Went down to Deep Shine Details in Lincon to see Adi the owner for a bit and ended up cleaning my car top to bottom using all his stuff...... :smiley:

It wasn't my plan but he said "if it's going to be parked outside then it's gotta be clean!"

RESULT!! :happy2:

Well i was just going to give the Gti a quick wash but got carried away cleaning behind the grilles..........



Then i decided to fit the bits for my air intake as per cuprajake's diy. Great write up mate  :happy2:



Just got to make a heat shield and a bracket to secure it in place but other than that im really pleased with it  :grin:

That'll do for today  :signLOL:

Booked the golf in for a Stage 1 remap at Rtech next month and took delivery of these ready for the winter.

Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme


I've just put 4 of these on my Winter wheels and they're sat in the garage waiting for the crappy weather to arrive. I'm really interested to see how they perform in the snow! :happy2:
Put them on and do a few miles to get the skin off them. They'll work better when you need them.  :driver:
I have them for mine...you'll have serious fun!  :laugh:

Blimey!  :driver:
Mine made 315bhp and very similar torque on an extremely hot day this summer with Rtech.
What mods have you got?

What vibrating you got, a get a vibration at very slow speed turning left from the drivers side front wheel. looked at it and had loads of people look at it and no one knows where its coming from.
