The new colour is spot on and the new wheels ain't bad either lol.

Absolutely stunning mate...one day i will own one of these

I would've washed Das Wagon while the paint was drying but I didn't think wet paint and water would be a good mix so I decided to do a job which has been bugging me for a while....Grubby door shuts Before http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag37/bigbennos/temporary_zpsc292fe31.jpg http://i1297.photo...

My rear brakes are standard and for the time being I have no intention of upgrading them, (apart from discs and pads when time comes to replace) But when I fit my 312mm's which are red the rear calipers will look a bit out of place so I decided to give them a spruce up Before http://i1297.photobucke...

Some good finds there there will be a few people jealous of that abs cover.
i really like this mate....it is how the b5 should've left the showroom in the first place. And looks like it's almost in showroom condition too

Top work...I love those brakes....they sit spot on behind those bbs's

I'm pretty sure they are the same...i think some seat, Skoda, vw and Audi models are fitted with 312mm brakes which all use the same carriers.

Or these, but you'll need to sell an organ or 2

A few weeks back I had a go at fitting my audi allroad upper strut brace. I fitted the passenger side mount with no problems, but try as i might I couldn't get the drivers side in past the air con hoses and what I assume is the ecu. So I put everything back together and consulted The wealth of knowl...

I took over 600 photos at edition38, some of which I was pretty pleased with. The weather was great so there was a good chance to play around with the camera settings etc. Despite this I only managed to take one photo of Das Wagon....and not a very good one at that so here it is lol http://i1297.pho...

Good things come to those who wait I'll make sure you get a sneaky preview first mate

Made the mistake of waxing whole car instead of one pannel at a time ..so waxed dried hard and took me some time to remove ..bit of a schoolboy error ..moral of the story read the tin ! i did the same thing the first time i used it....serious arm pump time :hyst this has to be the cleanest mk5 golf...

R line grille?? I like that a lot mate.

Welcome back..thats a nice clean looking highline you got there. How come you went for a saloon this time?

I know, i know 8-| I want to fit it myself so i know it's done properly. I want my mate to help me...he used to be a mechanic, but also a good laugh. We've both got our own businesses and he's got kids so we rarely get to catch up. I could pay someone else to do it, but there's no fun in that &i...

i've got a nokia lumia....it was called mpg tracker...it was a free app.

Also picked up a few detailing items when I was at edition. Dodo Juice Purple Haze...(not the stuff you get in amsterdam :hyst ) I'd heard good things about it on dark colours so got a tester pot http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag37/bigbennos/temporary_zpse991117a.jpg In preparation for the new ...

Do you have a smartphone....I downloaded an app to track my mpg. just put the info in and it calculates it all for you.

Was a good show, next year for sure

No problem...it looked good lurking in the trees lol
Yeah I was well impressed, will definitely go again.

And another load :hyst http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag37/bigbennos/Edition38%202013/IMG_4124_zps531dafb8.jpg http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag37/bigbennos/Edition38%202013/IMG_4128_zpsdda48d38.jpg http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag37/bigbennos/Edition38%202013/IMG_4099_zps50af46fe.jp...

Well I failed miserably at getting my bits done before edition lol. On the plus side kids go back to school so my mate mechanic should have time to lend me a hand to get things sorted. Also some new top mounts have arrived http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag37/bigbennos/temporary_zps041210f1.jpg ...

I camped sat night...I didn't see any of the above, but then I didn't go far a wild party...just to see some awesome cars.
I guess it depended where you camped as bits of the site did sound a bit lively.
I will definitely be making this show a regular from now on though.
