Just an update.
The car is doing Ultimate dubs in March, then going back to sort of standard and being sold on.
All mods are coming off, but most have been dibsed already.
Sad to do it, as still love the car, new house and child is preventing me keeping up in the modding stakes with the big guns of the MK5 world, and a 40 miles a day to work and back hammers the petrol consumption, so onto a diesel.
