The previous car had to be sold due to starting my own insurance policy and the price hit the roof!
so i decided to sell up and buy a small engined veedub

After alot of browseing the internet for a desent looked after car i saw this
![Image](http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n499/liamallsopp/69812al-1.jpg)
85,000 on the clock, It had only 1 previous owner(lady) and had full service history from new, Serveced by VW themselves every 8 thousand miles.
Its only a 1.2 but its cheap to insure till i get 1 or 2 years no claims, Then ill go back to a big diesel engine.
The paint work wasnt bad at all to be honest just 3 or 4 very minor little stone dents that you wouldnt notice inless you got down and actally full on looked for them witch made me want it even more. The First thing i wanted to do was give it a full on valet to restore the paint work and get it looking its best. And also another 5 minute mod i did was remove the rear wiper and colour code the rear badge

Then i had a trip to halfords to purcase a roof bar fitting kit to go on my aero bars and chucked them on after work.

The next week i brought a set of coilovers and had them fitted by my mate sam trigg, We found that the anti roll bar drop links were siting on the driveshaft so removed it intill i purcased some shortened ones. I wound them down all the way and just wasnt happy with the result as they only went to 100mm

next on my mind was the wheels i couldnt stand driveng round on steelies, I was looking for weeks for a nice desent set, After nearly buying a rough set of BBS RCs i decieded not to and saw B2OCO selling an amazing fresh set of BBS RXII s 17x17.5" that had all new 185/35s on, 5x100 so just bolted straight on so were perfect really.
Anyway as the weather was carp and snow comeing soon i didnt bother putting them on for a couple of weeks, wanted to wait for the weather to clear.

So after work one day i decided to put them on andwhen i took my front wheels off the tyres were f'ed and i dint even no about it, I belive it was due to going low witch camberd the front wheels slightly.

But yeahh i test fitted the RXIIs and in my opinion they suited the car well! just needed more lows

At this point i had it moted and needed the rollbar putting back in so i purcased the shortened droplinks and put it back in.
Couple of days later had the coilovers back out and sold them to a friend, So it was back to standard height and steelies for a week :/
