Went to Cambridge yesterday with my wife and 6 week old son - got 34.5 mpg which aint bad as the first 7 miles was all stop start on London roads  :jumpmove:

Got water pump replaced today and then returned home early evening. not quite as good mpg on the way back but just as enjoyable a drive - love this motor  :love:  :party:  :jumping:

These are quite easy to come apart and paint! they need to be taken to to bits anyway to be fitted! ALthough you have made a nice job! I had to paint mine, lucky they were from a cupra so 3/4 of the way there!!
