Location: nr Evesham Worcs		I think flocked dash's look good (really good with a stripped out interior). As for brakes it depends on how you drive and what you intend on using the car for..... Some pics would be good as well.

Location: Gloucester		Welcome to MP!

Post some picture up, we even may know the car!

Most people change R100 to look like metros these days! If its a real GTi i'd leave it with the Metro front!

Before you sabotage the metro - id sort your priorities and set fire to that shitbox parked behind the metro

Location: Up in the lakes		Mgf steering geometry is what you need then. Tre's, steering arms and bottom balljoints tracked up to iirc 30 minutes out does the trick nicely. Feels planted at high speeds. (strickly private roads)
