I've got from tomorrow untill next Wednesday off to do a lot of things to the car that I have been putting off. I hope to give her a good bath and polish also and take some nice shots of her in her new form...

Well I got my tyres on the fronts and then went to fit them but soon discovered my bolts were to long So - still no front wheels. I'm off to borrow a mate vice tomorrow for the exciting task of chopping 10 bolts down to size..... Oh the excitment.

On a side note, I caught up with William when I grabbed my tyres. I got a set of crystal indicators now wich look much cleaner than the crappy foggy things that were on there before. It's a much fresher look - thanks champ!

For hose who want to know - I ended up with the Falken FK452's in the 215/25/29 variant and they look pretty snazzy stretched over the 8.5" rim.

Unfortunetly I'm now running out of day light so I wont get to fit my rear lights today, but I'm on hollidays so I have heaps of time....

I also have a TT shifter here that I'm going to see if I can modify to make it fit my car. There's just one thing I need to get pressed out and drilled out a bit and from what I have seen it should fit. Another job on my to do list...

More updates to follow...

Patience!!! I've had a rather busy day.

I discovered my fault with no rear lights was in fact my break switch - Millan and the gents from TCCA Motorsport are sorting that out along with shortening down the bolts for my adapters. In short, tomorrow I'll finaly have all 4 of my wheels on with break lights with hopefully new lenses and deleted rear wiper! Yay.

That is all...

Excellent. Good to hear. What about the ABS not kicking in? Was that caused by the brake switch as well?

[99gti]

No, that was because of the difference in the size of the wheels. It just happened to be a complete fluke that my break light switch died at the same time! What's the chances of that!

[99gti]

I have one word to say..... PIMPING!!!

It's finaly done, the wheels are on, I have break lights again, and also new tail lights. The car looks completly different. I'm just going to see if I can find my heat gun and go and remove my rear GTI badge and then I'll take some shots for ya'll.

I'm pretty chuffed right now. Photos to follow...
