[fergie458]

engine looks in much better nick than myn lol, mines got a bit of oil coming from the top, do u fink its jus the rocker gasket?

it could be that is the case i have changed thr gasket on mine but and iv have no problems in that area since it could also depend on the oil filter if you have a K&N oil filter on or something similar that could also be leaking,
getting a new rocker cover mine is starting to get abit of rust by the gasket.

[jamie8v]

[fergie458]

[fergie458]

im looking to get hold of a gti interior, newb question in no but were should i look to get a good set cheap?

[Joe3490]

Heya m8 how much u pay for ur new bumper ?? i need new one was hit other day taking off my drivers wingmirror and cracking teh front bumper and wheel arch skirt:@ i was soo pissed off :@ anyway im looking to get a new one but all i can find are primed ones is there anywhere you can buy ones that are pre colour coded? or is it best to go to a breakers yard??

alright m8 i paid £50 for my bumper off ebay but it only came primed :n: but was ok for the price, i did go aorund alot of the local breakers yards but you will be doing well to find a saxo vtr/s furio bumper in there cause what i found was that they mostly tend to have had a front ender,
you should be albe to get the arch from one easy its just possibly a waiting game to find one in the right colour.
i got my bumper spraid and laquered for £40ish if you live close can ask the chap to do the same job for you when you need it?

[Joe3490]

haha well i dnt live hear you so thats not an option lol, ill need to have a look on ebay but cheapest i found so far was £100 primed :( so not good, but im sure spraying should onl be £50-£70 or i do it myself with few mates lol
cheers for that tho m8 ill keep looking :)
