hoping the weather holds up and it shouldnt take too long tho get done!!
One issue i have which one of you guys may know..... iam swapping the dash in the red car due to it having a clock and not a rev counter (i havnt pulled it out yet) will there be wires for the rev counter laying about all ready or shall i just bring it all over from the grey car??

[samueljon]

managed to get the shocks switched over... car is nice a solid now!!

also got the dash switched so now i have a rev counter instead of a clock :\

this weekend im aiming to get the box and dif switched and maybe even drop the lump in!! will get pictures up soon!!

shame about the bump, but it happens that new car looks tidy though.. reminded of my first ever 340 with the strip out pics. if its any help i've seen an abundance of mk1 splitters on ebay for 20 quid buy it now!

[samueljon]

i can only find carbon fibre ones

[valman]

this is the first one i found, but it desnt look as long as the one you had

The CL splitters are completely different to the GTI duckbill ones.

[Kay San]

i have a CL Splitter and it suits my 340 better than the gti does

[samueljon]

i like the look of the duck bil on the 340

[eph_tom]

Absolutely freaking impossible to find one online apart from that carbon fibre one for like £110

i have a CL Splitter and it suits my 340 better than the gti does
