Gold looks nice.

White would look like it dropped straight out of Essex. :sick:

Must be why I like them then!  :wink: :grin:

So if you have been reading Brads thread then you know me and him have been upgrading our brakes


Will get proper pics of the brakes once my wheels are ready  :cool:

And I've also been busy giving the bay a spring clean





The silver part of the engine cover is going gold to match the inlet/plenum aswell as the aux belt tensioner and the top of the fuel pressure reg, pretty much anything you can see that is silver/chrome is going gold  :shocked:

Also, im running my standard throttle body until the weekend because Brad forgot to bring our Vag-com at the weekend and the new port matched t/b needs aligning
Can already feel the difference in the car tho  :wink:

Go away!  :grin:

I've had to settle for a 16V over the VR that I soooooooooooo wanted and that just isn't helping!

Where all my moneys went.

Looks spot on Ben. I think Brads OCD for cleanliness is rubbing off on you!  :grin:

Sig looks wicked too!  :cool:
