^^^ A few £K of mods for sure, but I brought my GTI nearly new so saved more than the cost of the mods that way  :smug:

I am slowly calming down!
Now for the booze and then the sleeping pill. Really!
Thanks for this evening's excitement! :wink: :smiley:

PS: That car is a true labour of love. :smiley:

Bloody hell SteveP

No idea what half the things you've got are or do but what the hell :wink:

Me?  I've got the seat inserts and the footrest thingy, a black bumper protector (stops the dogs claws scratching the paint) and a Golf GTI third brake light decal.

May go for the leds when Mr P has another forum buy going but will need a kind soul to fit them for me.

I had the dynaudio at full blast today belting out Queens greatest hits, now that is an awesome piece of kit I'd recommend any one who hasn't got it to see about a retrofit or something akin to it :grin:

You could have bought a Golf R ????
Mk6 GTi - returned to leasing company after 3 great years and replaced with :

Mk5 GTi - Edition 30 - Revo 1 and some tweaks - 310 bhp. Its a better car than the Mk6  - Now sold and replaced with :

Mk6 R - Rising Blue 5 Door. Won't be standard 270bhp for long

Family Car : Mercedes ML420 with 360 bhp
Looking at Porsche Macan as replacement

Nope, I still have at least £5k in my pocket against the same spec new Golf R.

And IMHO have something that out performs, handles and stops a Golf R in most situations  :tongue:

Not worth doing the same thing to a 'nearly new' Golf R?
I am sure you could turn it into a Ferrari beater! :smiley:
Go on, let this be your next project! :smiley:

Already done a K04 powered TFSI car with My last Edition 30 so no interest is modifying the Golf R :wink:

But putting a K04 turbo on the GTI's TSI engine and making it a 350bhp car with a diff etc, now your talking  :evil:

Nope, only installed the TBE yesterday and the map still needs some development before it goes on the Dyno.

It feels a little quicker than my ED30 did at stage 1.
