Got some changes on the way in the form of the following:-

Colour coding
R32 rear end (SteveP) with OSIR exhaust trim (Rich)
Milltek quad exhaust (no golf clubs at all)
Carbon fibre mirror housings (danishmkvgti recommendation)
Carbon fibre fog surrounds (matsu)
OSIR paddles (vRS Carl)

Will update with pics when complete, just awaiting a few things to arrive and trying to arrange how / when I can give up the car for the work to be done.

Just like to say a big thank you to all the people in brackets for the parts  :happy2:

When I bought the car I definitely said I'd leave it standard... whoops  :evilgrin:

I took my blue glass a step further by adding a graded blue sun strip:



Steel Grey was my second choice when I bought my GTI. Your Valeo's look totally OEM on your grey car. Beware the slippery slope though!
Apologies op...BUT,
Dude, would love to see pics of those seats... :laugh:

Yes, Ive drooled over those. I've e-mailed recaro. Got no response from them. Seen some on e-bay, but this person in Germany wanted $9000 usd for them.
I wish I could find out where I could get even One of these....

I thought so as well. A similar recaro model is under $3000 usd, But not near as sweet looking.

Weston that looks awesome mate :party: Were the rear lights plug & play or did you have to fiddle with them? Seen these lights or something similar on Geman ebay, would they be the same?
