Nice work Steve. But where's the 'O' gone on the exhaust tip?  :confused: :grin:

It's just my dodgy camera skills and the design of the logo (which is also being redone all in black).  :laugh:

Steve would your AP racing brakes fit with standard monza II and also BBS Ch's?  :smiley:



PS: I'm no techy but the difference between 4/6 pot please? also are these similar?

Yes they should fit with the Monza II but may need a very small spacer.

4/6 pot refers to the number of pistons that caliper uses to press the pad on to the disc. My AP's are similar in spec to the VWR's but have a slightly larger disc.  :happy2:

Yes the VWR wheels are keepers that's for sure.

The helios will get moved on after the summer to fund so other changes  :happy2:

I am considering a US spec bumper so I can get rid of the plate plinth but I am not sure the more angular front of the Mk6 suits the cleaner look like the MK5 does  :confused:

Theres no doubt about the MK6 being the 'grown-up' hot hatch but I just cant get on with the ala ST exhausts...just dont suit it imo!!


Love the VWR rims though...looks mint wilth them on.

....If it were me I think I'd dump any oem mount and get a plastic front plate and stick it slighter higher so it's visually 'contained' across the front bumper bodywork.

My plate stays on very well indeed with just stickies.. But I haven't been to Wolverhampton again with it!

It is 362x32mm  :happy2:

Do you have a weight comparison to the R32 setup?? How much saved with these AP six pot??  :happy2:
