Cheers for that yellowcar I've just checked mine and getting 370mm on the fronts with new springs and 350mm on the rears with 110000 miles on them assuming there original.

Hey batchy2005 could you do me a massive favour and measure from wheel center to the top of arch (curved bit) on your front as I've not long had standard springs fitted and she's looking a bit high but can't find the oem specs for that measurment.

Hi guys I'm trying to source a slam panel for my sickley 2001 auq vrs. Have found a good deal on one complete with headlights & bumper backing bar but its from a 2002 2.0L petrol no way of getting a part number until next week now so any idea if it will fit mine. I have literally spent all day trawling the web for info and have nothing to show for it :-(
-
Have sent a pm to OET so hopefully get one sorted soon. Had my garage guy get quotes for new parts from tps and he said £175 for bumper.
-
Hope it finds a good home.

Yes skospares have most bits but no bumper. All vrs on eBay have had the fronts stripped straight away. One bloke told me to stick a bora bumper on lol. I just find it hard to believe so many people are getting in front enders especially when most cars being broken are undamaged.
-
Are the vrs bumpers that hard to find or am I missing something. Had someone pull out in front of me before Christmas & smash up the bumper bonnet etc , she's a cat c write off but going to get her back on the road if I can ever find parts must have rang about 50 breakers now with no joy. I'm in Leicester if any of you guys knows something I don't :-)

Maybe there should be a dedicated place to post audio and video clips of engine noise. I've often wondered if mine is normal.

Hi does anyone know where in Leicester I can get a boost leak test done. The only place I can find is r-tec and they won't do a stand alone test.

I have used carparts4less a couple of times now with top class service.

And don't forget good weather too. Give me a wave if you see me passing mate mines a y reg and I live there.

Dark grey or gunmetal would like nice on silver mate. Thejono24 have i seen you driving around the ratby area before , its not often i see another mk1 vrs.

I've never managed to get my spoiler and mirrors looking as red as the metalwork. Maybe a respray when the summer eventually arrives. Have used paint from this place before to paint my bumpers. http://www.paints4u.com/default.aspx

Mine has 17" spyders full set of 5 I wonder if there aftermarket. The spare fits nicely in the boot and its got the foam toolkit holder too.
