What id like to do so far:-

1)Those 18" bbs look alloys
2)Spax 45mm springs
3)Anniversary body kit.
4)De badged front grill

Ive had a look through the gallery and there doesnt seem to be many ink blue ones?

1)  Because they ARE slow & embarrass the GTI badge!  :D

2)  We can appreciate your comment (ETTO etc.), but that doesn't change them from being slow!  :P  :laugh:

Not banging out just pointing out that a remap would be pointless, because the gains would be little.
