Well worth the effort.

Mine before I started-


And later that evening!


Saved me buying some new units before I install my HIDs. Top stuff.

Maryland Route 58

Out there right now

Drove it
Fitted new wheels
Filled the back with a patio
Blew a tyre on the motorway
Took it it to Italy (and back)
Slept in it (twice)
Got it dirty
Washed it once or twice
Fitted my old wheels ready for winter
Praised it everytime I drove it
And generally lugged my bikes around the country!

Is there any neeed to inform your insurer when changing back to the cars original wheels from after market alloys?

I'm sure they could kick up a stink if they wanted.

Asking because I'm about to change mine back before the usual winter motorway madness.

I clay my car every now and then, normaly when I pass another car on a narrow road and stick a wheel into the mud.

But seriously, why bother?

Just reading it!

Teach me for starting reading posts from the bottom..

cheers.

Any one done this themselves?

I've just done a head gasket on my gf's car and replaced the timing belt as a mater of course. Not too bad on a punto with a small transverse engine. I imagine the front has to come off the passat though?

Bad luck chaps! :( I had a couple of scrotes use my car as a pavement a while back. Few choice scratches and a small dent on the bonnet. :evil: Thing which really pees me off is that it happened at a staff meeting held in a community centre. Because that nights youth club had been canceled the youth...

All fur coat and no knickers.

Only two good Fords, the GT40 and the Transit Van. 8)

It was actually quite cosy, the Thermarest helped, nice and soft. I sleep on my side anyway so I just had to curl up like a baby! I wasn't so keen on having some french guy peer in at me though. :roll: We did try and find a hotel in a little town just off the Peage, I think they saw us coming though...

Just spent the past 30min flying over my house and round the Lakes! 8)

Seems like ages since I've been on here! That’s what happens when your computer decides to welcome every bit of spyware and virus it can find. When you get it all working you forget what you did on it! Anyway we went to Italy in the car last month and she never missed a beat :D We totalled up all ...

Well, if you looked when we were on our way to Italy a month or so ago you would have found me and paula sleeping! http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/BikeLugger/Passat/HotelPassat.jpg Otherwise It depends what I've got on at work. As my name sugests, Mountain bikes and assorted kit. Or kit neede...

Bit of a change to the plan. Now going to Italy instead! Used ferrysavers still thanks, £147 return Dover to Calais.

Plan to stooge through the alps to look at the scenery (and enjoy the roads ) then stop with Paulas auntie in Genova for a day or so. Nice 8)

8) well there is aman with taste, do you also bimble about on the vfr site in the oracle ?. I wish i could send my wife to New York sometime so i can ride the bike more often. I manage 4-5000 miles a year Pied Piper Thanks! I have registered with the oracle site but not posted (other than in the no...

Just bought this little baby, bit more of a 'proper bike' than my little xj600. http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/BikeLugger/bikes/03082007002.jpg http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/BikeLugger/bikes/VFR4.jpg http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/BikeLugger/bikes/VFR3.jpg Honda VFR 800Fi No...

Anyone got a link to get cheap ferry crossings to dublin? Plan to sail from Holyhead, only a couple of hours from us and saves a long time sat waiting on the ferry. Current prices found on various sites for early August are around £250 - £270 return! :shock: Is this abought right for two people an...

I met a council work crew in their van driving towards me with one wheel on the pavement of my side of the road on a narrow blind bend lined with trees. But as I took an evasive past them to the shocked looks of the driver of a Jeep Cherokee I was now heading towards, I noticed the van had its hazar...

Snap!! Did mine before I shoved them in the top of the garage till winter.




Messy but satisfying when they are done.

*Drool*

Love the second photo!

Very nice motor. 8)

How much did you pay for the shades and have you any pics of them from the inside? I was thinking of tints for mine but sunshades might be an alternative.

I looked at a couple of saloons before I was won over by an estate. I think I would have been kicking myself everytime I had to pull my bike to bits in the rain and chipped paint threading it into the boot of a saloon. Very hapy with an estate. Miles easier loading stuff, easily swallows bikes whole...

Yup, Its just condensation. The Air con takes moisture from the air in the cabin and it's got to go somewhere! Mine doesn't drip too much but a mates Mk5 golf looks like his car is having a wee when he stops :? Just to be sure try and give a bit a feel and a smell. If it's not just water you might w...

I like it 8)

Its all true the top pinch bolts are a Bas***d The only other pain in the neck is removing the plastic gromits from in side the scuttle panel, when they seam seal the car at the fractory they must go mad with the sealer as all four of mine were stuck solid and i had to trash them to get them out. A...
