Holy crap that's a lot of work. It looks so much nicer! Might have been cheaper to buy a 1.9 170 and remap though :P haha
alexmccabe:
Also, where did you get the Hella Celis lights from? I can't seem to find them anywhere!

What a great read! It's nice to see such a transformation from a standard car to what you have now without the 45 page thread to see the finished article.

Hey mate, I think it's around £270, if you go through UK-MKIVS (or just email Piper and say you are from uk-mkivs and saw the 1.9 TDI exhaust on Jays Mk5 and you wanted one) you'll get a discount and free shipping I do believe.

Yes it would have but, I drive a mile and a half to work every day which would be no good for the DPF, even though it does get a run regularly. Plus the cost in terms of selling, and buying and then re-insuring would be quite high and the only thing stopping me from going to an ED30 or an S3 - Plus at my age, I can't even get insured on a base 2.0 140 for a reasonable price. Even with the mods and the power declared on my policy I'm paying under £1000.. a stock 2.0 140 is over double that!! :confused:

I think I mentioned it bud, Ebay. But they are very rare now indeed, almost impossible to find. There are some on German Ebay I believe (or at least there were, as I was looking into buying a spare set to split) but they are around £320...

Thank you very much buddy. Haha, yeah, that's the only downside I suppose. :laugh: A lot of discussion/banter/random stuff goes on uk-mkivs which adds character though, so I don't mind. :driver: :driver:
I've recently bought a few bits of bodywork and hopefully will be buying some more if the guy gets back to me, and will be able to update with some exciting new additions soon. :smiley: :smiley:
