dude, i thought you were a girl. But thats a disturbing story, for another day.
open a photobucket account, upload your pics there from your pc,
copy the bottom link from the photobucket pic you want to post,
paste that straight into the thread.
ta da.
now go do.

Dont look too bad really I did get a bit worried wen i first came on here an i seen someone sayin that 195 wheels would most likely rub but the wheels i got on it are 205/40/17's an only rub a lil bit on full lock!
I also want to find out how to debadge the front grill or mesh it would be nice to find a ready made one that would make life a whole lot easier

pop the grille off,
pop the badge strip off.
dremel the mounts off
and rub it down/ fill as necissary. flashover with paint if needed.
Filthyjohn did my mk 2 mind. though its not on the car atm.
can send you pics if you like.
yours looks cool on the big wheels and all man, but its beggin to be dropped a couple of inches.
15s with a drop max.
or keep running standard ride and live with the bodyroll.
I was amazed at how much it firmed up with the drop, but if its not bothering you, then really no need!

if you could send some pics mate that would be great so i can kind of see wat im workin with.

Funnily enough my one came from Yeovil. Still got the dealer sticker in the window.
I'm in Minehead but by south west standards that's still close

I'm six odd miles from Kaos. That's practically nextdoor.
