OK time for another little update...so ever since i got my R32 rear. The side skirts and front valance have not quite fitted in so i thought it was time to get that sorted. So the plan was to remove the old ones and get them sent for painting but found out that mine have had a hard previous life with broken brackets and cracks underneath the skirt so to that end the bin was the only place they were going. So set about looking for some replacements came across some R32 side skirts from the company i got my R32 rear valance from.

Anyway test fitted the skirts and then dropped off at the body-shop for painting the guys did an awesome job with a 24 hour turn around here they are all painted and fitted i must say looks so much better than that dull plastic .....

Good as ever mate. Where did you get the skirts and are they the smoothed kind and do they come primed? Desperate to get my skirts painted next month.

Hi MartK
The good new the skirts come ready to go to paint nice and easy. The body shop even commented on the lack of work needed on their part. The skirts are R32 smooth not textured like gti.
I got them from this company HZ PERFORMANCE.COM
Hope this helps ya.......

Another new set of 10mm front spacers due to the first pair not being hub-centric ...I'm now thinking do I get a pair of 10mm spacers for the rear. At the moment I'm running 3mm spacers.
As I have a new head-unit I decided to get rid of the old CD changer. So replaced it with the iPod dock instead I't looks cleaner I think much better.

I know the badge thing's been discussed to death but just for a definite answer, is this just a Mk6 110mm badge on the Mk5 handle?
I want to keep the soft close so was thinking of flatting the Mk5 handle down and painting it then sticking the Mk6 badge to it, did it need any trimming or anything?
Cheers
