Cheers.

It's standard bar the autotech cai, occ and a forge spacer.

Plans are to jump straight to stage 2 rather than mess about inbetween.

It is a toyosports (wellycooler). Not been seen one done on a mk2 yet and don't fancy paying the 500-700 price tag that the tfsi ones are, especially when there hidden between 2 rads. Ok they flow well but tests have proven these flow just as good and better in some tests. I like to be different ;) and once it's fitted and the pipes made the plan is to make some extra pipes up to offer as a cheaper alternative.

Take the wheels, 8.5x18 et25. A fair few said the offset was to low but there on and once lowered will give the look I'm after......I hope :)

Few things to do yet still:

Smooth rear badge recess
Wheel refurb & colour change
Coilovers
3" decat downpipe
Bcs 3" system
Stage 2 map

Maybe a few other bits along the way.
