Could have been a great excuse to stick some S3 /R32 brakes on there Stu  :signLOL:

Yep - I know  :grin:

I will get there in the end! That's what I am saving up for next!

May be selling my S3 brakes shortly if car doesn't sell as is  :wink:

Happy days - give me a pm if you decide to remove them, think they are an excellent upgrade  :happy2:

Cheers Batfink - the plastidip paint is very robust stuff!

Today I decided to install a shiny stainless steel ashtray instead of the open cubby that was there before.
The car has never been and never will be smoked in however I wanted a bit more bling so in came my eBay bargain!

As it was with the open cubby and 12v supply



And now with the nice shiny lid installed



I have also transferred the 12v power supply across from the old one so I can still charge the phone and so on!
Easy and quick mod that adds a little more the interior  :happy2:

Well today despite the rain and generally foul weather I decided to fit my smooth front end.
I have spent the week carefully attaching Neodymium magnets to the rear of the grille and metal plate
Now that it is all dried and solid I cracked on and installed it.

Before pics with my old front end and plate with holder


New US style smooth grille with magnets stuck on the inside edge

 



All clipped and screwed into place





New (slightly naughty) front no plate



And again all installed

Cheers mate - not too sure of their strength rating but the dont half work!
Have been out and tested the plate upto and beyond 70mph (on my private runway) without it coming loose

Here is a link to the ones I bought

I dont think the front one conforms on two issues - the font is german type and the size is slightly smaller than normal
However I ran an identical setup on my old GTI for 2 years without any issues so fingers crossed it will go unnoticed!  :ashamed:

It should improve your shifting. Good addition but when I searched it, it wasn't cheap. You probably got it for a great price. :laugh:

Took me 20mins to swap out the shifter for a shiny new one

For comparison - old plastic one vs new metal one



Have a lovely tight action now  :drool:
