No hadn't dreamed of it  :innocent: :laugh: It would be fun though. Its food for thought when you're thinking about progressing to a mk6r at around 15-20k when CDL/BHZ = 2-3k, AWD conversion running gear = 1-2k, labour= 3k so total is around 8-9k and you end up with a car as capable, if not more than a 6r and a lot cheaper. Obviously you still have the shell of the mk5 but that just makes it a sleeper  :evilgrin:

You then need to think resale from an outside perspective! Is a 2005 performance AWD with £14,000 total investment going to sell for £14,000 whereas a 6R would stay constant with gradual depreciation!

How many time have you seen people on this forum with their "back to standard sale"? There's not going back to standard with a conversion like that so unless you're planning on keeping it forever then it's a big financial hit with no return!

On the other hand... DO IT! That car would be a beast!
