Bert's GT Sport TSI 140 - Stage 1 Revo :)
bluebert92:
Hopefully will get my ed30 front splitter (ebay) all painted up at some point this week or next, whenever I get time!, Got some adhesion primer, primer, united grey spray and lacquer, along with a load of fine sand paper to see me through
My hunt for an exhaust has been some what dampened by the fact I need to address the lacquer peeling now, I'm awaiting some quotes now and hopefully they will be kind to my wallet before Christmas... :sick: I'll update tomorrow with a picture of the dirty lacquer peeling :((...
Updated...
On the way back from work today, I absolutely hate myself for this.
So again my exhaust hunt gets pushed even further back to;
* 1: Sort out lacquer peeling
* 2: Fix alloys, or get them all done and powder coated a new colour?
* 3: Sort out a milltek cat back.
God everything is going wrong for me at the minute!! :fighting: :sad1:

Thats the extent of my lacquer peeling where the existing dent was, and the post above shows my poor alloy :|

Put a decent coat of plastic adhesion spray on my new front bumper and let to rest for a week and now I have just cleaned and preped the bumper and applied 2 coats of grey plastic primer. I'll leave this to dry for 24 hours in my neighbours garage before sanding down and seeing where I'm at
mdmay:
on the 1.4tsi you can decat it and get good figures but just removing the cat material in the standard cat. they dont need a large down pipe as 2.5'' is adequate to flow up to 240hp
bluebert92:
am I wrong in assuming that a decat won't pass an MOT? or is there a way I can get like a sports cat?
in other news I have finished painting my "ED30" front splitter, although It was a cheapy ebay special, I'm happy with the final look, although the clips were genuinely awful and were poor for fitting, so I had to fashion proper clips instead which took the best part of 2 hours... all in all lesson learned to never buy any kind of knock of material again, comparatively the rear valance I bought which was a genuine VW part was the easiest fit in the world.
