The original rear wiper is hideous, right out of the 80's, looks so cheap and spindley.
I run Mk5 rear AND fronts, they are also a bit thicker and more quality looking.

I was beginning to give up hope of any underbody shots
Looks very clean under there matey
Fuel tank looks good, If your not going to show it under there, then I would coat it in clear Waxoyl
I'm impressed
Just to add my opinion to the "wiper arm debate" I prefer the original, but each to their own
Cheers

it needs a good clean underthere though it has potential to look very tidy as its powder coated anti roll bars and poly bushes etc but it needs a good day of cleaning to get it to a good standard

I think all I'd change on that is to have the inlet and charge carrier polished. That is a perfect example otherwise though, spot on

Rusey :Just curious, how does your turbo compare to the astra...??
I love your motor, the RS2000's look the nuts
to be honest i dont really know because i still havent taken my car past £4500
too scared as it hasnt been set up since the rebuild
mine feels faster when the boost comes in
