Right heres a sneaky peek at things to come here she is with the polished wheels although not completed (I am so impatient but to be fair I was messed around something rotten by the spring suppliers so much so i missed Retro :-/ that peed me off. Any way the centres need a going over to get them to match the outer faces and ribs + another all over finishing polish will be done once the centres are ready I will take a better pic soon to show the finished wheels I have also fitted 40mm Cobra springs and 1 pip pads at the front she has sunk a bit since that pic rears are still to do....and i have just fitted some german style plates (not in this pic) i know there are alot of varied opinions about them but mine is they suit the car (for show purposes only obviously!!) ;)

The only thing that bugs me is the differencve in the paint work shades it not noticable during the day but at night with headlamps or a camera flash it pretty bad tbh! i will get that done eventually......

She is certainly attracting good attention where ever she goes a little too much in some instances :lol:

Absolutely superb mate, a lovely mix of OEM and subtlely modified, exactly the look I go for!

As for the German plates, I love them, I'd have a set on the sportline like a shot, but got pulled and fined for the last set I had on... :C

Yeah the plates are a grey area I know the font is not legal but other than that the plates are reflective the correct colour and character spacing.
I am not sure what the big deal is! Still I am aware thats no excuse.... ;)

Longest build time in history?
Right, I'm sorry to thread jack, but i thought this was as good a place as any to say...(I hope you don't mind?)

I would like to give my W123 230E away to a good home. It does need some work but in reality, a weekends work and a little money will have her seen alright again.

If anybody would like full details then please give me a call or PM, and i will happily talk through.

Will need to be trailored away but once the work is done then it will be a very happy car again.

The Scrappy has offered me only GBP70 for it but if someone fancies it i would much happier seeing it saved. (I've also got a W210 E300TD for a parts car which would be an awesome engine swap - My plan was for this, and then matt black).

Cheers guys here is another one bear in mind the front is now lower than that the rear is going down just a touch too using a shallower spring pad the fronts dropped about another 10mm so the arch and tyre sit very nice indeed and still no rubbing with those gargantuanic (if thats a real word lol) arches on the old girl :D For some reason the rear wheel appear to show positive camber how ever as the above rear shot photo shows she actually has a nice amount of negative there

Oh and the Taxi sign is a humerous addition that has attracted alot of positive attention Its still on there at the mo well if your gonna drive round in a bright yellow german taxi you may aswell look the part. :lol: maybe not aye :$ :$ :help: :lol: :lol:

Thanks Niel I must admit I have really taken to her she drives beautifully too even now she is fairly low. Black grill inserts a must was thinking of doing the headlamp grilles behind the glass black to what do you think? defo matt or satin. ;)

Some more snaps taken from Sundays VW Players show at North weald My mate is pals with some of the peps from the Chelmsford Renegade VW club having previously owned VAG cars such as I anyway long story short they were happy to have us on their stand in front of the decks Renegade FM is also an internet radio station ;) So here is the Mimosa Taxi and my pals C124 it was a good day but after reading a few forums it did become apparent that a portion of show goers were hardly impressed with non VAG cars at VAG show if that can be said cleanly :D but the rest loved them including James OYD5P user names White 190E soz no pics of that yet will sort some. Anyway the cars certainly caused a stir.
The first pic was taken by someone unkown to me and it was found on the net The constrasts and colours have been played with either tat or the camera and light were spot on I am no expert but i like it

Believe it or not mate its the best addition I have ever put on a car people love it I mean the cars period and colour helps plus the fact that generally Mercs are used a s taxi's (Isaw a new shape beetl at Players with a taxi sign on the roof and while it was nice it did'nt suit it as much) Bias I may be but to answer your qeustion yes I get people trying to hail me alot so far 11 sets of people on different occasions. It can be a nightmare :lol: :lol: :lol:
