Finished my grills off today. It's mad how such a tiny bit of chrome makes such a difference! Looks so mean. Also taken my wheels off again to re - clean ready for All Types Vw show. Cleaned all the arches and underneath too. Hope you all like

Had a few professional shots of the Jetta at All Types Vw show this weekend. Some great shots by a young photographer! Hope you like.

Some bad news for me and the Jetta the other day.... I think the head gasket is on it's way out. Will be 100% certain when I get it MOT'D on the 5th of June. So gutted if it is! Plus I've had to out it back to the height it was because it developed an unusual noise

Uh oh, did you find out at the MOT?
Check your drive shafts, it could have been to low and may need the notch.

No -It's been leaking fluid for a while and we couldn't find a leak. I've changed the timing belt and water pump, EGR delete and EGR cooler delete to see if was anything to do with them - But still leaking :(. Going to try Steel Seal and see if it'll last till Christmas, as that's when I get my bonus and will be able to get it done.

On a plus note..... The Jetta passed  it's MOT with flying colours :).

Also - I've lowered it a little more than what it was when I highers it, and no noise has appeared :)

Got myself some genuine GTI headlights off a guy I know. Really happy with how much meaner the front end looks. Also - It's  even more stealth . Fitted them myself too, which was quite easy and took about 90 minutes in total.

Hope you all like

Phillips - Thanks a lot :)

Stanipkiss - I'm going to wait and see, but my girlfriend loves the carbon wrap, haha. I've actually wrapped one side in carbon, I'll post a picture now :).

Hope you don't put that steel seal rubbish in... will do infinetly more harm than good.
If it is the headgasket have it replaced properly.  If it's the porous head problem then you're screwed either way lol

What exactly is the porous head problem? I am planning on having it replaced properly, but don't have the spare money until Christmas when I get my bonus. It was just a stop gap to stop it from losing stupid amounts of coolant that it is :(
