Cheers mate  :smiley:

Nice one, which steering wheel you gone for?  Or did you manage to get the buttons for your existing SW

Where did you get your Control module from?  I need to swap mine over

I got a brand new flat bottom Gti steering wheel off Eddie-NL and because I wanted full functionality of the mfsw I had a highline controller off him at the same time. Be worth a pm see if he can get you one. Easy to code aswell once fitted.  :happy2:

Wheel looks great. I want a flat bottom one but only just fitted a normal MFSW!

Cool, you pleased with the outcome?! The flat bottom wheel is so much nicer to steer with & look at!

Yeah it was an eBay job.

Yeah I saw that, very unlucky for the turbo to go on such a low mileage car  :sad1:

I never know what I'm looking to do next on my car, usually what ever crops up for a good price on the net  :smiley:

Yeah I'm well chuffed with it. Like you say its alot nicer to hold and to look at. I need to learn to not find it as distracting lol  :driver: Also looking forward to getting my highline sorted.

Hey mate, car looks absolutely awesome! Just wondering which Eibachs did you go for, whats the drop? i'm really struggling to choose. Any problems with rubbing or anything?

Cheers mate  :smiley:

I went for the Eibach Sportlines - different websites say different drops for the the same part no - Eibach's new parts catalogue website states  45 - 50mm which i'd say was accurate.

http://web2.carparts-cat.com/default.aspx?32=17280&51=11495010218&35=2299&125=0&36=189&124=189&14=4&10=B77F4E757AAFFD9BE040A8C00A3E5459279004&12=140

Because of the offset and width of the Ch's (ET45 & 8J wide) I do very occasionally get a bit of rubbing on the rear wheel arch liner (But only when ive got 5 people in the car)  and it only happens if the road is stupidly bumpy! Its probably happened 5 times in 10,000 miles.  Its never rubbed when its just been me in the car.  You do need to do the front wheel arch screw mod though which stops the front from catching (Dead easy to do - took me about a minute each side)

I've just took a couple more pics now the springs hace settled:
