Thanks for the comments.

Been doing little bits to this recently mostly OEM Stuff.

Did the boot pop mod the other day which im pleased with, also fitted interior led lights which make the world of difference.

Also ordered these parts from the Main Dealer


which turned this...


into this..


I also shortened my plate recess..


Not sure whats next now also gave it a good clean yesterday and a wax, but went edition38 today so its now filthy again.

Currently saving for new wheels :) unless i book a remap in first!

Well haven't done much on this recently. Been trying to find some big brakes and get a stage 1 map but hasn't happened yet.

Went to players today and on way back, my brother took a few pictures of it how it currently sits. Desperately need wheels but going to try find some over winter for next year so may space out the standards for now.

Also just bought a highline dash, bit of a impulse buy so i now need to make sure its correct for my car its the 974 ones.
Need to find somewhere to install them, but i believe shark performance do it and are only 30 odd miles from me? anyone know a rough cost?

I like where this is going, smart touches fella  :happy2:

Always fancied a shorter plate - Are you likely to get hassle from the authorities over it?

Thanks for all the comments.

Regards to the plate, i ran it on my old car for about a year never had any issue, but its fully legal as i cut it down myself and followed the rules as to what size the boarder should be, think its like 12mm or so.

Not sure on wheels, would like some bentley splits, but may buy some Team Dynamic pro race 1.2's for winter unsure yet.

Id love 8 pots but my pockets aint deep enough  :sad1:

Well not much happened to this recently, with work/drinking and GTA taking over my life the cars been neglected...

Although these did turn up...


Which are...
Eta Beta Splits :)


So started splitting them down for a refurb...


Turns out they just went in the golf to get tyres removed. Unfortunately the fronts were shot, rears are good but are 265 so don't think I'll run them!


Got both front bolt less and center less just need to split the dishes I did read heating the wheel up helps but they didn't fit in the oven :(


So hopefully when I can find time where I'm not playing online GTA I'll get them split and find somewhere to powder coat them.
Anyone recommend anywhere near Lincoln? That isn't ultimate finish as I don't trust them.

Also have a DAB aerial sat at home to fit but haven't got round to it yet.

I think I'm going to go for white centers with gold bolts and silver barrels  :happy2:

Just finding the effort to get them split, still need to find a set of 15mm adaptors and best place to buy new bolts if anyone knows of anywhere good?

 Well this happened today  :grin:





Took me and my brother 2 days on the drive way to get it fitted.

Slight leak on one bag and the boot needs a false floor but to say im happy is a understatement  :jumping:

Was about half 5 when we finished tonight so will get my brother to take proper photos tomorrow  :smiley:
