Its been quite some time since i last posted an update here, I have just been Non-stop saving over the summer so all of the small car parts have been put on hold. it was finally time to have the airlift treatment installed to the golf. The install was done by the boys over at Plush Automotive who have done a fantastic job, if you have any work that needs doing get in contact with them one of the best in the business.  :drinking:



It was their first install of the new Airlift Performance 3P Management system, this is paired with Airlifts performance struts/ and a 5 gallon tank. was excited to see what they would do with the new shaped control panel blending it into the Cigarette lighter compartment. the new Panel is also trimmed in Alcantara and fits like a glove. :popcornsoda:



I will get some photos up at some point of the boot build. I wanted a simple half sunk tank Build for the moment, until some future plans develop.  :grin: :grin: :grin:



Absolutely over the moon with the result, and I'm really looking forward to the summer months next year already
Next on the shopping list is an Edition30 Splitter if anyone has one for sale give me a shout. Then its on to UltimateDubs in March so i might see a few of you there!
