Looks awesome!
Will you be leaving the colour of the seats black?

I have finally succeded installing the new Sinfoni amplifiers. To my surprise, the sound was similar to the VRX on mids and highs but faster and more precise on midbass and sub. It's a double success : better sound and much lower weight. the 3 VRX amps + 2 MDF boards had 40Kg and the 4 Sinfonis + aluminium mounts have only 15Kg !

 

Weight deducted until now :
- subwoofer + enclosure > 34.5Kg
- spare wheel + tools > 17.5Kg
- MDF board over the amps > 8.2Kg
- Rear seats > 27.5Kg
- Front reinforcing bar > 1.8Kg
- S3 hubs > 3Kg
- Braking system > 12Kg
- 18'' wheels > 2Kg
- Recaro seats > 18Kg
- Lower rear bench > 5Kg
- Sinfoni amplifiers > 25Kg


TOTAL until now : 154.5Kg

Bruce, those are all good choices but Nelson improved even more the sound on the new generations (XA.5 and X.5). I'm using the XP10 preamp & X250.5 amp combo in my house and they are great amplifiers with insane levels of dynamics and crystal clean output !

Going back to the car now, does anyone have a comparison between the OEM/CARBON versions of the hood and trunk lid) ? I know the OEM hood is 15Kg but don't know how much for the boot lid. I also don't know the weigt of the Seibon equivalents. I'm looking for the vented hood that Seibon makes but they have a shaved version and a normal version. Wich is the weight on each ? Can they be painted black if they are carbon ?

Sadly I had my hands on a brand new genuine Becker/VWM hood in 2010,
but I decided against it.

If you can afford it I would send an email to Bildon and Becker Carbon who
manufacture the carbon parts for Volkswagen.


ps:
great amps !!  :happy2:
I use horn speaker and so I need very little power. The Aleph J is my second
Pass DIY project after the PearlOno.

Why did u decide against it ? That one is clearly the lightest of all with only 4kg and dry carbon. Seibon replied today and said the Dv shaved hood has around 11kg and the boot lid about 9kg. I would spend money on a 4kg hood but 11kg is too close to the OEM weight to deserve the money. Bruce, do you recall if the VWM hood was vented or OEm style and the price ? I will mail them in march/april when I'll have the money. First, the kerscher fenders, Odyssey battery and RS29 pads are on the list !

I hardly regret my decision.  :ashamed: :ashamed: :ashamed:

I didn't like the vents and the trouble with TÜV etc.. At that time
my GTI was almost stock.

You're right. The best available quality and the most lightweight.
Put you fingers in my wound . . . .

What was the price of the hood Bruce ? Donal, I got them second hand at half price. One of them was new, the other was on a car for like a month so very good deal !

I remember a mate first told me about 500,-- €, then 600,-- €. I felt
a bit disappointed about the raising price. But it's gone anyway.  :sad1:

The hood was brand new from Volkswagen Motorsport Hannover stock.
At that time their activities switched from the Mk.V to the Mk.VI.
