Just got thinking there lads... since the demand is there now, I *might* be interested in breaking my own Polo early. I'm selling it in september at the latest anyway.
I have my own set of perfect xenons, not crashed, right and left xenon bulbs are colour matched since they've both run for the exact same length of time, and come with expensive 4150k PIAA sidelight bulbs (not LEDs that blow all the time). It's just a feeler for the minute, I'm really in two minds as they're the best thing on my car
About the single light - i'll see can i get your man's mobile number for you. I think he knows what they're worth though

UPDATE:
So I now have my GTI handbrake, and have sourced my GTI rear disc brakes and front GTI brakes. Everything is beginning to fall into place, and completion is estimated for the 20th of August...just in time for my Birthday and ED38 - the debut!!
Ill get some photos up tomorrow, along with some snaps of the new pioneer headunit i got last week.

UPDATE:
I have sorted myself out with G60 front carriers and pads, so braking performance is dramatically better!
This week im on the hunt for a tailgate lock assembly, so i can at long last get my boot to have central locking with the rest of the car...god damn E models!!
Contemplating the thought of a lupo 6 speed box and a small turbo aswell...need to do some research into how realistic it is to do. A supercharger may be a better option, but both are a costly add on, even tho it would make my car totally unique.
Also got a new richbrook tax disc holder which I am chuffed to bits with!!
Im really eager to get the lump in or at least start some mechanical work....its just soo exciting to finally create a car that does 0-60 so much faster than 16 seconds!!
