hi all, im going away on my jollies shortly and due to my wifes polo being out of MOT i need to take the VR6 As ive got bbq gas cylinders and the like ineed to sort out a roof rack and sharpish. Anyone here got one they dont want, or know of one for sale - ideally looking for a genuine VW or thule, but open to others. Cheers

ill be going Rich Ball P10WVW

some nice pics there mate, from what my bro said (M17 TBS) he weather was hot and made for a great show. Just wish I could have gone.

thanks steve, got a engine problem at the mo. cant wait to get it back running

OK so ive tried 4 "garages" now to get a compression or headgasket test done - not 1 would do it for me, saying ill need to book it in sometime in a week or 2 :@ Ive now had to take the car off the road as it used almost all of its water/coolant in just over 2 hrs driving!!!!! ive checked the oil cap - still clean, checked the dipstick and although clean there seemed to be more oil than 4 days ago? The car hasnt overheated at all but the temp needle is flickering a bit, which i have never seen before. Im assuming that the headgasket has gone or is about to :-( but one "garage" told me that

17x10 sounds great. i was wondering if 17x10 wheels would fit under my rear arches, its had plenty of pull and rolling done so the 9s with et15 tuck under nicely. something for the future

Im in Dudley mate, yes it was up in snowy scotland. Loved the car and was amazed when it came up for sale.

the ZW1s are great wheels, but for me i love the wide look. and the 16"s allow you to go a little lower.

my good, amazing work mate. looking at the pics the paint is immaculate and knowing how hard black is to get right the finish looks outstanding. Also in my opinion (for what its worth) the 2 tone satin/gloss bonnet is genius. great car!

thanks for the replies guys. the wheels are Brock B1s 16"x9" et15 all round (spacers front). Tyres are Hankook Ventus S1 evo 215/35/16.

thanks phil, yeah you probably seen it before the bonnet bra is to try and give it some protection, as its been my daily for the last 8 months or so im trying to limit the stone chips. rich

final one for now......

love this angle, you can see the stretch and camber
