Happy Birthday Mikey
Mats and Flocking.

Planks of wood were originally invented for cars to drive onto, to allow normal jacks to be used. That is a fact.  :grin:

Give us a text when your back and we'll have to have a catch up.  :happy2:

top has to be the dash flocking, I saw that pic of your satnav and what looks like tape holding the AC panel in place  :scared:

And as Keano says there are always ways around low profile trolley jacks, planks of wood yellow pages those sorts of things  :ashamed:  I find if you use a kerb and 2 to 3 of the new thin yellow pages you dont need a jack at all to get under the car  :evilgrin:

They seemed to cope well with one rear wheel axle loading, after all its just a slightly modified piece of wood  :evilgrin:  I wasnt doing anything too drastic just needed to get under-neath to sort out rear axle cover that and the kerb with my lofty suspension gave me plenty of space to tinker.

Happy birthday too meeee....

Question is;

  • custom black mats with red trim & Cupra stitching
  • finally send dash bits off for flocking
  • Low profile trolley jack

Going to sell my X-men quadrilogy blue ray & pre order myself the ultimate collection with the new one  :party:

I always think you should get a good..... flocking on your birthday :innocent:


You never know you just may get the best birthday present ever, a health baby  :pomppomp: if your wife goes into labour early

Just think.... you wont ever celebrate a birthday again, yours will be forgotten forever as you slip down the pecking order

Feel for you mate, so frustrating.

Paid for flocking for birthday, was going to order a jack but need xenon bulbs now, paid for Sirrocco bumpers to complete my boot pop mod.  

Fingers and toes are crossed for injector fixing the missfire on monday but tbh I wouldnt be the slightest bit suprised if it makes little / no difference.

liking the idea of the dash board--thats what puts me of xenons is the price and replaced of the bulbs--hope its some thing simple with the misfire

I think for it to look right I need to send the pillars and heater rings off too, should look good  :smiley:

The bulbs by the looks of things are £25 - £35 so after 3years of use its not too bad, admittedly I have my dipped beam on alot of the time so theyve had some use.
