Will hopefully get some more decent pics and videos of it at MIVW in a week or so.

Had an awesome long weekend in Holland for MIVW, a few of the snaps of the car I took...











And another that I didn't take...

Got back to England Wednesday morning and piled up all of my standard parts...



Had one final play with the air:









Yesterday morning I headed up to see Matt at Only Charged Dubs, and within a few hours we'd done the following:

- Stripped out the air and refitted standard suspension
- Swapped TIP and all boost pipes, intake and d/v
- Swapped intercooler back to side mount
- Put standard exhaust back on
- Standard ARB back on
- Swapped all valances
- Pulled out a few interior parts

I changed the wheels over Weds evening, got a few more interior parts to remove and swap tailgate and headlights for standard items then it's good to go!





Car now looks like this:

Yup, dropping like flies!

The management/tank/compressor would work with the MK5 but the struts are different. I'm going to sell the MK4 kit as a whole and start again with the MK5. I fancy performance struts and a better compressor with different tank and proper boot build in the MK5.

Sounds great mate! Cant wait to see more on the MK5.
Best thing i did was break the MK4, made quite a lot back.

The MK4? It was like sailing a ship driving it down the M1 yesterday :grin:

Onwards and upwards! Just want rid of it now, got to swap the tailgate over which I'm not looking forward to :angry:
