Good little report that :) Have you made sure that the wiper arm has clicked into place? I sometimes have that problem with universal clips on wiper blades.

FPMSL! :eek: I wondered what his site was about, so I clicked the tour button - OMG! Sooooooo NWS!!:eek: :dead: I might have to wash my eyes out with soap, or acid - much like Ned Flanders on the Simpsons did to Rod and Tod - "The burning is love"!

TBH jooliona, I think you are worrying about nothing. It's not like you'll be doing a track day - it's just a slow speed parade lap. You'd have to be a total numpty to crash on a parade lap!

V6s make me do a sex wee :o

Spotted in the car park this lunchtime. Anyone off here?

Shouldn't wiper blades be replaced anually as a matter of course? I would imagine 2 year old blades are going to be fairly shagged if you do an average yearly mileage? Mine barely last 9 months!

^^ Jesus, I hope you get that sorted matey.

Yeah like others have said the rev range is odd, but the top speed is 160mph. Could it be off a 1.6 16v or something like that? P.S. I'm loving the blue backlighting!

I'd love a mk2, but I've not seen one for much less then £18000 :eek:

My mate has these flat wipers on his mk5 Golf TDi, and tbh, I thought they were 10 times better than conventional wipers. They're quiet, and they work like a pair of squeegees (sp?). I'll definitely be ordering a pair when the time comes for replacement.

Let us know how it goes and what you think of it.

I'm sure Mike@Rentech has a 172 with 182 wheels. Looks fine tbh, no different to a 182, other than the exhausts of course!

No problemo. Make sure you give it a thorough going over before parting with any cash though! PS. Sometimes the dealers forgot to put the front splitters on, even though the car suppsedly had the cup spoilers!

c9kay: If it has dark grey (anthracite) wheels (as opposed to plain old silver), then it more than likely has the cup suspension pack. If it has a large rear spoiler, and a black splitter below the front bumper, then it has the cup spoiler pack.

That's a bit of a sweeping statement, and not particularly constructive either. People can only learn from their mistakes. You just have to hope that when you make that first mistake you come out ok. We've all been there.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting the effectiveness of the work, just the fully fitted price! I just wish these things weren't quite so pricey.

Sounds like a good idea, but also sounds a touch expensive for what is basically a bit of metal filing. Still, it's something I may well look into getting done early next year.

^ lol Yeah that was me alright, going to see Mike: My climate control is playing up. :mad: Did you see my new blueflame exhaust?? :cool:

Oh bugger! Sorry. :o

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. You'd definitely need to go and have a good butchers at it, with someone in the know, to try and find out exactly what's damaged and what's not.

Yeah that was my feeling when I got mine - wouldn't go without the stripes now!

LOL - I was checking to see that it was you!

Sounds like you've not had the best luck with your 182 so far! Good choice on the colour and the stripes though! ;)

I've just looked at the GDI website - does this really make much of difference? I'm a bit unsure as to what exactly they do with this process?

What a tit he must have been! :rolleyes:

Agreed :)

Bonjorno :D

I'd try and knock a few quid off the asking price.

Yeah it's all about the slash cut look I reckon! It's quite subtle, but at the same time it's noticeably different to the standard exhaust. I've heard they get louder with age, which would be nice. It certainly gets louder as it warms up though. :cool: :D

I picked up this Blueflame/K-Tec exhaust on Ebay the other day - 4 weeks old, for £186! A bargain I thought. Got Mike at Rentech to fit it. I must say though, it's so much quieter than I imagined, and really not that boomy on motorways either.
