Greenhouse,

the carbon stuff is OSIR, you can get it from the TT shop, both links shown below.

On one of my old posts ive uploaded the price list for OSIR as bought through the TT shop, they are the sole uk distributers of this stuff, think you may be able to search posts by me and get the list.

I made the badge from a 25th Anniversary badge I bought from the states. I heated the badge to carefully remove the lettering, then applied it to the original  :cool: Gotta say I was well chuffed with the result!

This is the rear also

I was expecting trouble after I read a few guys had to change screw length's etc, but it went straight on!  :smiley:

The engine cover was even helpful too!  :laugh: The hardest thing was upgrading the orange side light bulbs! That was until I sussed they pulled out not screwed  :grin: Why do VW have to make the plastic edges in the engine bay so damn sharp!!

I got it from Fleabay America. Came with a K&N Filter, and all for £120  :laugh:

do you have link for this ebay page, if its 1/2 price am up for one.

I did notice a slightly louder induction noise, but not overtly so. Performance-wise I noticed naff all as I had a remap done at the same time :grin:

I agree with what you say though  CF rocks!

Very true Shaun! I did get stung with bill from DHL!  :embarrassed: It's the first time I've had to pay so shouldn't complain. Still cheaper than Carbonio  :smiley:

K4ith, yes I've left the protective cover on the VW badge until I decide what to do with the engine cover. May have this done as CF although stunning to look at, is a bit expensive!  :cry:

It's kind of in line with the Black/Red look im going for  :cool:
