Re: Front lower splitter?

I've got a mk2 golf big bumper splitter, I've been told they fit but I've not had a chance to fit it yet. If I can clag it on I'll take a pic for you.

Re: Silicon hoses

I think I'm going to see if a mk1 set will fit, if not I will do as you have and make my own set.

Re: Mk1 storm break or repair?

I'd save it, original storm will be worth a fair amount. You also know the history of the car and what's wrong with it so hopefully won't get any surprises. I would def keep and restore myself.

Re: red 88 scala

Body kit is going back on, I prefer the look personally. Got a mate who is a sign writer so if I do go with the b pillar vinyl it will be done properly.
