Obviously they didn't do a red SI but there seems to be plenty of red SI reps

[MK3-MATT]

Update for y'all,

finished off the rear valance, not the best but still tidier than before,


from




After some bashing, swearing, grinding, fillering and painting:



I know its not perfect by any means but i'm happy with it

[Dave G fsi]

looking better mate

[MK3-MATT]

A few winter pics...









Merry Christmas!

[Dave G fsi]

Looking very nice mate.

There is something long and yellow missing off the back tho and something long and white missing off the front

[MK3-MATT]

well spotted Dave

The front ones been off for a while, and the back one's been off cause i polished behind it

[MK3-MATT]

Thats a point, do you or anybody, know of a decent plate printers?

[Dave G fsi]

lol, get mine from halfords. They do a pretty decent job. Get the sticky pads from there too as I hate the look of a plate with screw holes in it

[MK3-MATT]

how much do they cost?

[Dave G fsi]

I think they are about £12 each from memory, but will check for you if you like. You have to take in some documentation to prove you own the car and that is the reg when you do it.

[MK3-MATT]

that would be good mate yeah i've got the v5 handy so thats no problem.

Merry Christmas to all!

[MK3-MATT]

[MK3-MATT]

No mate, got my driving test in a few weeks and its just run out of MOT and tax hence why its always at the same place

[jonyb4]

good luck with the test man, i know its a bit soon but i may forget

[MK3-MATT]

cheers dude, second time around, had my first one in december, got 3 minors 1 major

[jonyb4]

what was the major?


i passed first time with 7 or 8 minors i think, cat really remember now lol was over 2 years ago

jesus its gone quick lol, i remember being SOOO nervious though, its the nerves that ake you fail mostly

[MK3-MATT]

Well everyone has an excuse as to why they've failed but, basically, i was at junction/ crossroads with a filter light, filter light came on, i set off and some gammon slipper in a mondeo came bombing across so i had to brake and he gave me a serious for it I couldn't even see him coming either as the direction he was coming from was down hill so you couldn't see until he reached the top.

[jonyb4]

[MK3-MATT]

I was gutted, its like so close but so far, i wouldn't of mind if I'd of made a complete balls of it but that's life aye.

[Dave G fsi]

Cars looking good mate. You putting the other backbox back on after the mot?

Good luck in your test in a few weeks

[MK3-MATT]

probably, although I've fitted it so well i might leave it for a while feels a bit quicker too, although it might just be me, and cheers

[MK3-MATT]

PASSED

[jonyb4]

yaay, ha well done man

[Dave G fsi]

Brilliant news mate, well done!

EDIT: i thought you were meaning the rotheram, shipyard meet on the 22nd, i'll be off to that fingers crossed! So hopefully I'll see you there.

[MK3-MATT]

Got her in for the MOT today and she failed on one thing - needs a patch of welding on the sill, other than that nothing, no advisories so I'm well pleased!

[jonyb4]

[MK3-MATT]

[MK3-MATT]

Well Its been agessssss since i've been on here so thought i best update the thread! I've been really busy over the past months with various changes in life, blah blahh. Anyway, I passed my test in march and have been driving her none stop since and she's still going strong!

A few bits have changed on the car since getting her on the road, mainly a new direct fit back box and some new, well, part-worn tires for my RS 2000 wheels oh i've also replaced the front discs and pads with mintex break box kit too as they were shagged.

I've lost alot of pictures from the recent months after my laptop went belly up so i have 1 measley photo from FITP for now



bye!

[jonyb4]

looks good man, i do remember seing it there come to think

[MK3-MATT]

Yeah i saw you're mark 4 too, didn't see you about though I had a black steelie on the passenger side front in that pic as i had a puncture on the way there so it stuck out like a soar thumb

I always thought you'd go back to an SI and looks like you've given in and done it

[jonyb4]

haha i know i love them, such a good young enthusiasts car
