Cheers James!

Adummy - I got them off eBay mate:

NFS - I had to drill out two of the bolts that hold the discs in, as I didn't have an impact driver. Then i got my adaptors stuck on. Plus I had to lend a rewind tool (so had to pick up and drop the off) Nothing major really, we just brought the wrong tools to do the job, so yo-yoed between places until it got done.

Not since last Ausgust mate when I got the sides smoothed, b-pillars sprayed black and the bits under the rear lights smoothed. I don't see me doing anything else now, I'll be looking to sell towards mid-summer I think.

Yeh it's great mate, despite the shoddy weather! Best stuff I've bought for tyres and plastics. Haven't tried it on rubber seals yet.

Right, time to pull the finger out and actually get the Polo back up to standards!

Just ordered the following from GSF:

Titan XTR oil
Oil Filter
Fuel Filter
Pollen Filter
New Sump Plug
Dot-4 Brake Fluid
G12 coolant

When I'm home in a fortnight I'm going to change the oil and filter, drain the coolant and refill, re-bleed the brakes, change the fuel filter and clean BMC.

Then in the following weeks the car will be garaged, and I'll start the machine polish! Get some CCoding done in the engine bay and also get some of the interior sorted out

Then in preperation for the Summer, I'm HOPEFULLY going to get the Mono's Diamond cut, new 185/45 rubber, and possibly arch work to get the stance Peeerfect!

Watch this space

looking forward to see what you do with the arches.
