Very nice mate!! Whats next on the list body wise!?

Cheers :afro:

Source & paint some sideskirts, either different headlights or modify current ones and that's about it for the moment. Once that is done suspension will be sorted, still trying to decide whether to go down the route of shocks/springs or coilies. Probably get some decent lowering springs for the moment & save for a good set of coilovers, once that is done I'll look at wheels :grin:

Smug fatherless son!

Is that Wherry speak for 'Looks f*cking awesome?' :grin:


Maybe...  :grin: :cool:

Seeing as everyone loves a bit of carbon:

It was this stuff:

I figured that for £0.99 you can't really go wrong! It's very easy to work with, I just need to order some more to do the ash tray cover & the rear door pulls :smiley:

I've wrapped all of the walnut in mine apart from the ash tray cover, I've got some more vinyl on the way to do that. Also ordered a new gearknob to replace the walnut one :sick:

Have you got black trim in yours? If so you'll need a different radio cage, or just take your cage out & wrap it then put it back in :smiley:

I know what you mean about having loads to do to it, I'm the same, just not got the cash at the moment :sad:

Yeah my surrounds that is just plain black and you cant do anything with it as in change it I think its standard in Gt tdis as my dads isthe same but he has just stuck a Anni set on his.I think with mine as its just a standard car it makes me feel ive got shed loads to do but really compared to what ive done to my mk3 its not that much really.Ive started buying small bits mainly tatty trim bits as I cant stand scabby trim in a car  :grin: I think yours looks a great base and stick with it and it will come good soon enough.Whats it like now on fuel after the remap as a few people ive spoken to reakon the 20vt after a remap drinks?

Around town I'm seeing around 25mpg, on a mixed run around 30mpg and on a good a-road run around 35mpg - that's driving pretty sensibly though. If I put my foot down those figures drop pretty rapidly....it's worth it though :grin:
