.
Re Jubilee clips, use stainless steel ones - They cost a little bit more but are more durable and you can get them on and off without a VW special tool.

well a few updates...

main one, bonnet got it's locking pins in, what a neat job, I must say...





Changed over the gear shifter link with a new 42dd shifter bush, as I had been sent the wrong ones before hand, 5 gear bushes instead of 6 speed, but had to make them do till now, but job done and gear change is great  :star:

Done the number plate magnet mod, as I had only got round to get a new set of number plates, about time lol.
collected the materials, glue re-applied a couple of layers of material, just to prevent marking my front grill.!













New Revo intake fitted, with a few adjustments to help it fit better, just me being me, as I had said previously in another post...

rubber hexagon double ended with a small spacer to hold the intake in place and the coolant hose sitting on top.

with the kit came a jubilee clip, but I used or am trying the spring loaded clip, that is used oem style...

Added the forge boost hose with the new kit...  :innocent:

as for the end of the filter, I used the VW OEM tape wrap, that is normally used to wrap wires, but I was not happy with the seal, and thought it would give extra grip, so it got wrapped around to help seal the rubber hose...
which I feel much happier about, as it had come loose once or twice...
I feel if the rubber connector had have been one inch longer, it would have been a better idea to help seal... Just my thoughts, if anyone has a good geninue reason as to why they are the length they are please come forward and tell me please!


I also was not happy with the tiny little jubilee clips, so I added my own type, which again maybe over kill but it will not come of as easy, and I have good faith in them  :signLOL:


A few other we bits of attention to the finner detail...

A few carbon bits added under the bonnet, to help finish a nicer looking engine bay, in my eyes...

One of my latest mods was adding the mk6 golf GTI gear knob to my Osir gator, which is a real nice touch!





A nice new bottle opener!


What a great picture, took this at one of the latest watercooler car show, well more of a campervan show, loads of vw's campers, ya gotta love them!








My Mates 1953 dub... some pup still in great condition


A few other bits here and there but, do not get to see them  :P

Very tastefully modded, Neil  :notworthy:

Although they may be OEM, you'll find that stainless steel Jubilee clips will last longer than the VAG spring clips and are much easier to undo when/if required without hitting you in the face!

just a bit of OCD...

Neil Neil Neil...what can I say? Speechless as usual!

Crackin' mods yet again you have added to your car!

One of the nicest Reflex Silver GTI's I have seen..didn't think it could get any better!

Keep up the good work mate!

Once I get a few parts etc for mine down the line I may have to give you a shout for some advice  :signLOL:
