Shaun

You ever considered flogging the rocco Xenons to fund some more mods, I think they'd fetch a good price on the rocco forums etc and whilst they're a nice option I think the cars moved on a bit.

Plus if you had a light shunt they'd be expensive to replace

I've not to be honest dave, purely for the fact they do make the front end look a lot better than standard. Aswell as I have a contact with replacements if ever I need them cheap! As for the engine mat I'm not giving anything away just yet :wink:. Let's just say it should hopefully have a weight of 1050kg so should be very interesting! All the power will be kept under control with all the previous mods carried out which has been great.

Not to far away, this is with an empty tank. The seats are carbon fibre so lost a lot of weight there when stripping the interior, also the car starts of lighter than the golf to begin with.

Spa looks awesome.

The car and driving looked really well hooked up too. Passing plenty of high end track toys, good stuff indeed.

Almost like watching Mika through Blanchimont a few years back...
