Awsome. Was chatting to one of the 52 guys bout getting my jacking points done. That Golf's sticker bombing is epic! I'm sticker bombing the windows very gradually. I dont want to spend £50 on stickers and then find i want an oil cooler set up or something for the new engine! :lol:

What have you got in mind for the change of looks?

Btw, pedo bear, proper awsome sticker!

lol yeah it gets a few chuckles. Some people just look at me in disgust (neighbours etc). I lol'd.

As for change of looks, it's pretty happy as it is at the moment. I've got some ideas that will remain a surprise. I usually think of new ideas while daydreaming and think "yep, that'd work" and then do them on the day. They usually turn out to be great ideas :D

Judging by how they rust it's probably not a deliberate ratting... nice cars though!

Are mk1's worse than mk2's? As they seem pretty bullet proof, I know of a few. Certain better than 300's :lol:

Sorry for the jack Speedy, the stripes do look awesome!
