Cheers JV much appreciated mate..


Well i bought my first GTI.. My first Turbo.. And my first VW on March the 28th 2010.. Set me back £5000 with P/X for my mk4 Fiesta

Its a 2002/51 Mk4 1.8T.. AUM Engine code.. Reflex silver.. 5 Door.. 100% Standard..

Well what can i say i LOVE my car 

First thing i did was get insured now as some people no that set me back 3.5k  Pretty steep i know but what can i do i am 19 wanted a Turbo and a high insurance group car with only 1 years driving experience.. Such is life get over it 

Heres some shots of my car not long after getting it..

I then invested in a few parts as i couldn't stand not hearing my god damn turbo 





Thats just over £300 in a airfilter and a recirc valve lol

Next i got a FMIC which was a bad idea as it fitted bad.. other than that it was great the turbo was so loud even as i was on a stock map..

I then took that off and replaced it with the OEM SMIC as i couldn't afford a Forge or THS one as im not rich im poor from running a mk4 golf lol 

Obviousy that meant i had to get another front bumper as i had butchered the old one..

I bought one off ebay apparently 'BRAND NEW' like hell it was the paint on it was the worst ive even see runs the lot.. down the sides where the bumper meets the wings it sticks out about 1/2 an inch or so which is terrible !! Buy bad buy twice fact !!

Tried on friday to get it to fit by butchered the sides and obviously as im not body work man i failed miserably.. 

Luckily a guy on here called Johnnyturbo got in touch with me and told me i could buy his R32 replica front bumper.. with genuine grills.. LCR splitter and de-badged grill for 125 notes.. happy days.. only downside i cant have it till after 25/11/2010  Counting down the days and even when i receive it i will have to get it painted up to my colour..

I have a Saikou michi catch can on order £88 delivered from Tucson America  Should be here in about 10-14 days which i cant wait for as its custom to me 

Also bought all the necessary oil proof pipework and elbows and t-pieces..

I also ordered every different size jubilee clip that toolstation stock which means i now have about 80 clips here waiting for a clip to go to get one out of my collection im very sad like that
