Sweet! And yes those seat are the dogs dangly bits! Never seen them before. Are they Mk6 GTI items? or optional extra's?

Keep up the good work Dave.

The seats were an optional extra for the Mk5 GTI in 2006/2007. Not many of them around.

So i collected the refurbed wheels today. They came out a little darker than i expected, i had asked for them to painted the same grey as the inserts on the wheels. I'm still very happy with them though, refurb place did a great job and the finish is flawless.

A few crappy phone pics.....

Not a whole lot to report on this. Needed 2 front tyres, i managed to pick up some Eagle F1's off Camskill for €240 delivered. They had a few quid off them at the time, happy days  :happy2:

Also replaced the standard aerial with a shorter one from Wooosh on here and gave it a much needed bath!
