ok, so after work on sat i decided to pull my finger out and out me xorst and steering wheel...............so i took it to mechanic i normally go to and he fitted them on for me and charged me £40.00. the xorst had to be wielded on and a sleeve had to used.........but it can be done (as all magazines and websites only advertise the magnex oval xorst for GTi)   the steering wheel was done quickly.....he disconnected the battery and got stuck in straight away with removing the airbag.......but i need to polish the airbag unit to make it have the same gleam as the steering wheel itself.  now i am sooooooooo happy!! only spoiler (which i need to collect sometime this coming week) and lowering............but i am thinking of upgrading me brakes and painting me wheels black??? |

Spoiler will make a hugeeeeee change to your car, the line over the roof will look completely different, much sportier and cooler! You will love it.

funniest thing is at work, when we park up to get something to eat, the coppers might be watching us and when we go the other person drives.....the police must be thinking wtf?
but as we are all self insured thru the company........the plod can f off!
i do drive it carefully anyway.........there is simply not enough space for me to speed!

nah never been pulled.....yet!........actually tell a lie, i have but in a work car............accidently did a illegal right hand turn with two plods right on the corner.
originally the turning was permitted but it was changed over a weekend, so there was us at work on monday and went to deliver a car and turned right down this road (as we always do) and suddenly all i see is a plod stand out and wave me down (along with me work mate in another car) and i explained to him that it was permitted on fri before and didnt realise that it was illegal and luckily he let me off.
i can get it to bout 60mph on some stretches of road near where i live but its the other drivers i am worried bout..........they drive on the other side of roads (coz of cars that are double parked) also there are some pricks round here that speed more than the average person!
