	Well seen as ive found a car and parts have started getting here. I thought id start my journal. The car is a MKII Polo Squareback, or breadvan as some call it. Should be at my nans very soon . Ive got some ATS Cups of a very helpful member on here. Goes by the name of jabbo and has not moaned once about the time its taken to get him the money. Also ive purchased some Yellow tint Headlights, which will sit next to the white ones on a double grill. last part I'm waiting on is a brow for the front. if I get it itll be coming from the same place as the car. Needless to say ive got a perminant massive grin and cant wait! pics of the lights: will update as it goes on!!!

	No idea, but could well believe it. However, I would consider fitting them and not connecting them, as they would only be legal in snow and mist, so really blinding in regular weather, ask around about just fitting them for the look.

	Yellow headlights aren't illegal. The beam colour can be white or yellow. Don't worry 'bout it

	Here she is. gotta ring delivery people should come on the 6th of October it now sits higher then that and has satin black upto the side trim. quote from seller. The reason that we put it up for free was that we cant be bothered to put it back together, as we've got to get his g40 ready for painting, but I'm sure we'll be able to help the delivery bloke get it on the truck. It does roll, just the drive shafts need bolting back on. and it mite need a couple of nuts for the track rod ends and anti roll bar ends, but thats it really. Basicly it was slammed with g40 front struts, but when he got the other mk3 we had to swap all the bits over to that cos we want to g40 turbo it (which was the plan for the mk2), but it got to late to put the mk2 bk together and thats basicly how it stayed on his drive! Anyway, sorry for the story!! it has had the bottom bit under the doors painted satin black up to the side trim since the pic was took though,we was gonna do the whole car like that. And it is standard ride height again.

EDIT - just remembered I've got its five speed box still as well and the shifter to go with it.

	I might be tempted to do you a swap, my 4 light for your de-badged Also, take those clocks of Thrasher, they've been the best mod i've made to mine I think. If it's post '87 (i think it '87...) they'll plug straight in
