So it's been a while since my last post. A few bits have changed with the car.

The knocking noise is pretty much sorted. The left hand cv joint was shot to s**t managed to get it replaced under warranty from the garage that fitted it originally.

I have also sprayed my front grills and fog surrounds satin black so it looks a lot better imo.

Also removed the gti badge from the rear.

I'll upload pics soon.

Off to the Nurburgring soon. So need to do an oil change, while I'm there I'll probably change the oil pick up. Need to do file filter and spark plugs as well.

As I say I'll upload pics soon.

Thanks for reading

Hi GrahamGti

The car looks great mate, good to see another black gti getting some love. You've pretty  much done the same mods as me lol.

Love the satin black grill, i've been tempted to do that myself but i restored my OEM with C4 and the results speak for themselves. Plus I have the diamond cut 18" monzas on mine so now the grill colour matches the wheel inserts as VW originally spec'd.

I discover Poorboys too, what an amazing product that is!! I use nattys paste to seal the car too and the rain just beads and runs off.

I'll be keeping an eye on your progress.

Good work fella

Thanks rippers for your kind words.

I love the black hole product it gives my paint a great look.

Booked in at pipecraft in Basildon at the end of the week to have my centre resonator removed and a pipe welded in place.

Still contemplating a remap before I go to the Nurburgring in a couple of weeks.
