THS front mount kit is awsome and fitting is easy with basic tools.
Best mod iv done tbh.

Iv had both.
THS is the best and id go for that every time.

However the toyosports one is cool its cheap and does the job.
You have to have pipes sticking out your bumper though il show you pics now mate of both set ups.

THS one





As you can see unless your pretty much eye level its hidden  :cool:

Heres the toyosports one and alot of hours went into this to get it looking like that but I still wasnt happy.



Its not OEM atall but does the job ok with stronger clamps and I even cut down some pipes.
The pipes came in polished metal so I wrapped them in black too.

Have a look here:-
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=238012.0

When I was looking at FMIC setups the THS one was out of stock everywhere
did the above and havent looked back to be honest, I do still need to do more messing around getting it to fit right though
ARZ K03s, Oettinger Side Skirts, R32 front, Carbon stage 2, Forge 007p (yellow spring), Forge Actuator (yellow spring), Pipercross panel filter with DSG parts, N249 and N112 deleted, SAI deleted, Carbon canister deleted, Rear wiper deleted, Long Life turbo back custom exhaust with 200 cell sports cat, VR6/G60 clutch kit, Creation Motorsport TIP, Catch can, 'Wellycooler', K04 charge pipe, S3 ported inlet manifold - looks pretty standard on the outside though :)
