Looking good Dronners. You wouldn't think the Ed30 rear bumper would make such a difference but it certainly does, I loved the difference it made on mine too. when you dropping it?

cars now been lowered on volkswagen racing/racingline springs and shocks difference is quite subtle but they do perform better than standard. think i have to do the arch screw mod now as it does rub on hard turns and speed bumps.


before and afters


and this is fun

also fitted new michelin ps4's all round and kept her clean


otherwise its been pretty quiet for mods dont really know what to do next

Looks really good know with the wheels and edd 30 rear bumper. You could go full murdered out and do black badges but that might be a bit much

Really like what you've done! The ED30 bumper makes the world of difference. Like the debadge too - did it on my black MK5 too and looks so much cleaner.

Car looks great!

Lovely car mate

Where did you get the front red GTi badge from? I have a red rear one but was looking for a front to match.

Intercooler looks spot on too - does it come with the red pipes?

gave Bae a wash whilst the weather was good  :innocent:





Picking up an older photo but you have a bit of condensation in the rear left light.

Exact same as mine, I tiny smudge of clear silicone over the crack where the black plastic meets the red plastic and it won't come back!

    ironically its the right side light that does it now  :doh:  its missing a nut that holds the light in though so chances are thats why
