Hi all. I've been on here ages but first time posting. I drive a 2006 GTI,Tornado red, poverty spec, remapped to 250, R32 alloys, FK coils. I'm abroad at the minute but once I'm home in march it's getting KO4'd. I already have the turbo, FMIC, de cat/exhaust, actuator, rs4 valve but need to assemble the rest of the bits :laugh:

Hope you like, it's had some paint and stuff last month. I might start a build thread when I get stuck in to the conversion.
Comments welcome,

Welcome :smiley: Those Bentley wheels are mental!
What are you doing in the 2nd picture?
Are you in the city? I lived in Stockbridge for a couple of years whilst studying at ECA.

Thanks :smiley:, yeah the bentleys were a bit extreme, looked soooo good parked up though!
That's my mate cutting the head off the bolt on the old top-mount as the captive nut underneath had broken free making it a nightmare to get off!!
I'm just outside the city, Loanhead.
