Had the car back from a stage 2 paint correction and protected using GTechniq c2v3, and also had the MK7 GTI PP calipers fitted which are a straight bolt on using HEL braided lines and bled all the calipers with ATE Typ 200 (well recommended as mine looked like it had never been changed)!

That paintwork is sublime. I really need to get round to mine!

Let us know how you get on with the PP calipers. I've got the same setup, and find them pretty damn good for a straightforward OEM bolt-on.

Haven't updated this in a while! The coilovers are good however a droplink did break within a month as the adjustable bit kept coming loose.

Haven't done much to the car since but took it to a local drag event last weekend and managed a 13.22 1/4 mile and 113mph terminal in the wet.

Yes I still own this!

Haven't updated this in ages, but had a lot of stuff done in 2018.

Engine rebuilt, fully forged with Wossner pistons and ZRP rods, head refurbished and R8 valve springs installed, injectors refurbished pretty much everything refreshed due to ringland failure on piston 1. Also had the wheels refurbed in shadow chrome and a load of other maintenance bits.

Plan this year is to get the hybrid k04 fitted (Turbo Technics K16/K04 450bhp capable hybrid) and hopefully make some good power.
