Looking good

I think that is possibly the first "murdered out" ED30

lol - cheers Hurdy! Not sure if that's quite the look I was going for but I will take it as a compliment!! 
I do like the idea of a full matte wrap 

very nice motor liking the front grill, didnt notice that before did you have to plastic weld or anything?

oh and it was nice to meet you couple of weeks back, but no more 95ron pleasE!! 

Really like what you've done so far! 

Very subtle and stealthy!

Cheers guys - glad you like 
@ NB07 - Strictly been on V Power since the Surrey RR! 
@ Greenouse - your car was the inspiration for the brakes (not yet fitted) and the different colour splitter 

Hi All - thought I better update my build thread as I've been neglecting it for too long!
Here's a quick pick of the car as it is now:




I finally got around to washing, polishing and waxing it after getting inspiration from the detailing section  
Since going Revo Stage1, it's had an S3 intercooler, twintercooler, S3 brakes all round, Autotech HPFP, Forge Twintake, WALK, Eibach ARBs front and rear, Resonated Milltek TBE, Koni FSDs and is now Revo ST2+



Still to come is fitting Hurdy's beautiful sub box and amp. I've also got Rainbow components for the doors which will all be fitted leading up to Xmas - along with sound-proofing all over .
That's all for now folks - hope you like  

Very nice... id like your mods on my car please!!

My car also is RE07.... 

Cheers! 
I'd like you to take some pics of my car please! I had one of your pics as my wallpaper! 
RE07s rule! (even though I'm on a diff plate now, that's the one it was born with )

Are your 'R' pads black? Paint them yourself?

Love the look. The lip works well with the rims.

The 'R' caliper pad springs were bought off Beddie (I think you can also get them off ebay) and they only come in black. The brakes are S3 ones (same as the Golf R) so now with the springs they are effectively Golf R brakes

Easy to colour the splitter black on a light car, but tricky to make it look good on a black car!

Your calipers look a slightly different shape to mine.. yours have a tail on either end!

I thought the R pads were only blue?

Yeah the S3/Golf R calipers are a different shape to the Cupra/R32 ones - not sure why but they use the same discs and pads so not sure why they are a different shape  .

Looking really good , nice work on all the mods too
