Yeah, I agree. The RC's were nice though, think the design did work on the car. Cheers for the comment.

Cheers mate.
Yeah it's good! Only downside is that whenever we try to do something not car related it always ends up getting stuck working on something... still need to paint her calipers.. grr.
Got a few other updates... changed my boost gauge from the column mount pod which was really squeaky and annoying (it was fine on my TDI???) and replaced with a Newsouth Vent Gauge pod..
Also as I was staying in Kent for a few days on work I met up with a photograph mate of mine and he grabbed some rollers for me.
Got a puncture within about 5 days of putting the Merc wheels back on... was right on the shoulder so unrepairable.. Unfortunately both my tyres had camber wear so had to buy a pair... they didn't have my tyres in stock...and needed the car that day so bought some Pirelli PZeros in 205/40.. so fronts are running 215/35 and rears 205/40 hence the slightly odd front/wheel arch fitment... Once I have 205/40 on the front which I will do end of the month, along with some 8-10mm rear spacers (still need to calculate) then it will be sitting really well.
Something else that happened yesterday with Jairm's help... did (I guess it's what it's called) a euro rear light conversion...so what was the fog light, changed the red lense to clear..which is still a red fog light when on... but is also a second reverse light. So now the rear of the car is symmetrical from the rear on the lights rather than having one clear and one red light insert... As we were all working up the unit till quite late didn't get any finished pictures, but I will put them up when I can get a chance.
We are also going to be doing some other rear light tweaks soon... but need more time.
Also going to eventually get my Hertz front mid speakers fitted and get some rear components and a 4 channel amp to drive them...

Nice updates. Having just done a rear speaker and amplifier install, I can say because you have a 5 door life will be so much easier. Although I don't think it's very easy to run the front doors off an amp, as where the wiring loom for the door meets the grommet, it passes through a plug section rather than straight wires, so there's no room (that I can see) to pass aditional speaker wires through, unless you use some of the free connections on the plugs but it's a pain in the arse to get to. Not sure if the rear doors are the same, probably worth checking before you start. That's my 10p anyway...
Still love the rims. :happy2:

Your car looks great Jay, makes me want to buy a silver gti, I'm surprised you've not decided to fit a highline speedo, I think that should be your next mod!
xjay1337:
Thanks! Actually I was toying with it but not of a huge importance to me at the moment. I want a highline but I want to change the dash cluster LED's around.. carry on the purple theme... but need more work..

Yeah, it's not easy but going to be worth it. :scared:
We will find a good solution for running the wires.. my bro Jairm is a god.
The sound difference between my front and my rear speakers is crazy. Even without the additional punch of an amp... want my rear ones.. probably sort it all next month actually :)
