Thank you for the photos @Tracey :) great weekend and really enjoyed the show, standard of show and cars at it gets better and better each year. Hope you enjoyed it?

Yeah the standard this year for MK5 was insane! It was a good weekend! Its a real pity theres nothing else like dubshed's standards in Ireland

Give it time and it may grow, some great looking cars there who made the trip from down south on display. Fair play to all who made the trip up.

I don't sorry, your VW dealer should be able to look it up for you, as far as I know you can buy touch up pens and maybe get the paint code from that?

Hi any update on this ?

[Wayne D]

Hi buddy,

No up dates as such no. Only minor change has been a small 5mm spacer on the rear wheels to push them out a little. Other than that, just enjoying it and keeping it clean. Booking it in for a service within the next week or two, just for a regular service and check over.

Maybe considering an air intake of some sort, I'm not sure as the car maybe for sale towards the end of the year. I may need to make the move to the dark side (diesel) with work commitments. I'll know towards the end of the summer.

Few more recent pictures:

Looks tremendous!

Can't you have both worlds? Petrol and diesel?

Cheers mate, yeah I really do love it myself.

Yeah wouldn't rule out keeping the Pirelli and getting a cheap diesel daily. It would mean I could keep the Pirelli, keep the miles off it and enjoy cheap motoring and good mpg with a run about.

Bit of an update on the Pirelli, after seeing Bens black Edition 30 at Castlewellan GTI show, it put me in the notion of an induction kit for my car. I thought it looked awesome and really made the engine bay look more purposeful. :) I decided to go with the Ramair kit, read some reviews and they seem great value for money.


Few before and after pictures:



Ramair induction kit and new TTS engine cover to replace the standard cover:

























Had a quick run out earlier and sounds good in lower gears, don't know if I'd say it's any quicker or not. May just be my imagination because it sounds louder. Lol I'll keep you posted.



TTS engine cover is a work in progress, I'll remove the Audi rings and try to make it a bit more VW OEM.

Sadly the time has come to sell on my Pirelli edition, its been a great year of ownership and I've loved having it. Work commitments mean I will require a diesel daily from the new year onwards.

The car is located in Northern Ireland, approx 45 minutes form all airports and harbours and I would be willing to help meet up with any buyers from the mainland.

Thanks

Hi All. I am looking for same centre caps. Tried ringing my local dealer they haven't got a clue. Therefore, could someone kindly point me to the right garage to purchase these same ones. Cheers.
