Well dropped the car in today to get the oil cooler/DSG map and WMI sorted,
So that gives me a chance to get my bumper vents sorted out, the Trackdays have taken there toll on my bumper paintwork so decided to get it painted while it is off, also gonna get it clear wrapped to protect the sh!te Vw paint,
Managed to unclip all the grills out etc, really easy job and the fog lights and holders are only held in with 2 screws, trial fitted the new grills and they just need a little fettling of the back of the fibreglass on the finger parts, so dropped the bumper and new grills off to the body shop for them to sort it out  :smiley:

Stone chips  :sad:


Grills etc removed ready for body shop to repaint




Before pic didn't realise how bad the paint was  :cry:

Just a few dodgy pics of the vents fitted,
These do need a bit of work to the back of the vents to fit properly, but all in all pretty pleased with em,
The main reason I fitted these is that I wanted somowere to fit an oil cooler and it fits nicely behind the passenger side vent  :smiley:and also works a treat,
I was seeing oil temps of around 20 degrees less on track the other day, also added WMI at the same time so this might help to keep temps down another also
