Wow, there's some serious nice work gone on there .  Have you any detailed build threads on any other forums, would love to have a read on some of these in more detail. 

[scottthurlow]

unfortunately not.
i can do mini build details for each car i've owned if it of interest to people?
probably not for all as i've had a fair few, but the lupo, a4 and golf's at least.

The A4 hasn't been a cover car for Performance VW has it? Looks very familiar...

its had a few shoots for mags but never cover stuff.

[th3_f15t]

Fair enough. All the modifications work perfectly together, very impressive stuff. If I get an A4 work horse, I'll definitely be annoying you for more info on yours to help me with mine!

Looking at your plans for Jay's old GTI, there's a nice set of Porsche 6 piston brakes and a few K04 turbos knocking about in the classifieds section right now. Few more posts and you'll be able to PM...

How come you got rid of the red GTI? Looks like a proper weapon!

Loved this car and cant wait to see the few mods done to it! Loved the Gti and the A4

i fancied a new project, it has only gone to a mate down the road from me so i see it all the time anyway.
it is a weapon, not much kept up with it.

thanks - the a4 was probably my fav looking car, and the mk5 for fun, speed, power etc.
looking forward to putting my stamp on this one.
