so far i have done very minor mods

SS straight threw pipe to magnex back box
piper induction kit
front and rear GTI badges removed ( need new ones )
lower bumper air vents

future plans are

oem 16" Vw or audi wheels
coilovers ( getting them on a group buy for Ã‚£150 !!! )

i want to keep the out side oem as possible !! but euro clean at the same time
gona give the car a dam good clean and post more pics

Post by: remapped on 14 March 2008, 00:34: induction kit install

i have mounted the filter different than the piper guide told me to normaly the induction kit sits over the alternator next to the engine were mucho muchos!! heat is so i decided to trim the rear of the head light remove all the OEM air box parts which are in wing and place the air filter next to a wide open gap which gives it cold air this set i have found to be the best.
