Tell me, on yours what suspension set up are you running? I'm considering budget coilovers but I'm a bit concerned as I've only ever used springs before?
rex:
Bilstein B16 PSS 10 :happy2:. Not really budget @1000+ GBP :wink:.

Remedy for the exhaust suffering from black death...
As you may or may not know, my exhaust was previously covered in black sh*t...I hated how this looked as it looked nasty and dirty, which it was.
Having had today off I decided to give it a bash, digging out my trusty wire brush, some fine wet & dry and some brake cleaner. Heres how it looked afterwards:
Considerably better I thought, the brake cleaner managed to break down most of it, and the wire brush got rid of the worst, managed to tidy it all up a bit with the wet and dry :smiley: At least it looks more like it should!

Lower grill replacement
Having fitted the GTI upper grill I decided it needed the lower to match, mine seemed pretty stiff to pull out, but sure enough pulling it to the point of breaking popped out some of the clips, then using a plastic pry bar I was able to pull out the rest.
Before:
Using a bin as a handy shelf...none genuine grill but money dictated!
After:
Really happy with how it looks, just need to do the fog light trims next pay day, but it now matches the top half! :evilgrin:

26th September - New bits done
A few little details, added a K&N panel filter which has made the engine breath that little bit better, as we all know it doesn't add 10000000000000000000000bhp but it does improve throttle response.
My rear badge backing had faded and was looking absolutely pony...I could be bothered to keep trying to use back to black, banana peel, etc for the rest of the years so I had my mate cover it in wrap, looks much better now in my opinion.
