Looks almost identical to my old GTI (except I didn't have those buckets  :sad1:)

Edition 30 splitter would look great. Have a look for @PND 's build thread, he had a lovely Shadow Blue GTI with some tasteful mods  :happy2:

Small update, the front tyres were looking a little low so i fitted some new rubber on them this weekend.
Had the dunlops recommended to me by a mate and i'm not disappointed, great wet and dry grip and not much road noise, well worth a look.




Next on this list will probably be retroo fitting the door warning lights. although i really want some xenons so will be keeping my eye out for a set........ :grin:

So i got some Gliptone leather care shampoo and condition at Christmas so decided to give the seats some treatment, and the got carried away  and ended up cleaning the whole car.................. :ashamed: pleased with how it all came out so got the SLR out and finally took some half decent pictures of the car.
