Small update with the car first of All ...The car in now back from the bodyshop the guys again did a brilliant job as always .Anyway they have sprayed the Whole of the passenger side of the car along with taking out some small dents no more dents and no more lacker peel I.m happy also ..I found the brake vacuum pipes had some splits on two of the pipes unfortunately you can’t buy the pipes separately And come as one the good news was the price only £29 from vw which is a winner
Also managed in find a second hand set of r32 rear lights on eBay in very good condition which I’m over the moon about ..Nothing really needs to said about these Apart from they are so much better than the standard rear lights. I’m now on the look out for some R32/S3 front brake calipers?

Very nice with the R32 lights!!
I noticed that you have the original privacy glass or is a black window trim?

so this happened today i decided to fit the Audi A4 Exhaust trims as a temporary measure for now to cover up the stock rusty tailpipes until i get new exhaust system.

When you fitted these exhaust tips, did you cut off the original rusty tips? I've bought a pair from Amazon, but they won't fit over the original rusty tips. I can see they're spot welded on, so was thinking that needs to be cut through and the tips knocked off?
The original GTI exhaust tips measure 70mm diameter, but the most I can find the tips go upto is 67mm (which is what i've got).
Thanks, Elliot
