So today got my car fully serviced including DSG, which was nice to get done for peace of mind. Also got a nice wee list of things needing done.
Timing chain, which I knew about from the taxi sound from the engine! They also said that it would be worth while doing the timing belt and water pump all at the same time. At the cost of £750 though!! So won't be doing this straight away.
Also the evap canister is full? So this needs changed at a cost of £130, might do this myself though. Seems pretty straight forward, so should be capable to do this with my limited knowledge and skill.
Front tyres needing replaced soon, have tyres to put on though, so this saves me a bit of cash.
So it's going to be a long a slow process to get the car where I want it to be.
Little thing I did today was change the screw over in the front number plate.
Not really that exciting but it was something that was annoying me. Looks a little better.
So plans are:
Moving the front number plate to under one of the headlights. Probably on a 4x4 square plate. Going to get the front grille filled on from the number plate holes. Undecided wether to get it Matt black or get it wrapped on gloss carbon.
Mk6 rear badge fitted. And maybe painted along with the front badge.
Need a new front gti badge, have a red one but it doesn't fit.
Get my wheels refurbed again! This will be anthracite Matt again.
New rear valance to could code with the car.
Going to get the rear lights and possibly headlights tinted. Along with the wing mirror indicators.
Performance wise I'm still insure. Being on here makes it very temping to get so much done! But money is pretty tight at the moment so don't want to start getting serious tuning done any time soon.
Any suggestion on any mods would be appreciated. I'm pretty new to this and I'm pretty clueless tbh.
