Anyway I come to take the wheel off to find something not original.
The breaks! Got a nice set of 283 gti6 callipers with almost new discs and pads! Will got nicely with the gti master cylinder I have! WIN WIN
Anyone else had any unexpected surprises on there car without knowing you had it or them?

found a hidden CD behind the dash (on top of the HU) in my first AxGti, still have it as well, semisonics ftw
other than that i bought some standard 4 stud kit for my track car, had to get the saxo top mounts off to change springs/dampers but they were seized, got the hacksaw out on the damper rod, no problem, got the insert out, and here goes... they turned out to be tarmac Bilsteins

I bought a 106 for my little brother some years ago from this really fat lady. She use to use to deliver Chinese food for the local takeaway, anyway I found a fork in the glovebox! The fattie must have been eating parts of the food she had been delivering!
I've been keeping the estate at work at the moment and last week I went to move it and I heard this weird sound from the engine bay, I opened the bonnet to find loads of nuts all over the engine cover. The squirrels from the woods next to my work must have thought that to be a good place to stash there hoard.

I would have thought so Danny, i certainly would have done. Was a big old bag too, a fair few grams. I seem to remember he bought it off the parents of some guy that had gone to uni, guy was must have been raging when he found out, was worth more than my mate paid for the car.
