Image quality is poor but you can sort of work out what the dash lights look like now.

16v front fogs on their way...

[alexperkins]

superb We shall have to look into the loooooooom lol

[Polo96CL]

Nothing new really, fitted the 16v fog lights and took the car for MOT. Failed on a couple of minor things, front headlamps out of alignment, exhaust clamp at front corroded and rotten and rear wheel bearings are shot. Expense was mainly in the bearings, but I suppose it needs to be done!

I recently had my MOT. Needed a new suspension arm on the right side and it passed after. 3 days after, my bearings started becoming noisy. How much did it cost you for yours mate? I haven't had mine done yet.

[Polo96CL]

£50 a side I think, from what I gather, lowering puts more stress of the bearings if the camber is out. I don't think you can adjust the camber very much on the rear, so it means that you will always have that little extra pressure on the bearings. Hope thats helped.

Car is looking so good mate don't really know what to do with mine if im honest im just really jeolous of yours! Haha!

[Dan 6N]

Looking good mate! Absolute ideal situation with the Gti

[Polo96CL]

Thanks for your comments guys

Nothing new on it so far, might get a couple of fresh stickers and leave it at that lol.

[Polo96CL]

Couple of new updates (in a long time!)

New sticker, 8v Inside in the bottom left hand side of my rear screen. Its in a silver colour which highlights the sticker against the tinted window.

New bosch Aero wipers, genuine VW and will be a nice addition to the car.

Carbon Fibre wrapped front badge. Going to do the panel behind the electric window switches with this. Not OTT but looks great.

I'll get some pictures up soon, now should I wrap the GTi fronts splitter...?

[Polo96CL]

Pics, dont do justice as you can't appreciate the way the light hits the weave.

Stickers at rear:


Badge:

Badge is sweet!

I'd definitely be down with doing my splitter.

Reckon it's doable on the splitter? (getting it on, and it staying on).
