Look's good!
Not too keen on the red in the front badge, think just all black would suit it better!
What difference did you feel with the rear arb??!

Installed 2 days ago a cone filter, a dry one from Apexi with a 90 degree 70 to 80mm.
Tell me if you want a picture!
Otherwise Jetex is good, bmc and so on!
You should keep the lower section of the OEM airbox to put the filter inside to prevent sucking heat or do a custom made heat shield + upgrade to a PD160 kit for better flow if you haven´t already done it!

Yeah I took the grill out and compared the two on the Chinese one where the 3 clips are they have a piece of plastic in between them so I cut those pieces out so the clips could flex and it fitted in straight away.
Same goes for me. I ordered 2 badges just incase you never know what happens (from orientalpart )and yes the first one I did force it and broke it ! Did the same as you morells with the 2nd one!

Shouldn't need shorter drop links at the lows you are, I'm lower and have standard ones still.
I am however raising mine tomorrow as since I've fitted new tyres on my cup wheels I'm getting some rub age on the inner arch liner.

For peace of mind I'd change the drop links..
It depends what coilovers your running if I'm honest
My white gti I had ap on there (low as fook) standard drop links
My black gti I'm running pro sport (cheap like jom) and I've made shorter drop links
Also I'd get some paint or hammer rite on that rusty patch on your drive shaft
Looks good tho
