within a week of owning the car i found that the springs had snapped on the front, so my first mod was to get her lowered a little, so i went and bought a set of jamex -35mm springs for £52 on ebay.
i got these fitted as soon as they arrived as i didnt have a car for work, the ride isnt the best as i havent upgraded the shocks yet. its on my list bit other things need doing first.
the walnut sh!t on the dash really didnt take to my fancy so it had to go.. i found a cheap solution in a local motor factors.. chavvy maybe but i like the look.. i went for iron on carbon fibre stuff and i think it looks quite sporty. (no pics just yet, will get some soon).
after reading bad things about the standard DV i decided an upgrade was a must. Forge was a bit pricey for me so i found this R-spec one on ebay for a little bit less, £50 for the DV and i bought some nice silicone vac hose to fit it with, and i replace the pipe on the FPR while i was there.
to compliment the new DV i added a pipercross panel filter and smoothed the airbox whilst chucking the restrictive induction pipe and replacing it with a larger diameter cold air feed (works in the same way as the DSG but at the fraction of the cost)
more later!
