[Wheel Arches]

bit of an update: I was at Top Gear the other day getting a silly big exhaust fitted when a burberry capped young lad brought in his Fiesta to 'have me arches done mate' lol - anyway I watched the guy roll his arches with one of those special tools that fixes to the hub etc... Looked spot on when he'd finished -

and the best bit

£25 per arch

I asked him to do mine while I was there but he was chocablock so I'll get them done in the near future. Well impressed as its only 5 miles away hehe

cheers for the tips chaps!

Purpline mate, let us know how you get on at ABS in Sheffield, what sort of price is it costing you? Would not be a problem for me as Sheffield's only an hour or so away

[Advice on relocating washer jets?]

on my mates, we fitted a carbon fibre bonnet a couple of weeks back with no jets. He has fitted the washers onto the wiper arms, sounds like a bodge but to be honest it's a pretty impressive job and works well.

another plan (which I might do yet) is to fit mk4 golf jets which sit under the back edge of the bonnet, and they also flood the screen with wash fluid instead of 2 poxy jets.

good luck

[Any know the paint code??]

Looks like one of mine. There are a few different finishes available apparently, mine are imported 'ball burnished aluminium' as seen on the mk4 anniversary, and nowhere wants to touch them for a refurb I really shouldn't be allowed BBS wheels the state mine are in

[Mirrors]

Cult Society ones, they look top, a bit like mk4 ones, or cabrio mirrors. Personally not keen on the m3/dtm style ones you see everywhere but its upto you! Hope that helps

[Wheel Arches]

Just had a quote of £240 from Impact in Brighouse to get my arches sorted (all 4) so my 17s will clear with no rubbing. They said they won't roll them as such, but cut them back so they clear the wheels. Is this a good price?

Does anyone know anywhere else in the North that does this? I know theres loads of places darn saaf that do it but none up here

[[moved] Has any one put 18" 215 40's on there mk3 without any probs?]

i am lowered about 50mm and need my arches rolling really. I run 7.5x17 BBS with 205/40 tyres

[Still looking.....]

me too I looked at about 7 absolute dogs before I bought my current one, which was the 1st one I looked at.

btw don't believe anyone on here, MULBERRY is THE colour as it's unique hehehe

[[poll] How much have u Spent So FAR then?]

Next month -Relocate Washer Jets

Apparently some peugeot's have these located on the wipers' date=' and is an easy mod. Madvr6 has done this and filled in the bonnet holes, all of them! LoOks mean as fcuk with the custom bonnet vents but he still hasn't bothered to put pictures up yet. HINT!!!

[/quote']

why not try to fit mk4 jets? They sit under the back edge of the bonnet, and flood the screen as opposed to firing 2 jets. We fitted my mates carbon bonnet the other day and he's probably gonna do this so we'll keep u posted.

btw no price break-down but I have around £8k in my car

[R32 PEDAL KIT]

also the R32 pedals are not that grippy..

they look nice mind

[Sold my Mk4 Turbo... Bought a VR6!]

and I did the same as you Mike79, I had a mk4 turbo and sold it due to redundancy and got a Highline. It certainly wasn't the worst decision I've ever made, the mk3 is so much better in a lot of ways.

[Fitting bonnet lifters]

my bonnet sits perfectly ok with the Supersport ones I got - one of them is starting to corrode a bit tho

[Group Buy: Samco Hoses *updated*]

They won't affect performance but I think they'll be loads stronger than the standard rubber pipework and won't split, which is good

[[moved] Wheel Arch Widening]

cheers matey, you've had yours done haven't you? I shall check it out on Sunday!

[[moved] Wheel Arch Widening]

sh*te I knew they weren't cheap but I didn't think it'd need that, I saw K9ANY's motor at a meet a couple of months back and he had very wide CR7 rims on it, with arches rolled at Style Dynamix but they are down south

Did you ask Impact how much just to roll the arch lips?

[[moved] Wheel Arch Widening]

You could try Impact in Brighouse

www.impactrepaircentre.com or 01484 381111

I need my arches rolling so I might be having a wander down there soon

[Polo Mk4 Door handles]

same here but I'd do a group buy on the Polo ones, they look infinitely better and loads more upto date than mk3 rears

[Filming the RR runs ?]

My mates offered to loan me his new digi vid cam for the day but if someone else is taking one I'll just bring my normal digicam

[How much have you spent on your VR?]

Dunno exactly how much, but I've got well over £8k in my car Had it for 18months now

[Anyone taking used parts to Stealth?]

I'll get a sticker off you too Pete I'm coming to the meet with 1990 in his mk3

[Problems - Flat battery]

Same sort of thing happened on mine, sorted after I fitted a new battery
