Must say.. I've taking a lot more of a liking to silver paint with purple wheels :smiley: :happy2: Good colour and wheel choice in my opinion

O no you didn't?!!!  :drool:

I did indeed!  :surprised:

Those seats are beautiful. Very comfy too!

Yeah man not too bad!

I saw you enquiring about these!

Such nice seats!!
Yeah I didn't buy them from him.

Awesome seats. They are really comfortable but a bitch to get out of! Is your steering wheel really shiny? Get it cleaned!  :grin:

It's just old.
Been cleaned and conditioned already.
It's all getting retrimmed soon so I can live with it :)

Where was the road trip to?  :party:

Nice to see a GTI owner doing a proper road trip  :laugh:

Blackburn! Long.com
And sorry to disappoint you, Jairm drove, as it's half the price in fuel and my boot is full of air ride and the seats would have crushed the tank!

Jay, can you let me know what sort of money Lemass would charge to do the rear bumper lower section painted like yours?

Mines a little scuffed and think it'd really improve the look!

best bet to give them a call mate.. I paid for everything in one go so don't know how much the individual part would be.

Awesome ! My dream seats !!

Lol yeah funny sometimes you think you'd never get some and then a few years later you can, something to aim towards?

Nice seats mate,  :happy2: I'd love a set of these   :drool:

Cheers  :happy2:

Any new pics Jay?  :party:

Not really lol  :mad:
Been/am very busy doing other things at the moment don't really have time for pictures :(

Car is looking unreal in the sig jay! Can't wait to drool all over it at UD!   :party:

Cheers man. yeah hopefully see you there  :chicken:

Beautiful seats! We'll worth the journey. Looking forward to seeing the car at the weekend   :happy2:

Defo worth the journey!
Yeah see you at the weekend :)

In other news, I managed to break 2 of the ride height sensors for the E-level (both fronts!!!).
Technically I didn't break it, crap design from Accuair meant a threaded shaft corrodes and snaps... easy enough to fix.. one side fixed by welding 2 bolts together and using lock nuts and the other side replaced later with a genuine accuair bit. Planning to change everything to stainless steel rather than steel bolts and alloy threaded shaft...

Got leaky DSG oil from the filter housing so tomorrow it's going in for a replacement filter housing along with new genuine filter and oil.. (for the second time in my ownership, albeit the first time wasn't genuine oil so probably a good thing)  and my amp packed up... it was used and £30 so what do I expect really.
Jairm had one laying around and he was able to replace it easily which meant I had bass again... which is good!


And thanks to my partner in forum administration Alex for a decent GTI rear bench and his tools for fitting them.
As these recaros are heated I also got a heated climate panel from Rizzlekicks83 so now all I need is the heated seat loom thing!

Hey man
Nice to meet you at UD once again.
As mentioned :) engine is standard for now.. intake, exhaust and stage 2 mapping on the cars but no real urge for lots of power, simply don't drive it very hard. It's pokey enough standard :)

Man I knew you were OCD about your paintwork, but reading through the entire thread makes me think you have a problem...at first...now I'm just jealous that I don't have your patience!
When I get the Jetta, you may need to give me a tip or two about maintenance and paint upkeep!
