I've heard people having issues with wear on the sidewalls of the tyres when running whitewall spats. The wear is hidden behind the spat, so it's far from obvious.

That's not to say they're unsafe, or to put you off, just to flag up that you'd ...

Thanks guys, yea it is turning out how I wanted, Not really done anything else yet, but did take my mate to Dartford to buy a B5.5 Passat. When we went for a test drive we discovered the turbo was totally shot! was lovely of this Romanian chap to tell us that before driving 100 miles.... Anyway we ...

So I thought I'd have a crack at painting the roof! I don't have the facilities to do it inside so had to just mask up and make do, Its fair to say I made a bit of a pigs ear of it.

And here is a reason why I made the right decision getting a wagon. The second day I had it my brother asked for its use!

So I spotted some JOM coilovers on Gumtree that had been removed from a wagon. They were up for £80. managed to get them for £60!!! now I know its a massive gamble not only buying second hand coilovers but buying second hand budget coilovers! but hey, we'll see! can you guys just look and see if ...

Hey guys any idea why the pictures are not displaying? When I attach them it says 'not downloaded yet' rather not use photobucket!
