Some nice mods and love the rims.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Cheers
Next on the list is a Remap, cant decide what one to go for Revo or CC. Also undecided on the exhaust want a milltek but unsure if i want to go R32 style wich adds the cost of colour coding everything and a new rear bumper . whats your thoughts ?

Boxer... how are ya?

Just a quick question about your carbonio... did you manage to fit both of the torx screws back to attache it to the gril? mine doesnt seem to want to slot it so i just put one screw back in... seems ok!

Looks ace that does mate, really like the front, red strip on the red motor makes it stand out nicely.
If I were you j would go for he magnetic number plate method.
If you are unsure how to do it just type in magnetic number plate on the search function at the top, that's how I have had mine fitted on the us sped grille.
