Alloys have Michelin Exalto's on Mitch. Will have to meet up if you want, so you can have a look.

Coming on now Mitch. You gonna keep her or still after the Evo? Calipers look so much better in Yellow. Love the contrast. Don't suppose you fancy swapping F1's for some 182 Cups????

My titanium silver phs1 is at present sitting on 182 Cup alloys. All in very good condition and wrapped in Exalto rubber. Sometimes I think they look spot-on, others I think I need to replace them with some original F1's in STD silver or anthracite...

If car is standard cosmetically, I'd stick with STD wheels. Spend the money you were gonna blow on paint to buy some cleaning tackle. A mint STD Cup looks like the daddy IMO:cool:

Nnnnnnnnooooooo don't do it!!!! Lights yes, but not the bumper as well. Leave it as a phase 1 should be.

After Reading a lot of previous posts and threads, when I change my Milltek for Stealth, gonna go for a Yozza or BTB...

Got to say mate, only had mine a week, but love it to bits!! You won't regret it...

Ps ... Just posted at same time as Vala

Just decided to pull lever on mine with bonnet up already to expose the little metal lip which appears. Sprayed loads of Wd40 in there and then greased as well. Pulled it about 10-15 times, and then opened and shut bonnet about 5 times. Now catches and shuts fully everytime. Will keep an eye...

Really like the look of those mate, and appear to be a bit of a bargain. Would want to see it in the flesh though as bolsters don't look particularly deep on that picture, if you're looking for something 'huggy'....

Looks like a bargain mate. Enjoy her!!

That's what I thought. Just cos it's twin barrel, does that mean it's twin lamba. From what you're saying, no.....?!?!

Any way of finding out which cat you have other than getting car jacked up or on ramps?

Will bell them on Tuesday about mine.

So I'm guessing in the primary fastner, where bung sits, there should be a little catch which should move forwards and backwards as you open and shut bonnet. I say should as my bonnet is currently secured with a cable tie...

Anyone know dates of cars affected by recall?

Who did them as above, and no specialists near you? Do you know if mechanic had locking tools for belt????

Looking good mate, what's next? Really do like the Cupra splitter, what model is that from, is it old shape Leon Cupra r? 100k+ club for the win!!

Cheers Av, hope so mate. Get to know it a little better this morning hopefully.

Although I like the wheels, may replace with some anthracite F1's..

As far as I'm aware they do. Lad at work has a heavy modded Focus ST, and swears by these guys. Rather than going through all the bull-s**t questions again, I'd drop their rep who comes on here a pm (can't recall his name), and see what you get back..

Is it any rubber bits? Need to get a nice shade of yellow on mine... Another job on the list...:)

Can't help sorry. But am suprised at Brentacre not been able to do anything for you. Have you tried the other forum insurance, Sky?

Ugly to some. Others recognise the inner beauty.....;) Can't believe I just fookin posted that. Like Mills and Boon!!

I certainly did. £1900 of the finest english pounds...;)

Literally picked this up about 1/2 hour ago... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1636164.htm Milage not really an issue as full and I mean full history, and also I only do about 4k a year. Bought as a bit of a toy;) Considering milage both bodywork and interior are mint.. Ad and figures...

Get it up in classifieds mate. Sure it'll sell..

With the standard of driving 99.99999% of people are at, (I'm including myself in that!!) no difference at all. Which is why I've now decided against it.

Oil and gearbox oil for the following please: Phase 1 172,2000 'x' few mods , exhaust, filter and remap. Fast road use only. 116k miles. Cheers in advance, Kev...... ps. can you recommend oil for wifes car as well. Golf 1.8 T. 2001 'Y' remapped to 205bhp. Road use only. 100k miles...

First thing I would do mate, is try and do a few track days in the 182. Not only will you learn so much about your car, but you'll probably decide how far you want to go. My plans were to get a phase 1 and strip it for track days. But am now considering just keeping it std, stripped a little...
