Picked this up a while ago its a 140 tornado red 20k gt sport usual spec plus dual zone.
After much research and consultation I felt the 140 offered more in terms of reliability and economy.

Need to fit my reverse camera next lol
Looking for a eddy 30 front valance and want to fit gti rear balance with the colour coded section.
Prob go for either carbon chip tuning remap or r tech still undecided
Happy days love the motor wasn't keen on red but it's grown on me
Thanks

I had some really bad door card vibrations and resonance from the passenger side so i bought more skinz sound deadening and deadened the door card this has signifactly reduced road noise and killed the door card vibrations however i still have a tiny bit of speaker resonance which is annoyng and only heard by me ....
Next stage was to sort out the exterior
-
I managed to get hold of an edition 30 front valance it was cracked but my bodyshop are simply superb they repaired and painted it two tone as if to say it was brand spanker i then got the skirts and eventally found a rear edition 30 valance painted up and fitted along side the gti roof spoiler....
I also carbon wrapped the roof to finish it off....
i orginally had this painted but onthe same day found an eddy 30 so bingooooooooo

I also managed a to pick up a full set of R32 Brakes with discs and pads for a ridiculous price
so am in the process off painting them brembo red the paint is from a caliper refurb company
who did my last brembos its quite a bright red/orange and is superb to brush on....
I need to get new pads for them front hoses, and 4 dust shields and were good to go...

Chrome window switches
TPMS/ Bi-xenon shutters
Rear View Camera <<<<<<....................BEST MOD
Rear Footwell Lights - Led Interior Bulbs

Car is looking ace Nad. Really like what you have done with the exterior. Nice one. Glad the Skinz sorted your door resonance. Awesome stuff that. Wonder what's up with the speaker resonance though. Very odd.
-
I really wish I could sort the speaker resonance it make a noise at low base as if there's interference am thinking if changing the speaker

Coming along strong mate

liking what you've done so far :happy2:
Really like the black infill on the front splitter and rear valance, sets it off nicely :laugh:
