Done a couple of little bits this week changed all the interior bulbs to white smd's


And of course some gti inlays for the seats

I also replaced the number plate bulbs for smd's but no pics off those and it's mid way through a full detail at the minute so not as dirty inside as in pics now ready for dubs at the hall this weekend

sorry for lack of progress guys but I wasn't having much love for the car for a while but last week I decided I would sort all the issues and order some goodys. So for the boring bits I put 2 new outer cv joints on as they were both clicking, a new suspension leg on drivers side as it was knoking non stop, a new drivers rear wheel bearing, wiper blades and a cambelt kit and water pump and just doing this has made me fall back in love with it as it genuinely is as quiet and tight as a nearly new one. Now for the fun bits I've done a pre cat delete while I was doing the cambelt and you can really tell how much easier the turbo spools up, I've also ordered a oversized ram air induction kit, forge Pcv delete, dfb dv+, vent gauge pod and a boost gauge so these should all be here and fitted this week.

Yes definitely it's not a huge difference but you can definitely notice the turbo comes in earlier

Fitted my boost gauge tonight I'm getting around 30hg on idle which seems high but I don't no if this is down to the Pcv delete and around 15psi peak boost and it holds around 10 does this seem about right on a stock mk5

Ordered a da polisher this week and I'm hoping to get it before Christmas so while I'm off I can do a correction polish and get some sealer on it as the dirt seems to be clinging on at the minute like my paints sandpaper. Also my o/s/f wing has started to bubble  :sick: so going to look at getting a new genuine one
