Yeah a huge difference. It feels like the back end is on rails.

Got the front ARB and front springs to be fitted on Thursday. Friday prepping and detailing the car. Saturday is the opening of our new garage, then Inters on Sunday.

It's gonna be a fun week.

I'm not sure yet, I'll probably decide on the day. It just depends how our open day goes and if i can be arsed setting off at 6am. Are you taking the estate or the Jetta?

Any convoys from Manchester on the Sunday?

Front springs and ARB are now on. Managed to do both springs and the arb in about 6 hours so not bad to say I'm still a novice.
Here are a few pics of it all done. DPF delete and GTI front brakes coming soon.

Is it just a straight fit the gti roll bar ? And whats the difference between the gti bars ? Are they thicker or solid ?

Yeah just a straight fit. Got them off ebay for a tenner and they had the bushes already on. They are either 2 or 3 mm thicker, cant remember exactly but its just tightened up the car. I would really recommend it to anyone that doesn't have a gti.

Sorry I haven't been on for a while. Mad busy with work, but just bought some Monzas and they are going in for a refurb next week. I was thinking gunmetal face with a sort of denim blue for the insides. What do you guys think?

Looking good mate.  One question though, where did you wire the light up from the camera for the number plate lights?  I tried installing one a while a go but gave up trying to wire the light up :(
