'll do it for 200 haahhahaahahha

its easy mate to do it, rears are 3 bolts, 2 on the strut top, 1 on the beam, undo them, replace everything, make sure everything is tight!!

fronts are a nightmare though!!! haha i paid someone to do the fronts last time cos i got pissed off lol!

meanwhilst todays mods are... ipod kit... and wired in the connections to my ghetto boost gauge and a hid kit!

but thats it for this weekend! next things are coilies... cos they are just sat there! staring at me! all night!! arghhh!!!
