I have to agree with quite a few of the comments. My wife has had one for a few months its in silver and is totally standard apart from a set of Eibachs on it. The car has a way of getting under your skin. The seats are incredibly comfy and the fit and finish is just great. Its a lovely place to...

This was one of my little brothers MK2's. My wife had this for a wee bit. I have had a few MK2's. This was one of my favorites. Also had an Audi S2. Then had one of my all time favorite cars. An Audi RS2.

I want you to make me one of those battery covers. Such a great idea.

Thoroughly enjoyed your other thread so looking forward to this one as well. I am thinking of going down the same induction route. Could you let me know the exact measurements for the 90 degree elbows, joiner and the filter so I make sure I get the correct parts. Thanks

Lovely places which are so close to my heart. I frequently headed across to Fort William and Skye and loved every minute of it. The roads are great as long as there is not a long line of tourists but your photos are incredible. When you visit Elgol it is such an incredible sight. We have a road...

Absolutely love these things. Don't know how many times I have watched that Top Gear episode where they pitched it against the E63 AMG on the runway. I looked into these a few years back when I was compiling my dream car and this seemed to cover all basis. I remember reading somewhere that the...

I got round to taking out the seat spacers after reading your thread Dan but a quick question. Does your seat still slide? Both mine slide but with loads of effort I guess this is just because they are now catching on the carpet. Did you place any washers/rubber grommets as from underneath I...

Have you taken off your inner wheel arches on the front? I had a similar problem and I thought it was coming from the bulkhead. I pulled off the inner arches and the amount of mud was incredible. I think it was almost creating a dam and the water was then going under the door seal. Worth a look...

Noticed a small amount of water and more condensation than normal in the passenger footwell. Done loads of searches on here and the scuttle drain holes seem like a good place to start but it would be nice if the rain let up. On inspecting the door seals I have noticed that they are not in the...

I have used the MTEC bulbs that you get on HID's Direct in a number of my cars and have found them pretty good.

I used to live in Laurencekirk just south of Stonehaven and we would often nip across to Aviemore or head across to Fort William that way. It really is a superb road with not a lot of traffic but very well sighted so easy to overtake. Must have been fun in the M3. I did it in one of my old cars...

Love this little car. Makes me want to get some wind deflectors and a new set of wheels on mine. Not sure you should put a picture of you disposing of a body on here.

Well looks like some good came out of it. I mentioned it to my wife who was not happy with it so she contacted the courier and they said that as a goodwill gesture they will refund the transport costs so at least I can put it towards a new bonnet. Thanks for the advice on the ECP bonnets I do...

If anyone has a Black Gold bonnet in excellent condition I will happily take it off your hands. Back to square one. I wish I didn't like having a spotless car like I have some form of OCD then I wouldn't care.

Yeah I read all the terms and conditions and I thought the same but when I checked on the packaging they must use other courier companies and they have used TNT. It looks like going down the respray route would have been the better options but I didn't want to have to get the wings blended in to...
