Thanks for the comments, and yes my fronts are legal 70%.. not been pulled since they have been on so cant say for defo if they are legal or not, but they do look light so should be ok! and no i never used anthing on the plastics as i knew it was going in for painting, thanks for the concern tho  :happy2:.

....Twintake vs ITG and Blueflame vs Milltek is largely down to personal preferences - They're all good - Check the reviews on this site.

Forge spacer is just a noise maker and considered chavvy by most Mk5/6 GTI drivers.

Revo2 is IMO the best balance between having plenty power but not needing even more mods or pushing the engine closer to its limits if you care about longevity. Revo has the advantage of being able to fine tune the settings etc and is well proven.

Looking very nice.

The colour coding makes a real difference to the look. Did you have the bumpers smoothed, they're suppose to be textured on the GTi's aren't they?

Good Job Johnston
