Thanks mate, may have to purchase. hows the installation? pretty easy?

Installation of the fiscon is easy - took me all of 15 mins!
Headunit out, piggyback the wiring, run the mic upto the light unit and refit headunit
Easy as that!

Just read through the entire thread. I really like the mods you have done, the lower half of the car along with the standard Black bumper works really well.

Had a break from playing with the Golf due to spending loads of time away in our 1970 EarlyBay Camper - been all over Europe and the UK over the summer having a ball
Happy to say the GTI is doing fine - still purring away happily and being driven hard (where appropriate)
Just ticked over 172500 miles and has just been washed, polished and waxed in some nice Bilt Hamber so trying to keep the car nice and clean

Glad to hear you've had such a cool summer break buddy, sounds epic!

The Golf did look lovely when I passed you yesterday, made me feel guilty about the neglect mines had recently!

Cheers for the positive comments fellas - the car is still putting a smile on my face nearly every drive!
Treated it to a good wash and wax so should stay fresh in the crap weather
Got its annual service coming up soon with a brake fluid change so should have a nice clean bill of health for the winter!
BigNod - your motor didnt look neglected!
Cant wait to have a good look around it at some point - must be absolutely rapid

Apologies for not updating more recently however just been enjoying the car
No issues or further mods so far - due a service in a couple of months

Now ticked over 174k and will be hitting 175k this month
Gave the car a nice bath last weekend and still comes up lovely

Will be getting new tyres soon but am planning a 6 month trip to the Falklands at the end of the year so wont be getting much driving done then!!

Hi mate.,

Lovely looking candy White Gti! What size is your front number plate ?

StuF · « **Reply #144 on:** April 01, 2016, 04:03:28 pm »

Afternoon all

Been a busy week with the motor - checked the tyres on the car last weekend and noticed the fronts were a little past their best!!

So I decided to order a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy 3's from F1 Autocentre here in Lincoln
Manged to get a set of 4 fitted and balanced for under £400 which I was happy with.

No real comments so far after a single day of driving other than its nice to be "legal" again

Also passed another milestone on the way to work

Almost 12 months to the day since I passed 170k and still going strong - so basically I managed 5k a year although that will be significantly reduced this year as I am heading off to the Falklands for 6months in Sept

Car needs a good wash and polish so will get some decent pics of the fresh rubber when its clean!

Mark - the front number plate is a little smaller than it should be, cant remember the exact size although it is an ebay special and held on with magnets
Do a search on ebay for short metal pressed plates and it should appear

Gave the car some love today
Nice wash and wax and took some pics
Not too shabby considering the mileage the old girl has covered

Snow foam as a pre wash then followed by some megs shampoo then onto a little wax
Bodywork isnt perfect but is acceptable for me considering
