Hi Evryone! Just brought a 2008 GTI dsg in tornado red, monza 2 wheels, full leather ect...pretty top spec:-)

Pick it up friday...

List Of Mods to be done! Wanted to keep it standard but the modding has started before ive picked the car up

Colour code rear lower bumper and side skirts!
Look for ed30 front splitter.. like finding a needle in a hay stack!!
Matte Black the moza wheels
Wrap the roof gloss black
black front and rear badges

Maybe Looking at carbonio intake, anyone got one for sale?
Anyone know of a good bodyshop in sullok area?

Hello and welcome Matty. I have a TR GTi too. Great choice  :happy2:
Personally, I would leave the Monza II as they are, look much better and if you ever want to sell they will be worth more as originals.

Carbonio intakes are useless, save your money. They just look pretty.
Go for a CAI kit like ITG, Evoms or Forge Twintake (I have one of these). Will give you much bugger gains and sound better too.

Rather than searching for an ED30 splitter (which is almost impossible to find second hand) why not buy a Votex front lip from VW direct. Looks slightly better and is a much less common.

Of course, this is all just my opinion. You have no obligation to take heed  :grin:

Apart from that, enjoy your car and test out the launch control  :evilgrin:

Offcourse it's a matter of opinion, but I decided to get an ed30 splitter from vw (£240) after trawling eBay and the like for about 3 months! It's alot of money but I think it finishes off the front end nicely and looks better than a votex one!  :happy2:
