Some shiney new numberplates?.

New clock cowlings,what happened to your previous ones dude?.Have you much knoledge on how to remove the top cowling,ive noticed a slight little rattle where i think the two sections have become slightly unseated on my car and it's doing my head in when i drive down a bumpy road

[alexperkins]

Indeed.

The top cowling has a small scratch in it which i happened to do and the bit underneath was broken by the previous owner. Its quite easy to remove and refit - pm me your msn and ill send over the service instructions on it

[Bradley]

PM'd dude,so are you currently on project mint haha making your car absolutly mint.

[alexperkins]

thats the idea

[alexperkins]

Well, big day today. The car will be back on the road in approx 2 hours and counting!

MOT is booked, and there *should* be no advisories or anything whatsoever!

Reason for all this is the Mk3 has a rather serious fuel line leak, and it absolutely stinks of fuel when you are driving along, so to fix it, I need another car as the parts need to be ordered in and take a few days

Oh well...happy days!

[emma_88]

Fingers crossed for you Alex.

I always dread MOT day.

Just need to get the grilles and dash sprayed up so they glisten

[shantybeater]

[alexperkins]

[alexperkins]

Well I have already changed something

New instrument cluster cover...mine was scratched, and the underside mount was damaged, so ive taken it out, and replaced it with a nice new one courtesy of Darren

Tomorrow going to order new ARB bushes and the other half of the pipe that goes into the undertray, seeing as mine one appears to be missing!

[Si_GTi]

MOT day is always a nervous few hours. Glad you got another clean bill of health!

[shantybeater]

Thats is interesting, was it difficult to do? i assumed they were sealed units, could really do with doing this on the Z
