I finally got my baby back tonight, with the body repairs and a full service and a new battery...costly bitch but I still love her! I'm amazed, she was a little lumpy before hand but the new battery has smoothed it out. Plus the bodywork where I hit the cone is almost perfect!

Gave her a first clean having had her back. Only a little clean to get rid of the dust...



Nice to have her back  :happy2:

More little things...

I got fed up on seeing the gap where there should be something in my cup holder slot ...So I ordered the bottle opener/divider. Little things like that annoyed me so I'm now content!  :happy2:




Excuse the dirty cup holder...


Lows...

Finally got round to ordering my springs, I was going to go coilovers however the ones in my price range would sacrifice a lot of ride comfort, seen as its my daily I didn't want to ruin that! So I found these springs on eBay. 40mm lowering I felt would be enough. Cant wait to get these fitted!

Cars looking sound matey.  :happy2:   I myself soon got the modding bug after getting my GT. (Check out my build thread)  kinda at a standstill now though, not sure where I want to go next,  You any idea how much a forge blow off valve is?  You got any other performance mods planned?   I'm was thinking maybe getting mine Revo mapped, stainless steel down pipe, sports cat.

Thanks mate! It was so much more affordable in my case then a GTI, only reason I changed the front end was because I liked the red pinstripe and the honeycomb grills! Need to make up a holder to get the GT badge on the front again. The Forge blow off valves for ours (assuming yours is petrol) are around £200.

See attached link: http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/Blow_Off_Valve_and_Kit_for_Audi_VW_SEAT_and_Skoda_TSI_14_Twincharged_Engines--product--760.html

I really want one for mine, but I want some CH reps more  :laugh:

iPod connection...

When I purchased my headunit I was that exited to fit it I didn't bother really employing any of the other connections. I then found my old iPod touch and though it was about time I fitted the lead, so out she came again! I love how easy the head units on these are to remove! Took me a little bit of fiddling, but I managed to feed the wire through to the glove box to allow me to leave it in there and forget about it! Dead chuffed as it had a load of my old songs from my collage years  :jumping:

Lows take two...

Having given up fitting them myself I decided to pay a mate in a garage to do it for me...

As she stands now


After 40mm springs fitted:



I am so happy with the springs, they gave me the drop I was after and didn't sacrifice too much ride comfort, I would love to go lower but I don't want to ruin the ride. Its so much better in the corners as well!  :evilgrin:

Clean...

Gave the girl a good wash and polish! I love this snow foam, DemonShine Snow Foam, I find it works really well breaking down the dirt, then giving me a chance to get in there with a mitt and Turtle Wax Wash'n'wax before rinsing off with a shammy.













I love my Karcher, definite the best £80 ish I'v spent!  :happy2:

It's been a while since I updated with anything, have literally just moved house with my folks so plans for the car have been put on hold recently!

On the bright side I did manage to get my DRL's activated when I had the service reminder reset

And she looks pretty good today...taken via my kitchen window...

Finally got my cruise control and multi function wheel coded in! So chuffed with these mods - I have a lot of road trips coming up so these will make a lot of difference!
