Not much to update, other than I took the GTI on a Road trip to Germany to attend Essen Motorshow, I have to say Considering the cars now on coilovers and 3 up with luggage drove like an absolute dream. The trip was just shy of 800 miles and the car used up 2 tanks which I thought was quite reasonable considering we took advantage of the awesome roads in Europe along our way.

I cant really justify R32 xenons at the moment as I'd rather spend the money on some wheels, so I opted for some Updated Osram bulbs.

I also finally got round to actually fitting some my 3rd set of R32/Edition 30 Tail lights to her, as I sold my previous 2.

I think thats my modding done for this year, and next year only a set of 19s or at least I hope so.

Gave it a quick wash too.

Heres some pics

Osram Bulbs highly reccomended



Before the Tail lights




Heres Loads after

All comments welcome as usual

.... x 2

For road legal plates you should have the required space between so that it reads 'R7 KYX'. Also 11mm space on left of 'R' and right of 'X'. I think you are also meant to have a name and address of the supplier along the bottom too. It's all documented in detail on the hyperinterwebbynetthingy. Show plates iz differente.

Thanks mate

Its a legal registration mark, Spacing aint exactly how it should be, but the font and sizing is exactly to Gov.spec just not spaced. Ive ran my number plate in similar ways for several years and I've been fine< or at least till now
