Julian, I've got it! You need yellow tinted indicators with orange bulbs like an early Beetle.

Damn sweet marmite if you ask me! Man I love your car. I think we got a really good duo going now that mine is toned down a little dude, its like the same flavoured chalk and cheese!

Yep , we'll have to get tthem parked up together again one day mate . The front end's gone a little more OTT since you last saw it cos I fitted a slightly altered Votex grille ( freebie :-p ) and of course the swamp cooler is whacked on the side :unibrow:

Anyway , sorry for the thread hijack :oops: Let's see some more pics of that sweet polo of your's and enough of mine !

How do you not smash off the splitter on the roads round here? :lol:

Loving the camber.

fuck me that cambers mad

do you like wheel bearings? lol

That Camber does look insane Jimmy ..

Think I'm going to have to go for around 3Deg.

Any comment regarding the handling at all mate ?

Jimmy , I like the sound of the yellow indicators . I may tint the headlight protectors or something ? Also , the lacquer on the roof has got pretty bad lately so may be doing a spot of lace painting for a laugh ( and if it all goes wrong then a black vinyl roof or similar )

Cymro , the splitter thing is slowly wearing away from going in and out of my driveway :lol:

that looks bonkers! love the votex grille, looks spot on.

whats the splitter? lokks like a chopped down polo bumper flipped upside down

Cheers Jon :-D You are right , it is the bottom of a polo bumper flipped upside down ! It was from an old scuffed bumper I found so cost nothing and is pretty indestructable :lol: The votex grille came off a mates car who hated the grille and wanted to swap it for a standard one so that was free as well , the spot lights were pretty knackered though so I fitted a couple of Notek blue spots from the tat stash along with an old 'No worries' badge from my bug :-)

JimmyB , give us an update on the polo as I'm feeling guilty for the thread hijack :oops:

Deleted washer bottle, relocated alarm, deleted oil catch tank (oil breather is gonna be rerouted to the charger), all still needs cleaning under the bonnet:
