Very nice, I bet these will become a classic, and will be worth silly money in the future.

Wow! I saw this car on monday at the 'tuners garage' when mine was in for an MOT and herd about some of the track focused spec the car is running.  My hat tips off to you. Nice looking stealth/sleeper GTi.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, makes it worth while.

Only a few things on the list as follows:

1) TTRS mastercylinder (From Alex @ AKS)
2) The new Revo SPS interface that allows changes via the dash display
3) Quick check over on the car
4) Quick check over on the Audio
5) Detail

Then I think it will be about done, not sure what to do next, maybe sell it and get another car.

Cheers Paul

Seriously? After all that work, would you really want to let it go? I wouldn't be able to, but I can understand why you would want another project!
How about a Golf 7 R?!

Yeah it would be difficult to sell it as I have put so much money into it (Over 30K alone in mods and audio) and even with just over 20,000 miles on the clocks I would still get peanuts for it compared to what it owes me.

I think my son may end up with it in a year or two when he can afford to insure it, He currently drives one of the new Mountune Fiesta ST's thats puts out about 215 bhp which are quite well rated in the reviews at the moment, but when he has drove the Pirelli recently he advised it makes his car feel pedestrian.

To replace it I would want something with over 400bhp standard so maybe an M4 or 9ll would do, but with working abroad now I only do about 1,500 miles a year in the Pirelli so getting something else to do the same in may not make sense, mind you lots of things we enjoy in life don't make sense, just wish I had a double garage then I could keep this one regardless.

Cheers Paul
