Looking forward to seeing the spacers fitted, been toying with this idea myself.

Great work on the car.

Not been up to a lot on the car lately as sorting out a new car as the Vito was racking up the miles. Pick up a Mercedes E300 Bluetec Hybrid on a 15 plate tomorrow. Will do me for a couple of months until my pickup arrives.

Got back on the golf today though.

Fuel filter replaced as old on looked like it had been on a while.

THS uprated lower engine mount which was a pain in the Arse but loads better than the old sloppy oem one. Bit of vibration but should loosen up once I get some miles on it.

Got the brembo front and rear discs plus pads. Rear inner pads had siezed.




12mm spacers added alround with longer black anodised bolts and lockers. Fills the arch's a lot better.


Managed to pickup a BCS prestige exhaust up for £400. Ordered a Relentless 3.5" decat down pipe to go with it.


Still waiting for my speakers but they are on back order. Will get the tracking done tomorrow once I have picked up the new car.

Wanna swap your prestige middle box for my sports middle box ? :)

Not interested in changing sorry. Don't even know what it sounds like. Front box was ordered smaller from BCS apparently but yet to confirm.

Picked up the E class this morning. Drives a lot different to the golf. Bit weird driving down the road and the Rev counted is at zero as its still on battery power. £10 road tax as well.




Started on the exhaust tail pipes as one has what looks like marks where it was catching the bumper and plastic welded on it as it melted the bumper.


Bit of elbow grease and some autosol and they are looking a lot better.
