And your seat is worn, how is that possible with that mileage

Thanks for the offer . are the seats the same as mine?

I have never taken covers off but people often do swap covers, I am sure some Dutch colleagues may be able to offer advice, If postage is not too much I will take a whole seat my post code in the UK is PL11 2HU

My seat is fine, I am planning ahead, ideally would like a spare stored away for when they are unavailable :)

covers can come off pretty easily

Bump still after that seat cover nice peeps....

Have not seen any material on there , but will ask, thanks

i dont think u will find any in holland, u could try sites like ebay ,here in holland we drive on the left side , btw u have a awesome brandnew mk2 :)

Do you? Pretty dangerous dude!

Is there also cannabis available :)
Not a lot of updates so...
Some recent pictures

Wow :eek:
Thats almost a brand new car, love it! :thumbup:

Good luck with the seat issue ;)

yeah? we sit in the left side of the car when we drive? :D

@ damien: that's it, it's new, stop fondling our foggy VW-brains with pics of it and tell were you have hid that time machine.

At Mice ,not allmost a brandnew car this is a brandnew mk2 :P ,i wanted to give a few Tips for Damien.Wrl first of all it is better to change the coolant fluid ,blue coolant fluid is a short and cheap use fluid, will give problems to corrosion and will damage stuff, my advise is to get the old blue one out ,than use the aircompressor to blow the old rest of the fluid out until motor is empty of the blue one, u can use the garden hose first to pull in fresh water and than blow the leftover water out, sound stupid but its true, than u go buy the RED Coolant Fluid the LL mix with G12+ the longlife fluid look here http://www.kroon-oil.com/nl/product.../coolant-sp-12/ , when use this u wont have to wurry for corrosion or that sorts of stuff and u never have to change the fluid again in ur life, though u need to only ad the same red fluid and not use other sorts in it, it must be RED fluid only, never mix the fluids not even with water.
Well thats a good tip sinds this is a brandnew mk2 , and a second tip is to use another oil type for motor, if it was my car i would use the 10W60 Racing"oil full synthetic where 10 is the thickness of the oil wich is standard vw specs and where 60 is the viscosity of the oil u could say better performance in general.

Well i hope u like the tips :thumbup:

Btw i have a naughty question to :P where did u find the car and what did u pay for it?was the car allready totally new? am curious to know :)

lol hhaha in our family we do this :p,no i ment the right side lol, u are sharp :) i guess i forgot to ad we dont ride on the left side thats what i ment :tongue:

If you use full synthetic oil in an old mk2, that's not going to work!!! This type of oil will damage your seals (crankshaft, camshaft etc) use only VW approved half-synthetic lube oils...

And for the coolant, if you feel the urge to replace it then I would pick the G12++ Purple/pink colored type. This is also what VW recommended to use in my '85 mk2 gti. With this coolant there's no chance of corrosion anymore. Advantage is that G12++ can be filled up by water!

STILL AFTER THAT SPARE SEAT|no real updates ....Bit of a result with the heat gun, fed up with forever blacking over white/grey bits so spent the money bought myself a heat gun and after half an hour cleaning of all the lotions and balms rubbed in over the years this is the result, completely untreated and in the buff

WOW,.. That's a mindblowing result!!

You got it this way by only using the heat gun and no more silicon or bumperblack to finish?


Looks very very VERY good!!!

You do have a stunnin' Mk2 Damien !!! Spot on..

Some more pics from last years stuff

One more of Comas pics

Excellent just what I am after... could you strip the covers off ????

pm sent

+1 :spankit:

+2

DAMN really good looking car,
clean on the outside, a beautifull looking black clean interior and the engine compartment is really clean and shiny love it :thumbup:

mmmmmmmmhhhhh... sometimes being right doesn't necessarily look nice???

Hmm.. Against my expectation... But I prefer the old setup (the other rims). :confused:

Awesome car!!! :cool:

I like it best on the BBS in the very first pic.

Thanks everyone, trying to get some mudflaps to keep the car a bit cleaner..
Bought some from Germany but they are for non trim arches, can't even find which part number...
Anyone help, ideally need Votex ones

You can surch for a left seat insted, left and right are the same.
I have made a new driver seat from a passenger seat.

So as you do park up miles from the car next door go to the cash point return and the bitch next door has reversed out and dented you car, saw her driving out as I walked back..... Sssssoooo angry I nearly cried....







Ross from DevonDents came around, top man and spent an hour on the dents




On a plus note when I took rear quarter trim car I found this didn't even need a clean...cheered me up a little





So after all the effort still left with a slight dent and this, eventually decided paint was the only answer...





Did my research found a small but caring body shop all booked on the evening of my work whole bloody shop got burnt down.... Arrrg

On first body shop recommendation moved to another shop who did a superb job ,I know it's had paint but no one else seems to be able to pick it up , even the colour match is good.
No blending in needed...I can just say yes it's still original with a few car park dink touch ups


Got him back today, apart from the engine now being completely grey/primer dust coloured I am really chuffed with the finnish and especially the colour match, no need for blending into the adjacent panels :jackson: :jackson:

Small update Some pics of the national mk2 owners meet ,thanks to Mr and Mrs Macsnap plus others

Damn , that's a nice and clean car you got there mate 😄
