Got myself a mk6 rear badge as the original was a mess think it was a mk4 one put on slanted haha, also fit a non res milltek catback with the gt80 tips











Looks so much better with the gt80 tips, the sounds a big improvement too chuffed with it  :smiley:

Had the coilpack recall done as well and bought some new wheels

3sdm 0.05s  :grin: always loved these wheels and think they suit the mk5







Cars in major need of some lows now but don't know weather to go springs or coilovers.

Gonna be having the car remapped soon at a local company called ADE Tuning, custom map with before and after rolling roads

If anybody in the northwest is thinking of having a remap we've got a group buy going at a great price

Looks good mate
Personally I'd say go for coilovers I don't think springs go low enough for the wheels
I run pretty low with those wheels a bit of camber in the rear and rolled wings up front and your golden

Gave the car a snow foam and wax polish at weekend and ive changed my mind on the remap as car is going in new year and i dont want the extra expense of having to change the clutch





Also cleaned the engine bay



And fitted these stickers its all about the small touchs
