Yes I'm fussy, I won't pay top dollar but I would never put cheep on my van. You spend all your hard earn'd on your motor then trust the only contact patch to the ground down to a bit of rubber made in a wing wang wong factory by a bloke who don't give a... Come on if you drive at walking pace...

My personal opinion is that around 40 - 55 % (of width) is the best compromise in looks, handling & wheel saving ability. Just ask yourself this what are the fastest cars.. F1 and do they have super low profiles? No, because tyre, suspension, shocks body strength they all play a part in the...

Ferrari 250 GTO 60's, the one that inspired the e type, with number plate '250 GTO' ooooooooooh nice.

was on 62k when i bought it, 2yrs later it's on 67k. i won't get rid of this one unless... not going to mock it, eh.

Yer I know it's hard. I looking for a bit of banter... & CB can you explain what a 'gockel' is?

I like your thinking Waynne, cos there has to be a reason for bad drivers... For me well I always take my hat off when I get in to my car... But there and again I always take my hat off when I go in to a building.. so with your thinking and mine I now believe bad drivers all have one thing in...

On another thread somebody replied to a topic and called caravaners 'shed draggers', but I believe to many great inventions have come from having a mug of tea in a shed. So what do you call 'em? I call em 'members of the lonely club' cos once you got one nobody will talk to you again. &...

Yer i like the blacked mesh look, i think it gives a car a bit of meeeeeean look. Silver/chrome looks cool on older cars pre '80's..

Even with the push down for reverse gear? About how much do you think would it cost to have a one off made/adjusted fitted? :cheesy:

Cheers Waynne like your thinking, the Sharan is a VW, so yer I check out Seat's alhambra.

Has anybody come across a short shift gear change for a Sharan? Bit of a long shot but got to ask eh? :wink:

I thought it was going to take a bit of tinkering around. I think I'll leave the original on and rough it up. I found one place that sells it by the 50Mtr roll? And on ebay they seem only to sell the stuff with foam backing for seating.. Do any of you guys know to buy the Alcantara without the...

If I was to recover my vinyl dash board in say Alcantara or fake suede do I need to peel off the original vinyl first? or can I just stick over the top? I guess I'm thinking about around the plastics, etc.. Thanks for any ideas. :lol:

Bends over straights every time and I drive a Sharan Sport (what a difference compared to standard springs). EVERY BODY is right on this one if you 'enjoyed' the bend(s).... but heres my take on it.. RULE 1. Vision, vision vision: I've done many a A road, and I like to keep the locals...

First we had speed humps for the suspension & petrol companies, don't tell me it's to slow us down, I had Volvo estate that went over them at any speed, and look now how everybody drives down the middle of the road, swerving everywhere to avoid them. Petrol increases under acceleration & braking...

Paint job, I think I'm going to do the running gear first. Do you call it a 'sleeper' get it running NICE, with "London's bodywork" as I call it. Too many times I've come back to a car to find something different about the body work... Would to love either 'Black gloss' with 'Matt black'...

Hey guys, got plans for everything... Brakes that are on it are from VAG's Sport model, and so are larger than standard. They've only 'faded' once, when on the second time in quick succession down from motor way max to 20 ish. Around A & B roads everything is nice and tight for hours on end...

Can anyone help me as I have VW Sharan 1.8T SPORT. With standard upgraded brakes & lowered sus. It produces 150BHP I think is claimed in the pack. Do these chip upgrade companies do a 'Sharan' version, as I'm often carrying 5/7 people & luggage and so weigh in far bit more than your wonderful...

Hi & Hello from Papa J, driving the family round the bend(s) in a 1999 VW Sharan 1.8T Sport. I know you'll all want one when you got 3 nippers. But to be honest it handles... well ok for 7up run about. My eldest (7yrs) loves Pimp my ride, and so so far we have the Audi RS6 wheels with Toyo tires...
