Car is looking awesome as always Matto  :happy2:

Your car seems to sit lower than mine on the H&R's, I don't know if its because you've got the front splitter.

Keep up the good work matey  :smiley:

Don't worry after all my effort trying to keep mine clean it's still filthy. Yours still looked gorgeous even if it was dirty.

Very nice, Matt. So is it the 35mm kit you used? I'm looking at the same springs for mine, don't want to go too low! Love what you've done to it!  :happy2:

Yeah it sits just how I like it and handles loads better. Very fun to drive now. I think the remap came to a smidge over £500 but that was a deal I got from them at last years Autosport Show. This was for what they class as a custom map as I had the DPF removed/mapped out plus the EGR done at the same time. No problems no. Does smoke a bit though when you give it some but I've got used to it.

Very nice, Matt. So is it the 35mm kit you used? I'm looking at the same springs for mine, don't want to go too low! Love what you've done to it!  :happy2:

Cheers mate  :happy2: Yeah I think it was the 35mm kit as I believe mine was 10mm lower as standard with it being the GT Sport.

Well yesterday I took a trip down to AKS. Nothing for the Golf this time but had the girlfriends car serviced. Once this was done I went to collect some winters that I had won on eBay and also met up with Kalu to pick up some other bits. Quite a fruitful day. Need to get them fitted now.
