  1. I am quite lairy with colours I agree with Ollie red is a good contrast and matchs the red you already have on the car
  2. Know the feeling with ebay jokers had that trouble last year they had the part I had the funds but they don't want to talk I think they love the power of haveing something you need don't give up it's worth the fight in the long term

    Love the colour love the wheels nice to see another mk5 on the road
  6. The last 3 mk5 upper rear seats I have removed have always been tight but once all bolts removed should just lift up out the way the ends slide in near where the bolts come out if my memory's right will have look at mine tommow when I am back home
  7. What part of Norfolk are you in I travel to hemsby a lot
  8. Nice and natural not over done looks good
  9. Looks fantastic very personalised really like it
  10. May go as a day vister as down the caravan this particular weekend
  11. Would be good to see if there is. Good solar powered one as our garages are in a block and have no mains avaiable
  12. Got a plate welded in mine as well then sealed up behind it then waxoill you are better to repair what you have and keep the original wings with the original spot welds as it seems such an original car interior looks nice and original
  13. I make it very clear from the beginning of a job that I am very OCD with my wheels then they know to be cautious from the beginning of the job had a company in Dunstable damage a set of alloys but they did pay for them to be refurbished to be fair
  14. Looks nice and natural just how it came out the box
  15. Like the colour and standard spec alloys changed my grill to the same as yours mine is a face lift mk5 93 L reg rs2000 front was originally looking at mk6 but my mk5 caught my eye would up load a picture but dont know how to look forward to more pictures of yours
  16. Welcome to the club good to see another mk5 being saved as not many people love these most prefer the mk4 look forward to reading how you progress on it on one of my wings had a small plate welded as rest of wing was ok good luck mark
  17. Looks good I think a tight fit is better less likey to blow of I would cover them wheels up to stop people tempting to be nosey of what's under the cover just the wheels showing you can see it's something special but if covered they know nothing and it could be any thing under there
  18. Booked and payed for another while family favorite but for me the ultimate show is ford fair
  19. Booked and payed for dad and juile prefer this show as it's a mixed bag come on people book your tickets get it over and done with no point in leaving it to the last minute .com
  20. Local moter / paint factor may be able to help most should have a colour scanner which will read your cars colour then come up with the aproite colour it is and then a formula to mix it up good luck and let us all know what it is when u do find out
  21. I think to light for it to be Matisse blue may be aqua foam ?
  22. Nice to know we aren't the only one that name cars lol
  23. I am pleased to say brought and paid for and marked of on list as requested by Ollie above
  24. Thanx will give that a go going up the scrappy next weekend for a couple of ka parts so will take a look then
