Very nice Andy, the Jetta bumper is better looking than the Golf  :surprised:
Grassy pictures look good  :happy2:
I am fitting a GTI front spoiler/splitter some time soon, but then that might be it for me for a while!

Thanks, Believe it or not that is the car park for the local playing fields that is in front of my house.

I was in 2 minds when i got it about fitting the jetta front, was just going to go with the GTI one. Glad i did the jetta one now though, its a bit different and makes it look a lot brighter!

Got to repair the splitter as there is a scuff in it, I didn't have it done with the bumper as i thought it wouldn't be that noticeable, But now its driving me mad! Tempted to fit a GTI one on it though, Just got to find one for a good price!
How hard can it be?

Not done much to the car for the last few months, Kind of left it after buying a new toy!



Had the cruise control fitted and works a treat, Also split an intercooler hose and had to replace that!

Its now in a garage having some cold start problems sorted and i an going to try and source a GT rear splitter and exhaust to finish the rear end off nicely.

Kind of fell out with the car for a while after a load of problems. Had various sensors replaced, starter motor, injector wiring loom, new battery, front and rear brakes, handbrake cables and even a fuel pump! Now its all running well (Runs and touches wood very quickly!)

Decided after nearly getting rid to keep it and do a little more to it, so today it started with a little subtle touch of a set of smoked mirror side repeaters.

Before


After


Next is a GTI/GT Exhaust and rear valance to match. If i ever get hold of a decent one!

Bit of a busy one last weekend, Started out by fitting a set of pressed pates and the GTI rear valance to the car. Also got holf of a set of GTI rear flaps to suit.

Got hold of a GTI Exhaust but after having a think have decided to go for a custom stainless cat back jobbie. Thats booked in for the end of February.

And now, The "big job" that broke out was fitting the RCD510 DAB radio along with the DAB antenna in the bootlid (Genuine VW item too!) Makes the dash look a lot more modern.



Next will be getting a bluetooth module to replace the parrot and make it look more factory!

Was messing about on ebay at work bored when I came across a set of wheels I wanted a while ago.

So after a little haggling and a 4 hour round trip i managed to bag them.



Booked in on monday for a cat back stainless exhaust, also waiting on a bluetooth module for the headunit.
