No it doesnt have to be on. Because its not a structural part of the car. But if a new car was missing a bumper it would fail as its covering structural components and crumple zones.

Nice rat mate! Love details like the shopping list, and the 'hand painted' details.

However, this is a family-friendly forum, so as a mod, can I ask you to either censor, or remove the tax disc photo, it's an insanely funny addition, but as I say, there's a reputation to uphold here, and swearing breaches the rules.

Sorry to bring a downer to an otherwise awesome thread!

Also, I can but assume that yellow fiat coupe had broken down ;)

That's a beast my daily diesel 5 door might aswell be a rat but I Havnt got the balls to go to town on it like you. What you need now is a monster of an engine all polished up and looking amazing and some ridiculously shiny in trend wheels and I'm sure you'd win some prizes somewhere.

ive got some 13x8 steel wellars to go on very very soon in bright orange, they are having some stretch put on them tomorrow.
then it'll just be sorting out the arches.

and yeah i need a 2.0TDI passat engine :) thats what i need :)

Has anyone done one of those before? I've seen a few modern 1.9 tdis but guess it can't be too far apart. I'd go for a 1.6gtd (like I already have) or the 1.9 damn site less electronics to faff about with.

Post

Back to the top
yeah ideally i would like a 2.0TDI but i would settle for a 1.9TDI or 1.8TDI :P hehe either way i want a modern deisel conversion at some point in the future.
