Just a small detail like that black splitter makes a whole difference. The white shape that's left makes your car look much more aggressive.

Although I'm choosing OZ LeggyRita's for my throbbin' red one, I do think that your TD's have that 'track funky' look on your car.

:notworthy:

 :happy2: mine does do track days and it also fits with the look i am after for the car as once we get a brand new car in the next few years the car will be stripped out of everything and have a full cage installed and be my track toy  :evilgrin:

I look forward to reading all about your Mk5 track toy conversion one day - I expect we'll both still be on this forum in a few years time!

Black splitter really does add to the car  :happy2:

Think I'm going to get the front and rear done like on Phylis above   :smiley:

Update  :rolleye:
car had vwr lower solid race mount installed  :evilgrin:
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5082.0
if you dont like to hear/feel the engine through the seat then this is not a mod for you as its loud  :grin: but god i love it  :stupid:

and also had the powerflex bush fitted for the arm too to take all the slop out of the arm and engine movement  :grin: it now does not move at all  :grin:
its like the one john fitted
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6995.0
 and to aid the walk kit powerflex bushes and its made the whole front end nice and tight.
The car was also in for the vw cup car brakes fitting too but after Mat had looked at them he said we are not going to put them on your car as they are all a bit worn  :sad1: but how would you like to be part of the process for the new VWR brake kit  :confused: what kits this then so all was told and and my car goes down on teusday for it to have all the measurements taken from the car and both sets of wheels to check for clearance probs and then its back down for them fitting  :evilgrin:

some people have tried these on the VWR red mk5 but they are the prototype ones and the ones going on mine will be the final production versions that will be on sale very soon. All the info and all the cad designs will be put on the forum by Mat at VWR for everyone to see after mine get fitted in the next week or two  :happy2:.

oh yes just to say they are 360mm discs and 6 pot calipers  :notworthy:
