Fit the original Blaupunkt headunit back in. Get the charger done at somepoint soon i think... ...and do the repairs needed... There is a fair way to go to get it to my standard... if i wasn't so picky i could drive it as it is... -------------------- :: MSN address: rjg_gb@hotmail.com :: donations@retropolos.co.uk - Make a PayPal donation to Polo3. :: Click here to buy Polo3 stickers :: The Cars: Red G40 and Blue G40

na mate, they're 13's

what colour you reccon for the sideys??

i reckon clears would complement the fronts nicely! I painted mine, as im too tight to spend a tenner on clear side repeaters! what specs the engine? nice to see an unmolested g40 for a change!
