TD 1.2s?  You need spacers mate?  Glad Im not the only one thats had to endure falken Fks lol

[Obese]

Nope they are 19" rotiform mia and yes i need spacers having the knock on affect of loosing my wing gap so i now need to get some camber adjustable top mounts. nothing is ever simple

The calipers need a refurb, the laquer has cracked over the whole caliper and looks awful up close!

I got in from work (sober, obviously) and asked if they were TDs 

Return from the bar (Not quite so sober) and wonder why on earth I asked if theyre PR 1.2s

Been playing with my intake, dry cell batter on route and going to be moved into the car so its given me a little more room in the bay. i think it will look a little better once its finished ;)

gorgeous seats, love the colour! considering retrimming my (standard) seats in a similar colour, and to complement the seats i reckon centre (cloth part) of the door cards, armrest and possibly handbrake/gear lever gaiters....

Very nice motor mate, really makes me appreciate the laser blue GTI. the only thing im unsure on is the colour of the seats but EVERYTHING else on the motor is just  i bet you have spent some dosh on this!

[TheBIGJAYY]

this makes me want a std GTI and to do modding :( haha.

awesome motor mate! made it look schweeeeeeet!! 

[Msc1]

wow.. it looks great!

[Obese]

Massive thanks to Si Sweetland (e38 forum) for sorting these top mounts out, these aren't commonly available to the general public and work with both types of spring (oem style or traditional coilover style) and allows you to add an traditional 2.5 degrees camber 

this gets me round my wing clearance issue as i have to add a 5mm spacer to clear my new brakes and allows me to continue running the car nice and low

Commented on this car a while ago on edition, really is amazing though.

One of my favourite mk5s

So the car has progressed a little, it has now moved up to work so i could get on with things and not worry about the weather and not to mention the 2 poster :wub: :wub: 

So a day on the ramp and i had this little lot to fit





then i have been messing around with a few other bits too













i also have a set of these wheels, not sure if to run them as a stop gap, and i dont suppose anyone knows what they originate from as i dont know! all i know is that they are 19s et41 i think they are 9'wide and weigh a poop load



This is only half the story of the things that you are not likely to notice, i leave the bigger bits until its back together and on the road again  ;)

Great work 

How hard was removing the steering wheel?

Also how much was the tb pipe?

Thanks

Mike
