Got round to test fitting the new front bumper today:



Took my basically all day to sort this out but glad its out of the way and done now, just needs to be re sprayed and then I can fit it properly. Will eventually get the front fog lights and have them wired in. But i wouldnt have a clue how to do that, so would seek some expert help. But for now thats it.

Took a lot longer than imagined today to change the rear valance. But well worth the effort in my opinion. In talks with Darkside at the moment for an exhaust system and EGR delete so the empty gap of the GTi valance will get filled when their new garage is opened!

Another update, front bumper went on today, well please with it! Matte black smoothed grill with magnet number plate!





Also another little purchase from Awsome GTi!



Made a trip to a fellow members place the other day to pick this set up, up! GTi Brakes, with 312mm disks aswell. Will fit these after I've been to darkside hopefully.

Car got a quick once over at work today, happy with how its looking at the moment. Got some interior LEDs on the way. Still a few things left that I want to do but happy with the progress.







Future plans are:

•   Exhaust System  (Darkside)
•   Remap (Darkside)
•   GTi Side Skirts
•   Coilovers
•   Pressed plates
•   Fog lights
•   R32/ED30 rear lights
•   GTi front lights
•   GTi Break upgrade- unsure on caliper colour (thinking green)

Think that should take me a while to get all in place, happy with how its looking at the moment though!

Picked up a set of ED30 rear lights from a fellow forum member yesterday, good to meet a few people and put faces to names, here they are:



Half Way though fitting:



And finished:



Think the rear is looking pretty much how I want it too now. Just need to get the exhaust put on, this however can only be done when darkside finish their renovations. Considering pasti dipper the lower part of the rear valance but undecided,

Rear is looking mean, some tints and I think you're set. Maybe a little bit of smoke on the lights to emphasise the rest of the black parts ?
