So cleaned the car yesterday and managed to pull all these out the bottom of the drivers wing  :sad1: wings will be coming off soon to give them a proper scrub underneath!!



Mrs bought me a new Edition 30 badge for Christmas  :love:

Old one was battered, someone had decided to paint it with nail varnish by looks of it  :stupid:



New one  :happy2:



Just need to get a new GTI rear badge and the VW boot flip badge too!


Updates this evening on the brakes hopefully  :party:

Now the good bits, calipers have had a full rebuild, fresh pistons, seals and the discs skimmed!









Test fitted the brakes and seems like they will just about fit behind the standard Pescaras (360mm discs) so will hopefully get them on over the new few weeks  :happy2:





Also got the US running lights coded in   :smiley:



Also got confirmation that some of the other parts I ordered are on route  :happy2:

So fitted the drivers and passenger side engine mounts at the weekend, pretty easy job. They do cause a lot of vibrations but feels like a totally different car now, difference is unreal! Just need go fit the rear dogbone mount this weekend....







Also got myself some Toyo R1R to replace the front tyres as they are almost dead, will swap the rears out too at some point....heard some good reviews so can't wait to get them on!



More to follow at the weekend ;)
