Nice upgrade, are you selling the chinese oem and if so you got model and pics  :happy2:

@irish_ram not sure yet. I may just keep it so can put car back to standard(ish) when I sell it.

If I do decide to sell it though, I'll contact you first.

Cheers fella, what model was it just in case and I have a RCD300 if want to an OEM headunit back in  :grin:

Got two of my wheel back from getting refurbed, the other two are now away, here is some before and afters along with on the car ones










Decided not to have them re-diamond cut, although i argued and argued with myself over doing it, but i am very pleased with the outcome of them!

Got in touch with VW to have them have a look at the front wings, fingers crossed it'll be good news.

I've just noticed your alloys or car doesn't have tyre pressure sensors?. Nice job and I wonder how they mask the wheels to do the black parts lol

I know the guy well who done them for me, he spent a long time masking them, done the silver first, then the black inserts. I don't think any have tyre pressure monitors/sensors, it's done off the esp system I'm sure

Just out of interest, so you mind me asking how much the AWD conversion is setting you back?

parts cost me about £1200, but you have got to search fleebay and salvage yards constantly, and you will get them cheap in the end, and conversion is £2800 all in, but theres a lot more work than you think, ask Andy humble to send you details,  at Autotechnica, running hi 4s at present, but maybe going bigger turbo, if there a deal to be done with APR,working on it at present as its going to be having a feature in a vw mag and will be at the gti international show in july and many others, so they will get plenty of coverage and will be a good advert for them, so hopefully they will fund some of the cost,  :smiley:

Had new rear discs and pads in the back of the car for a few months now so decided to change them today. Passenger side all done no problem, onto the drivers side, piston refused to budge, so messed about for long enough, but ended up giving in, need to sort out caliper now.....
