Looks... grimey.

Ever thought of cleaning that up?

That is one thing I would HATE about having a low riding car [NOT A "low rider"] They would pick up rocks like Ashlee Simpson picks up Boyfriends.

[please disregard this comment if Silverfangs car isn't the cool wolfy VW Golf GTI that I thought ]

And this is the car in question

That's really tidy for an old'un.

Mines just over 3 yrs old and it looks tattier than that. Although iit has recieved body modifications courtesy of Flintshire County Councils Refuse Truck!

Why are you returning it? *Looks at the "Returns" sign in the pic.* Don't you like your car?

That car doesn't look like a lowrider either. Looks like stock suspension to me.

Seriously though, if you couldn't clean it with CLR or Orange Oil, than you must have some bad oil leaks. Did you use any sealants on the seams of the engine parts?

I cleaned the mounting faces up with Jizzer (Swarfega stuff) and used some silcone sealent to hold the new gasket in place, so far no leaks or drips so all good

Suspension's not stock though It's got sport springs and stock shocks (fronts) and uprated ones on the back with Polythene subframe bushes, though i have to get new shocks and springs soon as the front keeps nodding away since the front shocks are shot
