quick update, i have secured ALOT of parts for my 1303 here in the UK (and NO romano not all of them are chrome:))
i can't believe how everything is so expensive here, i have spent almost 900 pounds on parts and have very little to show for it (but the car will drive ALOT better now)
@romano
please source a set of basic VW steel wheels for me, it's time for the rims to come off for good
@all
more updates when i get back & the parts are back on my car
