Thanks everyone!
The rear wont go up any more. That is on its highest setting as I have the new KW V3 "Ultralows". The only way is down from there unfortunately. hahaha
But there is no scrubbing so thats good
Few more things to do....
Looking at getting wheels and BBK upgrade as my next major purchases
jedi-knight83:
Very nice.
which insert stickers did you get?
I want some that you stick on with the emblem detached so then when you put the VW bit back on you cant see the edge of the stickers (if that makes sense). Lots of the ones on ebay look like they just stick in the gaps without having to remove the VW bit.
Thanks.

Got my OSIR spoiler back from the panel shop. Greg at Baileys smash repair did a fantastic job. THe spoiler was initially CF and yes, it's a shame that the CF had to be painted but the CF didn't go with the look of the car IMO. Ideally I would have preferred the fibreglass option as I was already going to paint it. First world problems....
Anyway, it looks great. All I need to do now is to attach it
Pics of what it looked like before
Pic now
did a trial fit today. Looks 10x better than when it was CF
Also got Greg to paint my OSIR dual gauge holder, which was also in CF, in gloss black. It didn't make sense to leave that in CF (again, yes its a shame CF was painted over) because it didnt go with the rest of my gloss black interior bits
it will be matching the rest of the trim now
Greg also removed the Audi rings and the TFSI lettering on my TT-S engine cover. Again, fantastic job all round!
Here's what it looked like before. Initially, I had the whole thing painted black, rings and letter included
then I decided to DIY and get the rings and letters to stand out in white
now it's been filled with bog, smoothed and sanded back and repainted gloss black. Probably be looking at putting either the "R" logo, VWR logo or just keep it clean with nothing on it
Just some cosmetic enhancement updates for now...
Next major mods which I am looking at
- BBK's (most likely 6 pot brembos with slotted rotors, 355x32...depends if they clear my wheels though)
- Wheels (SSR Professor SP1 19" Black face, polished lip, bolts either in gold or coated in gloss candy white)
- Guards rolled and flared to accomodate
- DSG Tune (either GIAC or HGP/HPA)
- Haldex Gen 4 Controller
- CF rear valence (OSIR) and CF front lip (Garage Vary)
- Possibly changing to the Forge catch can instead...not 100% on this one yet (my current 42DD will be up for sale if it goes ahead)
Apart from that, quite happy with where the car is at the moment...maybe just some minor details here and there which needs to be tended to but overall I'm happy so far with its progress.
RedRobin:
^^^^
Haldex Gen 4 Controller would be top of my list - It will make a big difference to the handling (at least it did on the Mk5!).
Very impressed by your attention to detail and Greg's craftsmanship :notworthy:
My OSIR vented carbonfibre bonnet is painted.... On the outside only, I couldn't bear to cover it all up!
stephen8512:
Yeah I can understand you not painting the underside. I would have done the same. Since its the bonnet, no one will look underneath unless you open the bonnet anyway. And even then I think it will be more of a "wow" factor since everyone would think you have a normal bonnet when in fact when they see the CF weave they'll be all like :jumping: :jumping:
