When it was in at Darkside they said one of my rear shocks was very slightly leaking. As they are all still original with 160k on them I shall change them all in 1 hit. So they have been ordered this morning.

Also today I am going to order a Whiteline front and rear anti roll bar with there adjustable drop links and anti lift kit.

Then it can all be fitted when I have my 310mm rear brake upgrade

[shaunnorris7]

Slight change of plan. For now I have opted to keep my current rear calipers and just freshen then up with matching Tarox discs and pads.

Still on the look out for the 310mm rear calipers and carriers..

Oh and did I mention wingbacks

Santa came early and unloaded his sack in my garage lol..







Tarox 310mm vented rear discs to match the fronts (just need to get some calipers and carriers now).
Whiteline rear anti roll bar with there heavy duty drop links and anti link kit

FINALLY got me an armrest. With an ED30 handbrake cover. Fitted today with not much trouble.

Least I can finally cross it off my list.

Anti roll bars, anti lift kit, rear shocks and rear brakes will go on next year now.

Small update (photos to follow).

Finally got all my Whiteline bits fitted today, car feels great and it's lovely to not hear anything now whilst steering is on full lock

[Andy]

The consule bushs make the steering feel a lot better

R32 rear calipers and carriers finally sorted!! Will send off with fronts to be refurbed in the matching red with ceramic protection finish then I can finally get my matching rear discs on.

Getting married next Friday so will all be done after that now...

congrats and hope all goes well on the happy day

All married now so I thought what better way to celebrate than to spend some more money on the car 

Helio's dropped off today for full Refurb.

Front bumper with ED30 splitter dropped off at body shop.

Booked in for audio upgrade on Thursday 5th May!!

In the mean time I need to get some little bits sorted. Need a new boot seal and boot trim. Replacement centre console vent top section and arm rest insert.

[shaunnorris7]

A lot more progress over the next few weeks..

When I get my rear calipers back from being refurbed, they'll be fitted with matching Tarox discs/pads and new rear shocks and my freshened up Helio's which I'm collecting start of next week.

Managed to pick up a new centre vent section as the slats on mine are broken, brand new boot seal and trim panel as mine is cracked and it can all be done when the custom sub box is being installed.

Not heard anything back about my bumper yet but will get all the above sorted first as the car will probably have to go in for a couple of days as there's some other bits I'm getting tidied up.


Does anyone know if it is possible to fit a R32 rear valance (black bit ONLY) to a GTI bumper. IE keeping the smoothness of the GTI but having 2 central exhausts?
