I love R32's. I had a mk4 R32 and loved it, now got a ED30.

Is that photo taken at Kappa Mill in Snodland by any chance. If so I have seen the car a number of times and like it  :happy2:

Cheers.

How the hell did you pin point that mate  :smiley: i appreciate you may have seen the car round Snodland but to get where it was taken.....cool

Hi mate, sweet wheels

Cheers, must admit they suit the car so much more than the ones that came on it, so glad i found a good OEM set on ebay, as had reps before that were ET42 stuck out far to much with some major rubbing sometimes.

well its been a few months and there are a few more bits to add to the list first off i fitted the rear H&R anti roll bar, i got a local garage friend to fit the front one, but with hind sight could have done it myself. more pics to come







i fitted a blue haldex controller i picked up quite cheap from a guy on R32oc that was all quite straightforward i haven't gone for the switch on it yet so its in permanent sport mode










but here are 2 of the best mods i've done, i fitted the white Scirocco R clocks with needle sweep (yes they needed coding to the car by someone with the correct software either ED or Kalu)



And last but not least wanted to be held in a bit more snugly so got hold of these






you need to fit airbag resistors if removing OEM seats which can be done here

also trying to fit park assist follow my progress here
