It's supposed to remove any flat spots so worth doing.
It's only worth fitting if your fuel pump is uprated. Standard pump doesn't reach the limits of the standard return valve.

Hi, loving the mods you've done to the car. All done tastefully and make the car look so much better!  :happy2:

Thanks, I was going for a bit of a sleeper look so objective achieved  :smiley:

Ok so I'm happy with the performance of the car but still think it's lacking something in the styling department.

Suggestions on what to do next?

Why not upgrade your gear stick for a mk6 or mk7? I got a mk6 one on the cheap just by looking daily and getting lucky!

Upgrade to xenon lights?

Upgrade to ed30 lights? I upgraded mine yesterday!

Shark fin antenna?

They're my suggestions albeit not cheap ones!! I've tracked most of it in my build thread!

Lovely car mate!

Ordered myself a vortex golf ball gear stick today. I'll post when fitted.

Also look at replacing the tailgate handle for either a mk 6 or mk 4. Not sure if I should go black or stay chrome?
