Ed the steel grey edition 30 apr tuned
« on: April 30, 2013, 06:57:16 am »
Well decided I may as well get a build thread going on this. I've had the car for a month now, and I have too say its one of the best all round cars I've ever owned. The added bonus being I got it at a great price. The car has full extensive Vw service history also.  :smiley:
Since owning the car I've done the following.
Had the front bumper repainted due to annoying stone chips. ( I have OCD and as I own a detailing business it needs to be right)
Carried out a full service including changing the pcv and dump valve for piece of mind.
Full set of new tyres
Fitted a neuspeed p flow ( soon for sale)
Apr stage 1 remap
Fitted new smoked plates
Replaced the bottom grills too freshen it up
And of course it had a detail but will never be happy  :happy2:

 A few pictures sorry I am crap at taking pictures.







At awesome having the remap

Painted the calipers today while it was a nice day. Sanded them down and removed the loose paint first. Come out well.
