Nice paint job on the car, although i hate white, means you have to clean more regularly!!

Did you say you had chrome bumpers for your mk1? i want to get some but i havent a clue where to look.

Yeah got some NOS chromies to go on next year when the weather isnt so harsh for them.

Also just sourced some chrome bumper brackets, and 3 NOS end caps, just need a drivers side rear end cap now!!

chrome bumpers appear on ebay every now and then but the prices they fetch show how 'in demand' they are.

Ebay.de might be an option if you can find someone willing to send to the uk

TBH I prefer the bumpers you've got. The chrome ones just look too small, as if they aren't designed for the car. But each to their own. Looks dapper as it is.

ok the weather was playing ball today so i got the jack out!

Heres just a few pics......

Looks higher than it really is (jack was still under car!)

Exhaust was knocking so i sorted that out

had to be done!

Stripped out rear (do you need to carry a spare wheel?)

Ebay bargain!

I need to grow up..........

Still scrubbign a bit at rear so gonna have to get the arches rolled methinks.

Looking good.

By law, you dont have to carry a spare, or any substitue (like a space saver or can of tyre weld) but if you do carry a spare, it has to be road legal (i.e. same rolling radius as that of either axle and have legal tyre tread)

well its a completely different rolling radius so id better take it out!

Looks really nice mate. Good choice of wheels and ride-height.

If its up slightly at the back i think it needs to go down a bit at the front. Its all about nose down!!

Have you sorted your stance/scrubbing issues yet?
