My daughter is doing great thanks. Possibly rear cage, defo front and rear braces. I never liked pearl white, looks dirty to me lol. You could always get seats re-trimmed with green (alacantra) would be so cool. But do it what ever colour you like mate, how about Java green from the MK2 RS2000, very different

going to strip the white one, that was always the plan. I saw this car every time i took my eldest to and from school, parked on road with the tax slowly running out, then it dissapeared down his drive, so i just had to enquire lol.
Put charged battery on and it started first time no rattles nothing, well pleased mate.
2.0 Air Con 126k on the clock, no MOT but that aint much to worry about.

We were at a party for one of the kids that was on the cancer ward with my daughter and i commented to the lady about the play floor and she said she hated it and was ripping it up, so i said when you do ring me which she did, and i got 143 tiles for nothing , SWEET. I must admit the floor is nice to sit on now .
