Right Sharan rear badge now on:

Will be getting it sprayed black with a colour coded backround soon, will do the "GTI" black aswel

Also got my front number plate surround on, this is how the front end is looking now:

And finally this week i have bought myself a new front valance, a genuine anni front valance!

Will be spraying it gloss black to match the grill

This is how the car is looking at the moment:

Cant wait to get the replica off and the real deal on

Anni front valance should be sprayed by monday and with any luck should be on the same day

I'm now after some wheel spacers and front mud flaps with VW badges.
If anyone has any 5x100, 20mm spacers for sale can you let me know

I'm now thinking about getting my other TT Comps refurbed and done candy white? may do the brake caliper the same colour aswel

will just have to see thou.
Ideally would like a photoshop if someone is kind enough to do one for me

After having a think about getting the other TT comps refurbed i have decided i'm going to leave it for a while, not really worth doing atm.

For now i've finally bought some VW centre caps:

and after over a week waiting got my anni front valance sprayed and fitted

not the best pics, taken on the crappy LG phone again lol...

Will be looking to get some good pics with backdrops sometime this week to give a better view of the car

I'm over the moon with the way it looks with the centre caps and anni front valance

New sticker added to the boot, DubNortheast Name sticker:

Idea from myself and design from one of the other lads on DNE

This week has just been nothing but disapointing. The next updates on the car will be few and far between

As some of you may know the car has developed a knocking sound coming from somewhere in the bottom of the engine bay. I've had it in my mates garage three times now and had three different mechanics drive it, problem is not one of them can put there finger on what it is

While its been up on the ramp weve noticed some problems which include:

Rear axle bushes,
the Anti roll bars are wearing away (this could be the knocking)
CV joints need re-greasing (could also be the knocking)
needing new front discs and pads.

The only other thing that could be causing the knocking is the gear box

if it is there wont be any updates for a long long time as it'l cost a fortune to refurbish a second hand one and the only way to tell if it is the gear box is to wait until it explodes

Probably the best time in the world to stick a 20vT lump in but i'm still 19 so dont think the insurance company would be best pleased lol

Things are looking up again!!!

Found the knocking :embarassed: looks as if someone had tried to pinich my alloys as the wheel bolts were loose! that was all that was causing it!

I've replaced the back axle bushes and ARB but unfortunatly dont have any pics

I do have pics of the shiney new disc's that are now on thou

Front disc's and pads done:

I also have pic's of my attempt to colour code my sharan rear badge:
Keyed up:

Primed:

Sprayed:

And back on the car: As you can see, completely wrong yellow!!! lol (re-doing it now, updates to follow)

Been neglecting my project page again, got a couple of updates on the way

Installed my bora vents and W8 interior light yestarday, i'm over the moon with how they look! Definitely worth doing, top mod! Big thanks to wazzzer for the loom and Matt for the advice on fitting

Will get pics up asap!

Also after being undecided for many months now i've finally took the plunge and bought some coilovers!!!!

Will update with how i get on fitting them sometime next week

Since i've been modding and changing bits on my car i've got a small collection of "for sale" items lol

Anyone in need of some standard vents, a GTI or JOM airblade valance or a set of audi TT competition alloys?

PM me for any details
