WOW, thanks for all the comments guys, they are Very much Appreciated!!!!

@xjay1337  haha no probs lad a wee sneaky preview never hurt anyone and Jairm seems a top bloke!!

@Dave7692   its just a 1.9TDI but once all the prettiness takes place I will start to the horsepower side of things.  the headunit uses apps on your phone linked to the unit itself and comes with a GPS antenna but the phone needs to be connected so im not 100% sure, no mods needed just plug and play with separate power lead/handbrake override needing pliumbed in and ur away!!!

@Zseth   no up to date pics just yet but picking up a few parts from VW tomorrow and dropping them off with the painter so will grab a couple then!! lol!!

@Mk5_Jim   hahaha well ive owned the car a year and a half now so a slow burner to begin with but now yeah its kinda got outta hand!! lol!!!

@JaseGti   the UK lights are Red fog light on drivers side, and the US lights are Red fog on OUR passenger side, so when you put a US Spec fog light in the tailgate all your rear lights will have the look of Red outer Circles with Clear Inner Circles!!  :happy2:
