Car looks nice i nearly traded my r32 for a silver dsg pirelli but when i went to see it the paint was in need of work the brakes all needed done and to top it off the dealer offered me 8grand for my r32 which was low tax band 06 plate 40k miles just been serviced by vw dsg and haldex aswell it was safe to say i got back in my car and drove off lol

Was it in Scotland?

It was in Scotland yeh I think they were wanting about 16grand at the time about 6 months ago it had lux pack highline mfsw dsg 3 door about 22k miles if I remember right wasn't vw service history was serviced at Arnold Clark

Yeh I did a deal over the phone on that one, for them to then promptly sell it to a main dealer who now have it up for 17.5k!  :stupid:

Sounds like you had a lucky escape with that one then Nath. I'm glad they sold it on before you made that long trip! :happy2:

So after just a little over two weeks the car is getting more the way I wanted with a few bits here and there now left to do.

Mods so far have been:

Eibach Sportline Springs
Aluminium Climate Rings
Aluminium Ashtray Lid
Gulf GTI Seat inserts
Pirelli logo on dash
Pirelli Logo in rear screen (Thanks VC  :wink: )
Bury iPhone 4 Handsfree Cradle
Satin Black VW Badge (still to be fitted)
OSIR Dead Pedal Rest (still to be fitted)
K&N Panel Filter (Thanks Flora!  :wink: )
New Pirelli Centre Caps
VWR TB Exhaust with Shallow Back Box (Thanks Boss Man  :happy2: )
Multi Function Buttons
LED No Plate Bulbs and side lights
Uprated Headlight bulbs
Gloss Black Door Mirrors (Thanks Boss Man  :wink: )
Gloss Black front Splitter and rear lower bumper
Open Fogs (Genuine after failed attempt at fitting replica ones!  :angry015: )
VWR Lower Engine Mount
APR ST2 Mapping

I think thats everything for now!  :laugh: :laugh:

I have finally got to give her a proper clean so she has some protection now until I can get the chance to give her a full correction. Obviously the car now feels very different but I'm still trying to get used to driving with the DSG fast. Not 100% happy with the APR map as yet but I'll reserve my judgement until I can give the APR guys a bit more time with the car!

Now some pics.......(not the best as the sun decided to hide the second I switched the camera on!!)









Side on for George!  :happy2:
