What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[KIbby96]

It does indeed. It only cost about £210 or so delivered and took about an hour to fit.

The only pain in the hole is that I jumped into the car this morning and one of the rear air springs have exploded. I’m not treating it to anything fancy again.

Someone clearly enjoyed the Christmas food

Removed 2.5 months worth of dirt.
Stuck in some genuine rubber mats.

How much is it lowered?

H&R 35mm springs.

Split and cleaned the foglights (and found one was broken/stone chip, and painted a racey red stripe around it to make it go faster.. painted front VW badge too.

Also fitted a replacement wiper stalk, when I hit a bump on the road the washers/wipers used to go flat out - hopefully this sorts it!

Old stuff is so easy worked on compared to modern stuff.

I started into all this at about half 10 when kids went to bed so it was all productive enough for being late at night. Wouldn't say the paint efforts are by any means perfect, but it's a shedload tidier than before I went all art-attack on it!

That would make a fantastic piece of wall art! ❤

Ha. I was thinking exactly the same thing!

Merc failed its MoT on a broken spring. Just finished putting it back together again after fixing that then tracing an annoying rattle to a drop link. Test drive done and its back to its quiet, waft-tastic self

You can fix 90% of a Mk2 Golf with a star-head screwdriver and a Spider wheel-brace!

What shape's the wheel

 

[thefool1983]

What shape's the wheel

Not a mark! Can't understand it at all. Wishbone fine as well. She's maintaining its an old injury. Could possibly be...as the wheels were still pointing roughly the same direction

 

[roadsteralex]

Fitted coilovers
Adjusted my new front undertray / splitter

 

[Ben]

Original plate back on

 

[weeloaney]

Washed it again

As well as the parents merc, fathers wee van and the transit which needed heavy green build up removed from the roof. Anachem Citraclean done a great job

 

[Boydie]

Clayed it last weekend, just goes to show when you think your car is clean, it isn’t…

 

[Ben P]

New style quattro badge
Small lip spoiler

 

[stevensti]

Gave the dirty girl a wash. Citra clean, cleanse, articulate, ultra foam and gleam all used @Big Pimp

 

[Chris0]

Started to take the other wing off and had to tackle these wee c**ts

Any decent replacements that aren’t a pile of rubbish?

 

[KevM]

Started it and let it run for half an our.

After 3-4 months and because 133k mile Flat-6, it really should have sounded like a scary expensive bag of spanners, but no, there's just no fuss at all!

I can't wait til the salt has gone....

Staying up at my folks over new year so thought I’d give my mums car some TLC

Started raining so just got some QD on it. Once it dries I’ll get some polish and wax on it

Tlc? I think you mean OCD
