ive upgraded my panel filter, smoothed the air box just need to fit my dsg intake, still havent done it!!! stupid weather being crap!

lol same as! Was hoping you could give me some tips on the dsg intake!!  :grin: :grin:

Panel filter, Smoothed the air box and R32 dsg intake FTW IMO :afro:

lol Rich as soon as i do it ill let you know mate! i think the hardest part is removing that bar steward tray at the front, Rhyso said you need ot remove the batt to get clearance, my advise at this stage is get some spare plastic plug things or some small nuts and bolts as you need to pop the ones out holding the tray in which is well very fustrating esp if you dont want to damage them, on my third attempt im ripping the F***ers out and using nuts and bolts  :evil:

Keep me updated bud  :wink: I may have roped someone into helping me with mine............... :evil:

Yes, they're a right bit*h to get out (and back in again)!!  I broke 2 before I realized how they worked!! Just use cable ties to secure the tray back in. Re. the battery, I think you can still work the trays in and out if you just loosen the one battery clamp at the front of the car.
