Yeah I like it, looks much better.
How's the drive with the bushes in as I'm fitting mine next week hopefully but rear axle ones aswell from polybush.

Any bodywork plans? Think black side repeaters and color code front splitter would look proper.

Yeah, she does look much better now! Haven't had much chance to hit the Twisty's but she does feel sharp in the corners!

Thinking of Smoked Side Repeaters yeah! How do you Colour Code the Front Splitter?

It was Registered 03/03/2000 and it has a Fully Serviced 77,000 Miles on the Clock.

TBH, I really don't want to sell.. But I have to have a company car and I don't think I can afford to keep running both!

Fair point mate
Always a shame to sell your pride & joy but its expensive enough to keep one car on the road let along two

I get mine done at STS Tyre Pro in Bromley Common. (Used to be called RSR).

Carl, the boss, has always done a fantastic job for me.

GTi goes arrow straight and the steering wheel is bang on straight ahead too!
