Revitalised Ed 30 front end with new bumper and Votex splitter delivered home after a week with a brand new Bluemotion Polo courtesy car.
Teeny 3 cylinder engine sounded great but could barely pull the skin of a rice puddin'!!  Nice new Composition Media system though, DAB, Bluetooth, radio station graphics etc. Just missing Nav.

Had a play with some of my GoPro bits and bobs to make another Trackday mount.

Just waiting on a replacement casing that has a side cutout for the external Mic S videos with loads of wind noise bug me;

Car drives now drives and rides how it should have from the factory, to say im over the moon would be an understatement. No more crashy ,jiggly ,vague and nervous  handling.
Hard to tell which components have made the most difference,as so many changed parts all at once,but the steering is just how i wanted, much more responsive with less wheel input (almost feels like a quick rack) ,more neutral aswell, always used to get heavier with half a turn of the wheel, prob due alot to the reduction in unsprung mass.
 I was really apprehensive about spending so much money on suspension, worried it would( like in the past) take away all the nice things vw gave the car, ie. smoothness, relatively comfy and rattle free ect.
Alex knows what i dont like and i have a feeling he thought they would be off and fitted to his vrs in a week :wink:

Worth every penny and some imo
