Managed to find some of the old leaded fuel, definitely feels faster plus I can hear colours now!  :wink:

Considering putting a set of Eibach Pro springs on it (standard shocks) and a set of 5mm spacers on the rear, but I'm not sure if I could keep the mudflaps if I do. (Yes mudflaps it's a Northern Irish thing get used to it  :tongue:)

Nowt wrong with mudflaps,I actually think the GTI looks better with them fitted.

Took her to the beach. Kids decided it was better full of sand  :cry:

Still undecided on whether to change alloys or not....

Personally I think they look good, must be easy to clean, better ride than 19s and cheaper tyres :smiley:

True. Definitely looking into eibach lowering springs, spacers and splitter. Probably split over 3 paydays!  :laugh: :laugh:

Replaced that stupid VW badge drain hose in the tailgate. £12 for 6 inches of rubber tube that you have to cut down to fit...until the next time!

Looks great, especially with the proper amount of doors  :wink:

Nothing myself, but got my Clubsport back after 2 weeks at VW having the clutch and flywheel replaced, after them submitting a potential warranty claim, which was subsequently refused, then ordering parts, blah, blah, blah.

Would have done it myself but the clutch slipped on the way home from collecting it so they have replaced it at no cost to me fortunately, £900 odd in parts and 9½ hours labour!!

Just glad to get my car back after "owning" it for 3 weeks, but being at VW for 2 weeks of those.
