Small update. Sorry for the dirty car.
Manged to get the eibach springs on. Sits alot better now and not like a jeep. I know people aren't a fan of the progressive springs but i think the H&R springs are just a tad to low for the speed bumps about here.
I did plan on cleaning and polishing it today but didn't get a chance.
I also managed to swap my milltek resnated mid section out for the non res. What a difference it pops and burbles and its easy to live with aswell, not to loud and droney.
Will get better pics once its cleaned and polished tomorrow.
It was also in getting front wishbone bushes replaces with polybush. It needed a track rod end aswell and then it passed its MOT.
Next thing on the cards....timing belt and waterpump. Got a dv rev g and pvc to go in aswell just as peice of mind. Oil filter and oil change aswell and also a new battery. Oil etc wasn't needed as sam had done all that and it was all receipted and stamped by vw but i just want to do it anyway. Tbh i didn't need to do much as sam and previous owners have kepted it all to a high standard.

Thanks mate. Yeah defo sit better now lol.
They do seem a bit softer than i expected. But i wouldn't say its bouncey. For day to day use it actually feels better i think but i haven't really drove it alot since i put the springs on.
I use to have the same springs on my old type r and i liked them on that so i guess its going to be a similar feel.

Looks gorgeous mate and you keep saying sorry about the dirty car. It looks clean to me! Haha
Where did you get the sill covers from?
And I think mk6 climatronic controls would look good in your interior and finish the dash off nicely :)

Thanks mate. You didn't see it that morning it was coverd in burd sh*te. Had to wipe it off the paint work would of been quicker washing it lol
Yeah i had thought about that. I had the carbon dipped dash from my old gti so just swaped that before i sold it. So not that botherd about that.
I have a few plans for through out the year. Probably the mk6 dash as you mentioned as it does look alot nicer. And maybe the mk6 steering wheel but it is a bit pricey lol.
I got the door sills from ebay mate.actually really good quality think they were £20.
