Thank you!

Not been much work done as I've broke my ankle! Been out for 4 weeks so will hopefully start progress again next week.

Last thing that was done was the coilovers:





Waiting to be booked in to have a sh!te bodge job repainted over rear quarter and full polish/wax etc..

While that's being done there will be R32 skirts painted and fitted and rear splitter being painted and fitted.

Waiting on an anniversary exhaust then the patient wait for the 1.8T! :)

Just got these in the post:





Ordering this Friday:



Then when it arrives taking it to tyre and exhaust garage to be de=cated and back box fitted. (Would have got the V6 exhaust if the floorpan allowed!)

Also just payed cheap as chips on these:



I know they're in a state but taking them to get the bolster retrimmed and getting them valeted. Then just wait for a loom to come up.

That's all for now. Will update again when it's been in the bodyshop, have to keep putting it off as I need the car with the Mrs due to go in labour any time!

Few hours ago attempted to solder my door module pins as I've been having a few problems with the door not understanding that it's closed!

1 little mistake and this happened..



Now I need a replacement! Trying to save money sometimes costs you more than you think! haha.

The glare is stupidly dangerous to other road users :(
