Bit of an update:

Car has had nothing new since last post as I went travelling America for 3 months in the summer so didn't do anything car related!

Before I left I sold my wheels as I was just sick of them. When I retuned home last week the battery was f**ked so ended up getting a new battery. Got a new windscreen fitted today as other one was cracked.

Graduated from Uni last week so im on the job hunt now, once I secure a job it will be time to kick on with this car. Im waiting on a few small bits for the car now:
- AUX button for in front of the gear stick.
- Cherry red hazard switch
- New chrome AC knobs for the switches.

Few plans for the car for winter hopefully includes:
- Service & few small bits end of September.
- New front struts so I can lay frame as current ones are to high.
- RCD510.
- New flushed grill in either gloss or matt black.
- Boot pop mod.
- Re-map & few more bits.
- New wheels, thinking along the lines of Vossen CVT(really like these), BBS CH or Rotiform BLQ/IND



Will give a update when I get the few small bits done and wash the car :happy2:

Another update:

Managed to get a good job 4 weeks ago, BUT; I fractured my leg playing soccer 5 days before due to start, Ive been in a cast since and getting it of next Thursday, luckily they have the job held for me and hopefully be starting in 2 weeks time. Haven't been much done to the car as haven't been drove much or money.

I replaced the front window, flushed the front grill and plasti dipped it, cherry red hazard switch, aux button, then just a service and and abs sensor fixed.

I have my NCT(Irish version of DOE) later this month, and I may have to take out the air suspension. It should pass first time, but now I am in 2 minds to either keep it, or bring it back to standard and move up to an 06/08 GTI my insurance is only an extra 80£ which I was surprised as only 21 and now I have a job so be ok to run it as its only 10 min drive to the job.

I don't hate the 5 doors, it's just the MK5's look so much sportier when 3 door, in my mind I'm thinking to put back in the original parts and keep the good things such as Xexons, R32 rears and possible either sell the Air or keep it for a GTI.

I'm not to sure, tough call. Will give a update later this month on my decision, any one an opinions on what to do?

I'm with Liberty, 21, 3 or 4 years NCB, third party I paid 720 for my TDI and when I rang the other day to see a GTI it was €110 extra or €290 for full comp, I'm only insured a month

So you're 1010 for fully comp with liberty?
