Get a picture up when you have the skoda splitter on wouldn't mind seeing a different splitter on a ph3 front end.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but the blue white red on the grill, does it stand for anything or is it purely becuase it looks good?

Yeah just the french flag colours.

Last night i was sat speaking in a car park for about 15mins and noticed lights started to flicker so went to strike it up and it wouldn't start so tried to bump it but nothing tried jump leads and power pack but nothing so had to ring AA, 2 power packs only just got it going but he had to bypass it with some spray stuff :S which started it and he said if it does it again its possibly crank sensor, battery or alternator :(
Trusty old French!!

Woke up this morning for work and went and stuck it up to see if it was flat and its fine, been on and off about 5 times today and started first time each time. So not too sure. Will be getting it checked this weekend tho.

TDC sensor stops it starting but the engine will turn over on the key, battery is self explanatory (as it has hels a charge seems to be okay), alternator must be working because you have some charge in your battery after 5+starts and using the car. My bet is on a faulty earth from body to gearbox-they wear out after years of flexing with engine movement. If it happens again try a jump lead from engine (any metal part really) to the batt negative. This will simulate the earth straps job to a degree. The earth strap can be seen behind the splash guard with the wheel off.

172 rear bumper would finish that off, other than that it's really smart. Not keen on the yellow on the wheels though, but the wheels themself really suit it. Deffo keep them.

Yesterday was nice so cleaned the egr valve out and polished my engine mount.
Gave it a clean and wax today too.

Orderd a few goodies, got some camber bolts for when my coilies come, rear camber shims and a rear strut brace as it was cheap.

Looking to spray my wheels to before fcs thinking silver, any opinions...
