Cheers JV.

Going to backdate this for the first few posts as it's all on Driiive. I will copy and paste the first few and then go as I do the work after that's all done.

Few pictures from the day I picked it up:

(Not my pictures but pictures from the ad)

A shot of the anniversary BBS wheels, all genuine but these are the 8j version from the TT not the 7.5j from the anni. Not to forget the Anni sideskirts that are smoothed in BUT are cracked. I'll come back to that at a later date..



Genuine miltek cat back exhaust with V6 4mo splitter and Anniversary spoiler.



Genuine anni headlights with the front anni valance..



Just giving it a quick check over for a knocking noise I was told about when picking it up. Suspected wishbone bushes !

The day the wishbones were fixed:

Got both sides for around £45 from EuroCar Parts so we went on to get them on and get rid of that horrid banging when coming off the accelerator!



As you can see the wishbone is shot and the bushes are definately worse for wear!



Just a quick shot with Mark (Delta-Force) before I left.

Brembos!

Picked up these Brembos from a Cupra R.. Got them for a reasonable price to say the condition is in the state they are in.. These will be going in for a refurb soon.





Might just get a new set of front disks before they are fitted but I need a purchase a nice set of braided lines before they are put on. Will be looking out for a set of HEL or Goodridge lines.

Quick photoshoot

Just got a new camera so though I'd upload a few pictures after giving it a quick blast..

JOM coilovers also put on in prior to these pictures:









Centre caps will be going in for a refurb when the wheels go in but they will NOT be going until I have the correct tool to get them off! What a pain that was..

Few bits that were done a few weeks ago:

Put on my LCR splitter. Set it back a bit so it is quite subtle and protects my valance. Thinking of pulling it out a few inches though..



Before and after pipe delete:



That's all I have so far so will now be updating as I do :)

Thanks for looking.

Winniee

Wheels are gunna be a grey shade, not 100% on exact colour yet but I'll let everyone know when I come to it. Got a boost issue to sort out first...

LCR Pics below:





Not done much recently. Popped round to Baxxys the other week and had it scanned. Only had to change the temp sensor. Pretty sure you don't need pictures of that..

Went round to the garage today and decided I wanted the comfort from the Recaros back.. So took a few snaps of that..
 No particular order..























And one of my Dads whip while I was round there:
