Thanks guys. Not as tidy as the others in the show but I guess those dont get driven daily :laugh:
Picked up a bonnet bra but not sure if I should fit it as I have heard/read mixed reviews.

Also stops better now. 280mm brake setup with new track rods, hubs, bearings, disks and pads and a new brake bios valve.
Had no problems with 15'' RM and 16'' RS clearance. Also no problems with thick brake pads so very happy with the setup :smiley:

Some show pics

Mr Blue,

Please note I am no longer subscribing to this thread as I am green with envy somewhat jealous of your car.

Kind regards,

I don't think a semi will give the same results

  • I'm better than you today.
Very Nice.  Whats the paint code/colour you have used.  Seeing as my Royal Blue needs a respray as the paint is obsolete, might chose another blue.

Hello Rob. No I got those brand new from VW. It killed me drilling holes into my new genuine bumper skin but I like them. Not plummed in yet but when I do I will direct the jets towards the footpath  :laugh:

tucked look FTW. Not into the wide look any more  :tongue:

Ahh dont be. Come and see it in the flesh. You will change your mind. Its just a 70 mile-a-daily work hack now  :laugh:

Paint maybe obsolete but your local car paint supplier can mix it up. Royal blue looks amazing when fresh! Paint code is the original 'LP5U' Bright Blue Metallic  :wink:

If I was to change the colour it would be Aubergine :cool:

I'm going to have to say it again too. I really love this car, wouldn't change a single thing. Amazing work.

Those washer jets are cool as too  :cool: - do you mind me asking how much they were from VW?

I'm a fooking idiot, mine had factory fitted jets but because the bumper was smashed up i binned it!  :sad:
