I really want to go, and I think we where going to organise a trip but things have kind of changed direction. I think maybe a small group may go to wolfsburg as it would be a shame to miss the anniversary.
Nice work on the car by the way VW man

more pics more pics more pics with the ATS cups!

paint your calipers with Lexus Barley Gold (i think it is that colour i can't remember exactly :?  but its that gold lexus colour anyway) it looks exactly like the yellow plating and it will protect the callipers and look shiney longer than yellow plating..

i got a tin mixed up for like ?5!

Welcome back vw-man!

It's been ages since I saw what you've done to your car, but I have to say it looks great :y: I'm looking forward to seeing it when it's finished.

I can't make the Wolfsburg meet either as my golf isn't ready but maybe next year - I hope mine will be running by then  :)
