Glad to see you got back in the game with a Golf mate :happy2:

Got the bumper and exhaust on aswell now and ive had loads of good comments!

Now get modding

It feels good to be back. What exhaust did you get/go for?

I went for a full turboback powervalve from BCS and its so good!

Not running perfectly though so another trip to R-Tech is in order. Just waiting on a Loba pump and IC though first!

Have been looking at them to, Just debating whether on spending the sum of cash on an exhaust.
Have you got a video of your exhaust?

Definately will be going to R-tech once i get some performance mods on :evilgrin:

Simple couple of mods today but effective

Changes interior bulbs to led's. Such a difference this makes to the look.







Then gave myself the task of removing the rear wiper as did this on my mk5 and loved the look



Got it all off and i didnt break the glass




Still have to clean it up and markings from the wiper are left. Took about 30mins in total to complete the wiper delete

Only just seen your new build thread.

Great car, love the colour too. If she ends up anything like the old Mk5 she'll be a beauty!  :happy2:

Exhaust is finally on and what a drive home  :evilgrin:  Think i am going to drive in manual mode all the time now just so i can rev the exhaust to hear it. Auto changes to quick to really enjoy it to its potential

When just cruising you can just hear it but when you stomp the pedeal down it really roars. This wasnt even the powervalve so much be really quiet when cruising :surprised:

Very happy with this purchase has transformed the car for me

Few iphone pics

Brilliant exhausts aren't they. I noticed a nice increase in torque across the revs too, and that's without it even being mapped in.

All the Powervalve vids you could ever watch don't do justice to the noise!

Rather similar, Would say it is a little more refined but almost feels like being back in a mk5.

So last weekend some lil b***h decided it was a good idea to take a sharp object and run it along my car :fighting: :fighting:

Absolutely gutted when i came out and i found the damage, The car was so well looked after by previous owner and didnt have a mark or dent on it. :sad1:

Now i am spending my time going to bodyshops to get a quote to fix it out of my pocket!!

In total its:
Both doors
Both rear quarter panels
Boot
