Thanks mate, car would never be at the standard it is without Lukes hard work.

Regards the wheels, I am on the lookout at the moment, trying to get a set off fifteen52 as loving what they are coming up with at the moment, and very few sets in the  UK at the moment  :grin: :drool:

Inpro smoked indicators fitted today, not too much difference to normal looking at the pics, but you can see the difference in person.
And think that I will get my mirrors wrapped black and this will compliment them nicely.

No real updates lately, not been doing too much to it, Have some R32 front brakes to go on soon, And sorting out a US spec rear bumper.

Another trophy from Detailed bash yesterday  :star: :pomppomp:

I got mine from tmtuning.

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

Cheers stealthwolf  :happy2: - checked the site but they are currently out of stock. I'll drop them an email to find out when/if they'll get more in.

Thanks mate, has taken me ages to get it anywhere near this (as you would see from when I started this build thread with the most bog standard of MK5's!  :laugh:)

She is very proud of her VW family and history, and think she is talking herself into some big spending on the Lupo so that it can come to the shows too.
Was nice to meet you both on Sunday, hope to see you at more shows in the future!

Well done again Al  :congrats:

Well done to you too Sarah, it was nice  to see you get an award that looks as good as the interior that won it.
Sure there will be more to come, and can't wait to see all your ideas come to life.  :happy2:
