Michelin Pilot Super Sport is not overall a soft compound, only the outer part app. 15% is a soft compound. The rest is treadwear 300, so soft it aint ;)

I will have the smoothed grill by the end of January. I already have the Carbon bonnet without the notch in it to fit. You need to do it Stephen, it looks soooo smooth in that photo.

I think attention to details is what makes or brakes a car and you are very careful with all the details. So job well done!

For the brakes you might consider some APRacing ones (very very good and cheaper than Brembo)
And for wheels I would consider the BBS range, especially the RS-GT ones which I think look great on a VW Golf (a bit expensive though)!

thanks for the kind words rex :)

I have also considered APRacings but here in Australia, the Brembos and APRacings arent too different in terms of price. I think they may be a $100 difference between the two?

I was actually thinking the BBS LM-R's but they are ridiculously expensive!~

Ah really? Nice! I'll keep that in mind for next time! Already ordered the Goodyear Assym 2's so when these wear off I'll try the michelins ;)

I'm in two minds though Hurdy....I like it, but then again it looks so bare, the front end....

I dont know. I'll see what happens after the new years :)

Fresh rubber after 50,000kms on the same tyres that came from factory.

New rubber is same brand/spec as the old ones, i.e Dunlop Sportmaxx GT's. 235/35/19. Never had a problem, and although I wanted to go Michelin Pilot SS's or Goodyear Assymetric 2's, these were in stock and theyre a pretty good tyre.
