Hey dazza, what do you mean with oval fitting? I just checked them. The fronts have indeed 2 clips wich can be removed. But I have round clips in my car. Is there a difference in them??

Older cars like mine have an oval anchor like the pic below.
I've just sent them an email so fingers crossed.

Love where this car is heading  I really want those mats but don't think they made them in RHD 

There are some copy RHD mats available not sure on the piping on the outside though.

They responded quickly

Unfortunately, we only send in Netherlands 

@ dazza : If you want the mats, I will hear how much it would cost to send them to you
I found also out that they sell the ovale clips separate. So If you're  interrested give me a shout

Thanks for the offer mate. I have asked them if i can arrange my own delivery with my DHL account.

Yes other bits & bats are coming togheter



Now waiting for LOBA & CTS PARTS

The Tyrolsport deadset rigid subframe collar kit is one of my future mods. So far I haven't felt the need to install them.

Yes today is a great Day!!
Also got another package this afternoon!
Pics will follow later this evening.

Also got a nice phonecall  from the Netherlands!
CTS stuff has also arrived 
Will go collect tomorrow!

@ ShoDuchi :
After reading your thread we have the same thinking   I decided to go for Porsche
It's a great braking system! Had it mounted on the Rallye and it was phenomenal!! So you got me thinking and thanks to give me inspiration  to go back to my roots!

You'll like the brakes. I also got the rears from the R32 using the TRW references. Much cheaper ordered from the ebay.

R32 TRW references:
-Caliper carrier rear left -> TRW BDA690
-Caliper carrier rear right -> TRW BDA691
-Caliper rear left -> TRW BHS938
-Caliper rear right -> TRW BHS939

As promised:
Wonder what's in here





CTS stuf is for next week. Don't have time today.
There is something like wife & kiddo who also need some attention sometimes

@Shoduchi : Thanks mate will take a look on that too! I looked for Bosch & Ate but TRW I didn't know of! 

That looks like a UPS delivery lol

TRW makes the rear calipers of all Golfs mk5/mk6, AFAIK. Most likely it makes more generations as well.

@Shoduchi : 

Another package arrived today







Now H&R anti rollbars and SuperPro are next to be. If I'm lucky I'll have the rollbars before the end of the week. SuperPro stuff is still not in stock by my German suplier So further waiting there.
In the meanwhile I've made an appointment with a doctor so step 1 is to clean the intake and 2nd to put it on the rollers. Curious what it'll give after 50.000km completely standard?!
That's about it for today

Your list of parts is really impressive display of parts.

Can you make a list of them? I'm not familiar with the name of some of them.

I had a really big pile of parts and I made 200 miles (320 km) to my mechanic's shop with the car almost completely full.

I remember well wanting to have all of them fitted as soon as possible to see their improvements.

Where did you get these grills from? I want to get a set but most of the cheaper options don't have the air duct/diffuser parts, for the brakes, mounted to the back of the grill.


What engine pan is that?

@ ShoDuchi : Ok mate will do that I'll do it next weekend! Because it's a huge list!

@tommygti : The front air ducts are original VW parts. I'll post the nr's next weekend.
The second picture is not an oil pan but a Golf Bluemotion rear axle lining. It improves the aërodynamics of the car. It sits right behind the fuel tank.
There is an exelent review of it in ShoDuchi 's build thread! The original vw nr's are also mentioned.
Hope it helped  a bit
