[Harkus]

Cheers buddy, the rear arches are screwed on mine they've both been scrapped...previous owners grrr!.

[Harkus]

Ok so little update and not so good...

Had it plugged in, in work this week and came up with the MAF sensor and both exhaust sensors, so cleared then guna leave it a week plug it back in and double check

Got home from work today and couldn't park outside my own house, mrs is out so if I park on the drive she'll moan at me so decided to park on the grass...no big deal bumper don't catch.... At least I thought...

So put it on the grass ever so slow and SCRAPE... Yeah turns out the gsi bunker catches...



Hmm how to get off... I know I'll take the bumper off..only two bolts and two screws...



Easy rite....NO then I discover this...


Not happy at all, so going to real seal it and fibre glass over it and get it back on, tamping is an understatement!.

[Harkus]
