cheers dan  :smiley:. I got a bit tired just seeing the boost pipes constantly and there always looked liked something was missing, but with the vents back in its put my mind to rest  :grin:.

As far as wheels go im really liking the look of some fat BBS RS's with dish and tyres stretch but sizes etc are way over my head!?


what’s the best method of attaching the skirts to the car? Anyone got any links for products??


cheers :cool:

Use that stuff to stick the side skirts on! tape them into place, leave over night, and then put a bean along the sill edge and wipe off the excess with degreaser and rags :)

RS's would be sick! I think 18's are the best kinds size for MK4s, staggered fitment of 9's out back and 7.5's for the fronts!

New month new picture  :drool:

Yesterday after work I was humming and awwwing on what to do with the day. The weather couldnt quite make its mind up if it was going to be sunny or rainy :rolleyes:

So i got my thinking cap on and came up with an idea :smug:.

Operation stealth :cool:

From this  :sick:




To this  :cool:






I had to cut the engine cover slightly for it to fit


Hard pipes drying



Also got round to fitting my Anni skirts  :laugh: Have totally fallen in love with my car again :cool:

This is going to be some propper picture whoring so appologies in advance.

The weekly detail  :cool: So much easier now the hose pipe ban has been lifted  :shocked: :laugh:



Reflection b!tch :nerd:

The engine bay looks a lot nicer with the cover on and pipes painted black. Personally i'm not a fan of the red and blue hoses though, especially the small ones on the left hand side of the bay.

Must agree ^ would look better with black hoses to match ur nice newly painted pipe work.
