So after just a little over two weeks the car is getting more the way I wanted with a few bits here and there now left to do.

Mods so far have been:

Eibach Sportline Springs
Aluminium Climate Rings
Aluminium Ashtray Lid
Gulf GTI Seat inserts
Pirelli logo on dash
Pirelli Logo in rear screen (Thanks VC  :wink: )
Bury iPhone 4 Handsfree Cradle
Satin Black VW Badge (still to be fitted)
OSIR Dead Pedal Rest (still to be fitted)
K&N Panel Filter (Thanks Flora!  :wink: )
New Pirelli Centre Caps
VWR TB Exhaust with Shallow Back Box (Thanks Boss Man  :happy2: )
Multi Function Buttons
LED No Plate Bulbs and side lights
Uprated Headlight bulbs
Gloss Black Door Mirrors (Thanks Boss Man  :wink: )
Gloss Black front Splitter and rear lower bumper
Open Fogs (Genuine after failed attempt at fitting replica ones!  :angry015: )
VWR Lower Engine Mount
APR ST2 Mapping

I think thats everything for now!  :laugh: :laugh:

I have finally got to give her a proper clean so she has some protection now until I can get the chance to give her a full correction. Obviously the car now feels very different but I'm still trying to get used to driving with the DSG fast. Not 100% happy with the APR map as yet but I'll reserve my judgement until I can give the APR guys a bit more time with the car!

Now some pics.......(not the best as the sun decided to hide the second I switched the camera on!!)









Side on for George!  :happy2:

Already looks much better than when it was in Pompey. Lovin' the gloss trims.

Any plans for an upgraded HU?

Also, please do a lovely write up for the correction in the detailing section. Would love to see the apprentice at work.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Yes they are vinyl wrapped by Chameleon in Daventry!

The climate rings literally just slide on. Will see if I have any better pics, if not I'll try tomorrow!  :smiley:

No plans as yet as the modding budget has been stripped bare!  :laugh:

Sorry pal, other than a few 50/50's on the gloss Black B Trims (that didn't come out well at all!) theres not much else to say. Only had time to run the DA over her with Dodo Lime Prime then a coat of Supernatural. Going to put a second coat of Diamond white maybe tomorrow!  :wink:

I'm not 100% with it at the minute as I'm not sure I have the correct map. Will hopefully get it sorted soon. But one thing for sure, it's fookin rapid!!  :evilgrin:

I know it's a bit like apples and oranges, but how do you feel it compares to the Black Beauty?
