so latest bits and bobs, found a hairline crack in one of the wheels so took that to be welded up bit of a ball ache but needs must, then dropped the car off at VW in Barnsley to have the new wings, they even blew in the front doors for me , top job very happy with it!

Then i painted the 2 front strips myself and came out pretty sweet



Then i came to sort out the hot start fault id be having trouble with, there where 3 options, new battery and stater motor about £150 if fitted my myself, take the car to a remap place quotes £120 + vat or buy an ebay MPPS and have a bash myself £20

So i ordered the MPPS , read the map from the car, checked a few guides on how to find the start maps, copied the info from the cold map to the hot map, wrote it to the car and she has ran like a dream ever since!


Now trying to source parts for a gti/jetta front end and a rear bumper as mine as a crack in it, still havent fitted the leathers but ill get around too it haha
