Some excellent posts here.

The green rims are growing on me - seem to make a bit more sense as to why you did them in that colour.

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

While the main change I was hoping for this week hasn't happened yet, Kev and Pie's have helped deliver a few more mods.

First up a simple but practical mod, an extra bar to create a wheel rack for the slicks





Next was a set of these: -



And my final little addition, a PLX Wifi OBD-II Diag port reader



This will be linked up to my iPad so provide a digital dash with some gauges  :smiley:

I was looking at obdII wifi ages ago to allow iPhone logging, very interested to hear your thoughts on it.

I've seen a cool install where the iPad fits into a slot where your radio should be. I'll try and dig out the picture if that floats your boat?

I may have posted the video in random some time ago if you can find it.
Its not a golf though.

Where is the OBDII scanner from? I saw them on Amazon.
