Have your thought of getting that rear section wrapped in Black vinyl? :wink:
Oh and get those manky exhaust tips sorted! :laugh: :happy2:
--- End quote ---
I thought about wrapping the inner section of the rear valance but didnt know whether the heat from the exhaust would affect it so I was going to paint it. I know the owner of a local wrapping business so wrapping would be cheaper if it would last ok?! Might do the middle of the front valance aswell just to break it up a bit.
As for the exhaust, i've got a Milltek Cat Back on my TDI at the minute and have just spoken to Leigh from Milltek regarding whether it will fit the GTI or not. He said some do and some don't so i'll get the part number of it when i've got it up on the ramps this weekend and speak to him again on monday.
Yesterday also saw the purchase of a Cambelt Kit, 40k Service Parts and DSG Service Parts so i'm £249 down after that lot :sad1:
On the Plus side, by the end of the weekend i'll have fully serviced GTI and will hopefully have my S3 Brakes and BBS VZ's on it aswell :smiley:

Well we had quite a productive weekend
The car went into the dealers on Saturday for the Coilpack Recall and whilst it was there my mate fitted 4 new spark plugs in it. Then we were back again yesterday for 6 hours doing the following.....
Remove S3 Brakes from GT TDI and Fit Originals, Remove Brakes from GTI and fit S3 Ones, Change Wheels Over, Fit Rear Mudflaps, DSG Oil and Filter Service, Engine Oil and Filter Service, Brake Fluid Change, Air Con Service and VAGCOM Checks (which were all clear thank god)
So after all that, the car is now looking like this with the S3 Brakes and the BBS VZ's on..............
It's in need of a good clean now and some photo's with something other than an iPhone. I've been in contact with Milltek (who have been very helpful) but unfortunatly the Cat Back from my GT TDI won't fit so i've had to scrap that idea :sad1:
Next weekend we'll be tackling this.......
Yep, Timing Belt change. Once thats done the car will be fully serviced up and ready to start modding properly :evilgrin:

Hi Mattposs How much was the belt kit if you dont mind me asking :drinking:
MattPoss:
I'm not too sure, I paid £250 for all the parts (belt kit, spark plugs, engine oil and filter, dsg oil and filter, brake fluid, screenwash e.t.c)
My mate is a mechanic there so I got a few pennies off :happy2:
