Once won some BBS alloys with pirelli tyres for £100 to collect just down the road. I was chuffed, till the seller cancelled it!

I've never done this.. oops. Next time!

I would have crashed the car just to shut her up.

£200+ would probably get you a decent second hand set of something different if you're patient enough

Can't help but feel my initial light hearted comment started it off, sorry. I was only joking. I have absolutely nothing against hairdressers!

Nothing wrong with admiring your metal. Especially if you've just spent hours 'cleaning' it Infact, nearly every time I get out mine I have to look back at it. Kind of like when a nice female walks past, you just can't help it

Don't suppose you know the actual names for these Matt? Googles just giving me a load of pish

My Polo was the same. I just left them out, see if anything big enough would loosen them off for me lol

Oh right haha

What's that sticker on your bumper? Looks like a speed cam sign

Beeehhh. I can't be arsed, just ordered the Forge one. Going to have a look to the dealers and get a couple fresh O rings

Looks like it needs to be a reducer though unfortunately. One thing that worries me about the DIY route is the couplers, as they have a massive internal diameter compared to the OEM ones, and with it being directly off the turbo it might introduce a load of lag?

Roof bars with a tonne of blocks strapped on

I don't know what's more offensive to my eyes, this, or the Audi TT pictures!

Yea that's what I've done for the top Not sure about what hose to use from the turbo though as the silicone will have to deal the the heat and oil. What degree is the bend?

Yea for sure, just tempting to try and save a bit as funds are tight at the moment, due to all things car related lol Cheers for the offer, but think I'll probably bite the bullet and get a Forge one

Still feels like robbery considering what it is, but I'm more than likely going to go that route than OEM Or I might even try a second hand jobby for the time being. I want to spend some money on shinys for the car, yet I can't cause I keep having to buy boring things like console bushes, discs, pads and wheel bearings!

I use NattyBoys stuff myself. Can't fault it and the prices are decent I apply the wax with my fingers like grrr666 does, as it's really easy to use and tastes great

Now comes the fun bit of replacing it. I bet it's not going to be cheap

I was under the car today to check the bottom boost pipe again as the cars hissing like a bag of angry cats, and came across this, which I suspect is the problem judging by the amount of play in it and the oil around. I hear some play is normal, but this looks forked to me? In the vid I'm using very little force to move it, just a light wiggle with the fingers. Recorded it the wrong way and was breathing like a bit of a rapist, sorry....

There probably will be at least one person who will buy one in a certain colour, do certain mods to it and make it look quite good. No doubt about that. My opinion on the Mk2 hasn't changed at all since the first time I seen it, but there are a few on here with a few mods that look quite good

Depends if you have a dirty job, dirty hobbies or dirty kids. Mine don't really get too bad tbh
