Thanks fella.  :happy2:

Once I'm back from my hols at the beginning of July I'll be onto Alex about some H&R Monotube adjustable Coilovers. Been on my list for ages so its about time they got fitted.

Feels like I need bigger calipers/discs now as those Porsche ones look tiny!...........goes of to add that to the list  :laugh:

Lovely  :happy2:  Always wanted those wheels !  :happy2:

Thanks Neil, would show off them big brakes of yours a treat!  :wink:

Thanks Jake.

Next? No real plan so I'll go with the flow. Front end respray (possibly), Hydro dipping some interior and exterior bits, rear footwell LED's, front votex splitter are on the list so not loads. Oh and not to mention a LSD, Full poly bush, a bigger BBK blah blah blah.  :laugh:

Oh and my beautiful wifey has a wedge of cash (it'll be Euros so always "looks" more than it is  :innocent:) to spend on holiday while I sit in the local bars eyeing up the local tottie.  :drool: :drool:



Martin, you seem to be living my mk5 tornado dream  :grin:..........I need a better paid job...... :sad1:

Cheers Paul, yours to borrow whenever dude. Just return it with a full tank!!  :happy2:



Hey martin,Why not go the full monty & get some bilstein pss10

Like them, little bit much for me.

Saw these on Awesome GTI's site (below). Anyone want to buy a kidney, a lung and my left nut??  :party:

Looks gorgeous fella.

Thanks Si!  :drinking:

Centre caps turned up today, thanks for the link bud. Looks like the wheels need to come off to fit them, annoying as they were only fitted yesterday so should have left the caps off.



To go with the Black and Red theme I put my Black/Red front VW emblem back on after a year with the Silver one on, not sure if I don't prefer the OEM one.  :confused:

My list is never ending too mate  :sad1: I'll be doing the same when we go away in 4 weeks, double double check the black raybans are in the case for ultimate perving  :evilgrin:

I was gutted I had to remove the wheels for the centres too but I had to put my black bolts/lockers in anyway so wasn't that bad.

I choose to buy chrome vw and gti badges back on as the car looked to black  :signLOL: plus I think it looks a lot smarter now.

Great car Martin, roll on your next mahoosive update  :P

Yeap your right Jake, the silver OEM front VW emblem looks better, just put it back on. Chatting to my neighbour, asked his son who also confirmed the Silver one is the one to roll with............ Never argue with a 4 year old!!  :laugh:

Won't be any big updates for a while except the coils as the house refit is costing me an arm and a leg. Why my wife can't have a second hand green bathroom from B&Q god only knows.  :grin:

Haha I get my second opinion off the dog as the missus hasn't got a clue about anything apart from shopping, wine and TOWIE  :laugh:

Same here mate, saving for a clutch and HPFP at the moment then it'll be suspension mods and enjoy it as won't be able to afford stage 3 and upwards as buying our first house around Christmas.
Stage 2+ is where the power ends for me
