Follower wasn't to bad well worth changing for the price of a replacement and 10-15min.
Just the wait for payday now so i can get some AP coilovers ordered, and probably take advantage of the RAMAIR intakes being on offer.

Post by: ED30Matt91 on September 23, 2016, 07:57:24 pm
Got round to fitting my Ramair CAI didn't go for the oversize kit as I prefer the look of this one.
slow progress and still a lot to do

I have dealt with them already but never again, Traded my Grey MK6 Golf R in which was probably there when you purchased your car!

I remember seeing your car on their website! Hope it serves you well  :smiley:

Looks nice.  Funnily enough the only colour I think looks right in the 5 door model is silver.

Cheers! yeah I'm not a fan of 5 door cars at all and always said id never have another after my VRS, but I agree either reflex silver or steel grey just about gets away with it

Not normally a fan of the silver ed30 but this looks superb, the grey wheels work really well against the silver!
