Mate loved the rotiforms. Pics just don't do them justice!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I think the feeling was mutual amongst most people as they got loads of attention  :drool:

Was, changed my mind, just keeping them for show wheels (even though my car is nowhere near being a show car)

Another update, it's getting too cold to really do much on the car now, but what has happened to it over about the last month or so:
(more crappy pics, will be finding a nice location and getting some good ones sorted...promise!)
Bigger pic of the fantastic forge twintake and R8 oil cap:


Winter wheels:
18" CH's,very nice they are too:


New MK6 rear badge courtesy of Hibs, and rabbit badge courtesy of Wayne:
(bit of a lopsided pic)


And the best saved for last:



So so comfy!!!

Fantastic R32 recaros, from a MK5 R32 that crashed after 2700 miles, seats and bolsters are pretty much mint, though very cold in winter.
Got plans to have something special done to these,not quite sure what though. (also, trying to decide what I could do to cover the R logo on the headrest? Suggestions?)

Going into garage soon for possible new brakes, and FK suspension, (get a nice drop on the car then) and Possible Revo stage 2.

Looking good Al!!

Liking the matt grille, might do that on mine come spring.

Iv got a set of seat covers from my old van in the garage, that'll cover up the R emblem nicely!   :grin:

It's been a long time since you've updated, but i must say it's be worthwile. I ust love the seats and they look as new  :happy2:
If you are unhappy with the .:R logo on the seats i have a set of ED30 we can switch with   :laugh: i'm so envy of those  :drool:
Looks good overall so some big  :happy2:  :happy2: from Denmark

Also i've just fitted a Twintake myself, only time will tell if i can get used to it  :smiley:

Over the top mod list ;o)

love the progress of this car, i had same Recaros in my MK5 R32 and i agree sooo comfy, yours should be heated  :wink:

cant belive how much the MK6 badge makes a difference, mines been sitting in the box for weeks, too cold to fit it though lol

.
You'll find those Recaro's so comfy that you'll soon forget the .:R logo. Anyway, only the best people have .:R logos on their Recaro's  :wink:

Glad to hear you like your Twintake too  :notworthy:   :happy2:
