Holy crap that's a lot of work. It looks so much nicer! Might have been cheaper to buy a 1.9 170 and remap though  :P haha

Also, where did you get the Hella Celis lights from? I can't seem to find them anywhere!

What a great read! It's nice to see such a transformation from a standard car to what you have now without the 45 page thread to see the finished article.

great build thread mate.

How much is the piper system for a tdi. do you know at all?

Hey mate, I think it's around £270, if you go through UK-MKIVS (or just email Piper and say you are from uk-mkivs and saw the 1.9 TDI exhaust on Jays Mk5 and you wanted one) you'll get a discount and free shipping I do believe.

Holy crap that's a lot of work. It looks so much nicer! Might have been cheaper to buy a 1.9 170 and remap though  :P haha

Yes it would have but, I drive a mile and a half to work every day which would be no good for the DPF, even though it does get a run regularly. Plus the cost in terms of selling, and buying and then re-insuring would be quite high and the only thing stopping me from going to an ED30 or an S3 - Plus at my age, I can't even get insured on a base 2.0 140 for a reasonable price. Even with the mods and the power declared on my policy I'm paying under £1000.. a stock 2.0 140 is over double that!!  :confused:

Also, where did you get the Hella Celis lights from? I can't seem to find them anywhere!

I think I mentioned it bud, Ebay. But they are very rare now indeed, almost impossible to find. There are some on German Ebay I believe (or at least there were, as I was looking into buying a spare set to split) but they are around £320...

What a great read! It's nice to see such a transformation from a standard car to what you have now without the 45 page thread to see the finished article.

Thank you very much buddy. Haha, yeah, that's the only downside I suppose. :laugh: A lot of discussion/banter/random stuff goes on uk-mkivs which adds character though, so I don't mind.  :driver: :driver:
I've recently bought a few bits of bodywork and hopefully will be buying some more if the guy gets back to me, and will be able to update with some exciting new additions soon. :smiley: :smiley:

Urrr...





I got more stuff tucked away in other bags and drawers.  :signLOL: :signLOL: :stupid: :popcornsoda:

What's on the car there in that video is:

AutoFinesse Tripple topped with Collinite 476s (following a full paint decontamination, light refining and a pre-wax cleanser of course).
The glass is wearing Dodojuice Supernatural Glass Sealant, the glass was clayed and wiped down with IPA prior to application.

Yes I'm pretty sad.

Lol, luckily I don't have another half to have to worry about.
You think that's bad, I got a full set of front and rear lights, a clutch kit, centre console, EGR, EGR cooler, various pipes and connectors, original basic dash cluster and 3 spoke steering wheel in my bedroom.. it was only a few weeks ago I had a turbo and manifold being used as a door stop.  :drool:
