Hi mate have you got a link for those springs, how has the ride felt since having them fitted.

Hi mate sorry for the delay in replying the link is below, ride has been brilliant, my more sporty with a sensible ride height still! No nasty bashes etc, had mine tracked etc by the wheel alignment centre in Southampton as he's local and a bloody genius!

So me and the miss braved Goodwood's first breakfast club of the season - and we may as well have taken a boat. The rain was biblical! Some amazing cars and a brilliant turnout! I also ended up have a pretty cool little thing park next to me in the field





Safe to say the field was interesting to get out of! Just hope they bring back the hot hatch Sunday!

Swapped the aerial over today for the polo one. The eBay special one I bought a while ago looked crap!

Nice thread, i often contemplate changing my front end from the gt to the gti. Makes all the difference with yours!!

Cheers mate! It's worth doing, I kept the original grilles etc so I can swap them back if I fancy a change!

I wasn't quite happy with the spray job on the wheels, there where a few runs in them and the paint was peeling so I found a set of steelies to run around on whilst I get the alloys re-sprayed, I'm thinking about going a hyper silver with heavy metal flake, what do you guys think?

Replaced the DV with the newer Revision E as I'm very picky and it felt like the Revision D wasn't pulling its weight as the boost gauge was dropping off when the turbo should kick in. Old Rev D is on the left and Rev E is on the right it's a pretty straight forward job to do, if in doubt look on the forge websites for their blow off valves, they give an instruction sheet which shows you how to remove the standard one.

So I bit the bullet and let the missus loose on my shift gator to replace the black stitching with red - what a difference! She did a cracking job

Subtle change but it looks so much better in my opinion

Gave the old girl a nice coating of polish and wax today, she looks good as new

I did notice there where a lot of stone chips..as in millions of the f*cking things. So I'll pretty much have to invest in a front end re spray I imagine
