SL03 JOE:
looking good mate
Joe.
Richn83:
Little update although short of decent pictures....
Since last post I have had some extra goodies fitted to the car, first up is an RVC camera which Steve kindly helped me fit and it is an absolutely quality piece of kit I am reverse parking everywhere now just to make use of it!
a very dirty RVC badge, its slightly different to the later MK5 3D badge.
I also got my sharkfin fitted at the same time and the cable run along with the RVC wires to RNS and it has improved the GPS positioning no end with a constant 3D lock and 9-11 satelites always in view.
another dirty pic :sad1:
I have also been struggling with the final aero panel for the rear axle this weekend, after some modding (cutting an exhaust shaped hole and heat shield) it finally went on and just needs a minor tweek this week before I go on a French road trip :party: will be interesting to see what I get on a really long run on the auto-routes I have already seen 380 miles from one tank of motorway driving.
I also picked up a complete set of NQSBBK from jmspear going to give the disk etc a bit of TLC and look to get them fitted in a month or so but lookign forward to some better stopping power :evilgrin:
And finally a nice shot that the missus took of the car as I tried to find a parking space away from all the cretins while on a trip to Solva in Pembroke :pomppomp:
mortygttdi:
Very nice Rich :happy2:, I do like the Aero bits but think I would smash them to bits just like the standard ones on at the moment :grin:

Richn83:
your car is a little lower than mine :laugh: some of them you could fit like the rear control arms as they sit on top of the metal and you could always go for the metal engine under-tray for the front, then again I guess mpg isnt too bad on yours if you dont floor it everywhere. How are things going with the hybrid?
mortygttdi:
Hybrid going well mate, just had a new map from S/C and it now pulls like a train on super steroid coal...
Still messing with the cold start but i think its a timing issue? But other than that superb mate.
Ill have a look into what i can fit and get them ordered then. I actually have a metal under tray sitting in the shed but its from an A3 and will not fit the golf? Shame .
