i am abit OCD when it comes to cars! they have to be immacualte! and clean at all times! will probs show when you see the photos.

here are some few pics.

Has lots of plans. Polo is booked into the body shop on the 6th of August, so very soon, full respray in Reflex silver. Gloss black roof, mirrors and spoiler. so as of then the paint will be perfect, this includes all arches being rolled.

The interior is next job, shall be sent to MJ's... full retrim... top to bottom.

Got my eyes on a new set of boots at the moment... they need some work, but there rare! so might be worth it!

then have one big suprise, which i am collecting parts for as of now, wont be long till its done!

the aim is for the car to be done for next years UD.

any feed back welcome... keep eyes on this thread over the next few months

whats the handling like with camber up front? car looks sweet man :)

That looks immaculate nice and subtle too. Making me realize how badly i need to clean mine. Looking forward for the future plans! :)

Also whats the mileage? Looks a really good example.

handling is alright mate, tbh its to low to even think about driving it fast round a corner! I'm more of the slow and low type... when i first put the camber on it was bit weird, but once i had it tracked with the camber on, it has been fine... just eats inner tyres! haha

thanks mate, yeah i like it being so clean, helps the person before me was a car valeter, so was clean before i had it, just had to got a bit OTT like normal and clean stuts and things like that! but clean is good. it has 92000 on the clock, and has had the gearbox and clutch done, so in theory 'bombproof' now. and yeah plans are good just time with out my car i carnt deal with, s gets done when i can

just found these 2 other photos while on comp, defo looks low on the first one! ha

Like that a lot mate , love it when I'm not the only one that's got pcd about having a clean car , always get the cloth out randomly if I spot abit of dirt

haha, yes i have my quick detail er and a few microfibers in the car at all times... just in case! haha Mrs gets a tad annoyed when i park as far away from anyone or the shops! haha

Also, you say the gearbox and clutch have been done? My gearbox is crunching into 3rd and 5th so need to get that sorted! Do you know a bill park figure as to how much it would be?

Cheers

i had my gearbox refurbished and a new LUK clutch kit... cost me 650, then 100 for fitting (mates rates) so 750 in total.. dont know if thats expensive or cheap but all nice for me now

thats really nice mate. you had any chassis work done? my arb rubs at the moment and I'm maybe 10mm higher than you. I'm thinking a chassis notch might help!

Love it, especially the wheels! If you ever come to sell them, PM me! :)

as you have said that, i have been looking for new wheels, these have just had 4 brand new tyres to... PM me a price.... and see what we can come up with...

wheels are in MINT condtion like round the edge! no curbing or anything... but there is a little laqure peel here and there.... if i was going to keep them, id take the laqure off and polish them.

Bit of a small update, ordered new manifold cover (will be polished up when it arrives), Coolant bottle, Washer Bottle, new engine cover which will be colour coded.

These should all be here, end of week... so will try get these in for end of next week when she get back from respray

just given the bay a full coat in Engine Degreaser, got a toothbrush and spent the last 3 hours cleaning all the small bits here and there, and polished and waxed all paintwork under there and dressed the plastics.... will get some pics up latter.
