Definitely not up for sitting in MacDonalds car park. Nice job with your car btw

Thanks, collecting and fitting the headlights and gti interior this weekend so will probably get my proper camera out and start a real build thread now that things are taking shape. Next set of plans are for a engine and DSG remap. see if i can get close to GTI speeds.  :pomppomp:
