Nice one Spikey...

All you need now is
307 HDi front brake set up...(Exactly the same as the 180gti but half the price )
Baffled sump and uprated oil spring..Stop the oil surge
309 Rear beam and 306 rear arms for wider track and neg camber

What sort of price are these fetching now?

I might have a G reg, 1.9 coming in p/ex, apparently its a "special", what does that mean? Good for window lickers?
