Got an opportunity to buy a full votex kit for a B5.5. It's side skirts, front and rear bumpers with grills and fogs. What's it worth?

Do I need to replace any sensors? Car is a 51 plate 2.0 8v petrol AZM engine 115BHP. Thanks in advance. R...

Cheapest windscreen replacement

Hi all. Looking for the cheapest place to get a new windscreen supplied and fitted as annoyingly it is not covered on my insurance. I can drive the car to get it done if need be. I'm located near Colchester, Essex.

Any help appreciated!

Late B5.5 and B6 Mirrors.... The same?

Does anyone know if the late type B5.5 mirrors (with the indicators in them) are the same as B6 mirrors? They look identical from pictures but are they in reality? Wondering if they are interchangeable between B6 and B5.5.

Spotted in Tolleshunt Darcy on Maldon Road, Essex. Looked rude! I was parked in the Black B5.5 saloon lowered on wide 18s by the Indian restaurant. Anyone on here?

Re: My PassRat

My opinions on wheels would be banded 18" space savers off the new Mercedes B class, Whitewalls and old beetle chrome hub caps..... Or some highly polished, wide, dished wheels. Paint looks awesome and the rusty plastic will confuse a few!
