Lookz awesome. Thanks for those pics.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Cheers guys!  :happy2:

As I've had a couple of responses asking where I got the supplies...

The magnets were from eBay shop NeoMagnetMan. They are the neodymium N42 20mm x 5mm discs which are £7.29 delivered. Looking at the specs I assume they are the same ones as sold on e-magnetsuk.com (item 336).

I used Araldite epoxy resin to stick them to the plates and to the rear of the grill. Again, I picked up some from eBay for £4.49 delivered but I would've thought you can find it in most DIY stores.

The new front plate was from eBay seller djhplates and was just under £6 delivered.

Hope this helps!  :happy2:

they are  the magents i used. you can change time zones with them.  :signLOL: To be honest you may find they are to strong, after a while they like to leave the glue no matter which one you use i tried plenty. Saying that i use a alu plate so you might be ok.

I had great fun sticking the magnets to objects then moving them along my arm, even convinced myself i was a Magician.  :star:

Looks great! I was eyeing up that car myself on ebay in January

What's the difference with the US grille, is it just the same without holes for the number plate holder? Can they be bought online anywhere?

Car looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!  That was the colour I wanted :(

Isn't that front number plate gonna get nicked after about 5 mins?

Yeah, because sticky pads or 2 screws will instantly deter them  :grin:
If they want your number plates then they will take them regardless of how you attach them.

It would actually take them longer to take it than yours. If they decide they want your plates, they are going to turn up armed with a posi drive, once they start to try and un screw it they will be scratching there pikey heads.  :signLOL:

Some new parts... :smiley:

Neuspeed P-Flo intake (I'm not entirely happy it doesn't have a heat shield over the filter... something I need to have a look at I think!):



OEM Revision D Diverter Valve:



Fitted:



And then it was time for a Revo map where she made 310 bhp and 290 lb/ft of torque!




The torque seems slightly lower than the figures Revo quote but it's a healthy increase and she certainly pulls like a train! Let me know if you spot anything odd though please! :happy2:

I personally wouldnt want more then 300 lb ft personally, Your clutch would eventually spit bits out if your getting higher torque. Those figures make for a mighty fast car :happy2:
