Has Jairm let you know RE the material? He said you hadn't replied to his message. 

and thank you THEDGM

Couple of pics for now.

Not had a message i dont think! Il fire one over his way

[xjay1337]

Cheers everyone.

Jonny - Ahaha that was my best effort at parking as well! 
Joe - Yeah, the material arrived but it's not the right stuff for the radio surround, as it was the right kind of material for retrimming. it can't be guaranteed it's the right material until it arrives and it can be checked :(  Trying to source another suitable material  do it once, do it properly, all that sort of stuff.

Is it really on standard suspension or just got air in bags 

[xjay1337]

Yes Footwell lights standard on GTI and other cars from SE upwards I believe - Not sure about sport though. My old TDI had them

[Matt112]

So, why you been removed from edition mate? ha ha

[doylebros]

Well first chance I've had to read your thread xjay - what can I say other than you seemed to of enjoyed all the hard-work,whilst having fun under taking it, which isn't detectable in many other threads.

You seemed to have endless energy for the challenges you presented yourself with, whilst never leaving out your attention too detail.

If I was younger I would be aspiring to copy your build thread!

thanks mate.  
yes it's all been a challenge really that's what building a car is about. nothing's ever easy and you just have to stand up and deal with it and enjoy everything, even if things break haha
 

So, why you been removed from edition mate? ha ha

The mods just banned me because they didn't like me.
Doesn't matter to me really. It was just banter.  
In a photoshop thread I did something which is apparently NFSW.. drew with MS paint a really crap and really tiny, crap comedy penis on a picture of Michelle Keegan or whatever her name is and Cheryl Cole.

Got these through today only took 4 weeks!!!

[edewer]

followed you from Thatcham into town the other day (In the mrs car). She couldn't understand the concept of air haha!

picked up mine today. interior is up to standards, but the outside is horrific. flat spots, evil bird mess marks, the lot! needs some serious machine work!!
