[icotter]

very nice m8, if it's not too expensive I reckon it's well worth doing.

[hunker7]

Really nice. Love the way everything goes together.

Argh so many parts to fit, and ideas for the engine bay, no time to do them.

Waiting for new rear bump stops and some new front top mounts from Shark before I do the suspension and S3 rack.

Yep it's just two DIN slots.

This is from when I was building a car PC and trying to get the screen to fit! You can see I had cut part of the back out but you get the idea!

[Lloyd55vrs]

So i can pic n choose as i please

Cheers mate

[Lloyd55vrs]

Ah ****bags :(

Didnt think of that hahaha

[RobClubley]

More shinies!

ECS Stage 1 kit with 21lb SMF.

Also an R32 steering wheel seems to have arrived, don't tell SWMBO.

Waiting for my T55 Torx bit to arrive now so I can try it out!

[Lloyd55vrs]

Awesome...... Looking forward to you review and this clutch kit mate

Alway a bargin it seems

[vrsjelly]

Good lad let me know what that clutch us like as I'm thinking of ordering the same

[RobClubley]

Still waiting for bump stops and top mounts and the right bits to remove stuff.

Nearly ready to fit some stuff though.

Just playing about with Paint Shop Pro - thoughts?

[Dark_Hero]

The black wheels with red lip will look spot on :-)

[Lloyd55vrs]

I like black wheels on red cars

[RobClubley]

Gulp...

Yum.

[icotter]

very nice m8

you could rub somthing like chemical guys VRT dessing onto the center piece (or any other decent shine product) to get it to match the rest of the wheel better - might be just the photos but it looks a little bit less shiny than the rest of the wheel.

[vrs/steve]

looks very smart makes me wanna get one now !!!

[RobClubley]

It's very nice indeed to hold

[snow_muncher]

It's very nice indeed to hold

You like 'em big and chunky ?

I personally prefere small skinny numbers

[RobClubley]

You like 'em big and chunky ?

I do

Plenty to grab onto in the heat of the moment.

[suicidenorman]

Very nice Rob:)

Citigo rear Skoda Emblem.

They have three locating pegs on the back but they are designed to be easily snapped off.

The back is flat ready to stick to the tailgate, once the pegs are gone, but it is 85mm rather than the standard mk1 80mm so it won't fit the front grille.

Also went for a little run along Makara Road on the way back. I LOVE the R32 wheel.

I'm quite a tactile person anyway, and the chunky feel and all of the lumps and bumps on it feel just right in my hands.

Also had a play with the KWs:

Also went for a little run along Makara Road on the way back.

Just been street-viewing that road.

Is the the road surface really as flat, smooth and pot-hole free as it appears on streetview ?

I'd like to take my car on that road - think it'd cost me a set of tyres though

I'd wind the dampening down to near bottom setting (softer) on those KW (top adjuster), and start from there.
