Been wanting to get rid of the twin exit back box for a while now as it dont go with how I want the back end to look eventually.So got it removed and had a nice single exit pipe made more derv style as its down sweeping and concealed I prefer it anyway and its sounds more throaty now so not bad for £40  :smiley:

Haven't done to much lately as my wedding killed my bank account off big time but now its all done and dusted and I had some pennies left I decided to get my brakes sorted.New disks and pads on the front and rear was in order so got it all done on Monday drove it away and didn't notice it at first but next day when I was braking lightly over 50 mph I was getting steering wheel wobble which I didn't have before.Phoned the garage let them know and they want it back in to check every things ok but I think its a warped disk or disks as when you slow right down you can kinda feel it grip lose grip if you know what I mean like warped disks.Anyway its in today so hopefully have it put right so once that's done no more real big jobs to be done as all the major servicing has been done.So my next task after my Hols I thinking of doing is recovering my headlining and door pillars etc,never done it before so should be fun been having a read up online and just looking at some different colors themes etc.

Havent updated my thread in a fair while as Ive been busy and just been using my Wagon not really doing to much to it tbh.So Ive started doing stuff again to the wagon and today bought myself a full Recaro leather trim I did have a leather in it anyway but the Recaro is alot nicer to sit in.Ive also scuffed two of my wheels so I was going to buy a new set but as I think the CH look so good im just gonna have ago at doing them myself so thats my next job monday.The old caddy went yesterday and picked up the new caddy yesterday few things ill be doing to that aswell front seats first up and few other odds and sods nothing really major.Few pictures of the wagon and the caddy  :wink:







And my caddy

Thanks I havent done to much myself either tbh but getting the bug again now  :wink: The caddy is going to be a shared van between me and my dad he could do with the van a few times a week and I wanted one to play with but didnt really want to sell my Wagon so we got the van between us so its a win all round really.Just waiting on the plate transfer to go through then ill get the insurance swapped over so shes good to go.Already bought 1x Touran seat only need a drives now  :grin: wheels need a refurb hence me practiceing on my Wagon wheels and a few other minor bits.As the rain stopped today I had a go at my Wagon wheels took 2 wheels off I dont know why as I only managed to do one took a little longer than I thought lol.Ive never really done any painting before so im lerning but im pretty pleased how my first wheel came out its far from perfect but not bad few pictures thanks...

Rubbed down and primered



2x coats and 1x gloss



all finished 2 coats of gloss



They look a lot darker in the flesh just my S3 flash is really bright but as I said still lerning ill do another wheel tomorrow...

Lovely finish by the looks of it..... I think they'll look better against the silver of the car.  :cool:
