So some goodies turned up...



10mm spacers on the front and 12mm at the back. Forgot to take before and after pics so have to use an old photo in a different angle  :stupid:

Before:


After:




Wheel sitting alot more flush and not so tucked in as they were.

Also as i said in an older post got my springs fitted the other week and got some better photos today of the car all washed and clean with the springs and spacers fitted.











Also got a Osir steering wheel badge to go with my paddle extentions and dsg gator

DSG gator isnt gloss like the paddles and the wheel badge but oh well  :drinking:

Next i need to eliminate a knocking i get at dead slow speed now its lowerd and just enjoy it for abit  :drinking:

Don't get caught using that snooper device as that's a prosecution in itself :signLOL:

Oh and don't forget to unplug it from the cigarette lighter as those things play havoc on certain channel frequencies on Satelite TV !!!!!!! Even with the keys out of the ignition.  :happy2:

Its only a detector so its not illegal, the jammers are what gets you nicked. I checked. Although in some countries the detectors are illegal, just not the uk as of yet. And I do say yet  :scared:

Got the rev g dv today ready to go on next week in preparation for my visit to r tech. Also got my ramair induction kit delivered this morning and had a free day so fitted it right away. Nice and easy other than the original hose running to the turbo intake... Couldn't get it off for a good 10 mins then gave it a big yank and it came off with me hitting my head on the bonnet  :mad:

Anyway looks good and sounds great. Not too loud when taking it easy but nice induction noise and dump when giving it some.

Pics to follow after I've cleaned the engine bay up abit as its got all kinds of muck on it at the moment.

 :happy2:

Good ride quality and a nice drop, can get over speed bumps no problem and less body roll  :driver:

Car passed its MOT today  :smiley: Also dropped the sump to inspect the pickup pipe as its never been done. Pickup pipe wasn't that bad (no pictures) but for the sake of 40 notes, we stuck a new oil pickup on it while the sump was off.

Then a new oil filter and millers nanodrive 5w40 and 2 new tyres and all ready for my trip   :driver:
