Think its about time i update my thread  :surprised:

I have done/doing a few changes to the car.

I now have fitted a highline. Love that the sat nav comes up on the screen. Just need to get an MFSW which will give me the full use of it with the RNS-510 as well. But funds have been else where.




I also have RNS-510 and a mdi kit for the glove box, The sound is distorted on some songs but maybe it is my ipod nano 6th or iphone 4s that it doesnt like? But the wiring is correct (thanks to Martin) for checking it for me. Also did a few things on VDCS for me.
The car locks when i drive over 10 mph
Car beeps when i lock it because i was always thinking it was never locked. :ashamed:


I have recently brought some BBS VZ which look amazing. Always wanted these or CH but the prices of CH are crazy. Waiting for the warmer weather before i put them on. Hopefully the tyres i have already will fit on these.
Gave them a quick clean today and then went into storage





I also had a service a few weeks back and was told i have a few thousand miles left on some pads and discs so i thought it was a good time to upgrade my brakes. I purchased an R32 set up front and back which i want to get refurbished to bring the colour back and make them clean. Just waiting for next month so i can buy the discs and pads. I was thinking drilled or J hooked discs. Going to drop the car on some springs when i get the brakes fitted. I was thinking Eibach Pro 30mm or maybe go for some H&R but nto to sure yet. Dont want to go to low and also want a decent ride.



Just a little sticker for the back window which i put on the inside so it doesnt get damaged by the frost and me with a scraper  :grin:



Thats all the mods for now until money builds itself back up

A few pics of when i cleaned my car a few weeks back

What winter does  :sad1:




and after a days work and alot of TLC

Another update, After having all these parts i finally got around to getting them on the car


First thing was R32 brakes. The front went on no problem and then i found that i need rear hubs for the rears to fit. So they are on order and hoping to be getting them on soon. But the fronts are so powerful compared to what the car orginally used to have. Feels like im hitting a wall everytime i brake!

I did the refurb myself





Got the car on Eibach pro springs 30mm and changed the front to gti one. But didnt realize the Gti emblem was a different size  :fighting: so ive ordered a black one.
So this is how it is sitting for now

Has it not been lowered ? You could do with giving under the wheel arches a bit of tlc tho , i did mine and they look brand new now and were worse than yours previous
