LOL It does indeed ;D Not dark with them on though Alternator groans a bit though so currently only 2 spots at a time can come on with main beam rather than all 4 Fogs in bumper can be on as well though. Theres 2 fogs, 2 Drive lamps and 2 pencil beam spots Plus a relayed headlamp loom if I can ever get the F*ggin thing to work properly Ask IRSM what its like out there though..... He was takin the p*** out of the Super Oscars I fitted to the golf, until he got in the mountains ;D takes the guess work out of which way the road goes

Wheels are on now, and White Sparco Mudflaps are fitted to one side ;D Still got the other side to do. Spent most of the day sorting out an Oil leak and replacing most of the Breather system Found another problem now though Slight leak from one of the Rigid Fuel pipes under the floorpan Anyone know if theres a way of replacing a section in Situ ? I am not removing a complete set of fuel lines..... That will be a Cahoont of a job Can you get a swaging tool and unions ? Cheers Dom

Theres a high pressure feed and return line I do not want it failing at 2am in a Blizzard at -10deg on an Alpine road.... which if its going to.... thats when itll happen

More pics........Daylight this time New Wheels, Audi Coupe.... Ebay £35 + £40 Carriage Snow tyres, nearly new..... Ebay £20/set VW Black Magic pearl 2pack, left over from Painting my Bike £0<br> Sparco white rally Mudflaps £12 from Demon Thieves Just got to finish the sub box and sort the relayed headlamp loom out...... Before I leave on Wednesday Sorted the Fuel lines, thanks to the guys on the S2 Forum who had BTDT. Nedded some Rubber Braided fuel Injection hose and proper clips, and a trip to B&Q for some 8mm Microbore copper pipe ;D Replaced the lot in 2 hours ;D Driving it on the Snowtyres for the first time yesterday was fun. I think I got them a bit Hot blasting up the Motorway, so when I got on the twisties it was excellent fun, slides really progressively, the new suspension means its so predictable.... I cant wait to get it on Snow now Dom
