@Softishman You have a great brake setup! It would be easier for most of us to follow your project if you had one in English. :wink:

Finally got rid of the sagging under bonnet insulation. Nice new taught one with a heat shield. Looks so much better and tidier.

Car had its major service, Brake fluid service and cam belt & water pump changed. Also a pair of Michelin Super Sports bought from this forum put on.

Car has felt quite sluggish for a while so got them to change the N75 valve too.

Omg the car feels like new and boy oh boy does it feel effortlessly powerful again!  :driver:

Fell in love with th car all over again  :love:

Went a bit mad on the spending today..
New front and rear vw racing anti roll bars
Bigger brake kit for my TDI, up to the GTI Fronts and Rears, should see a nice improvement, I know it's not the biggest but I'll probably notice the difference!

New discs and pads all around for when they arrive

Bunch of suspension bushes

New 18" alloys...was looking for 17" but fell in love with the 18"s when i saw them!

Plus a second hand abs pump to fix a niggling intermittent issue!
