I wanna but funds are so tight at the moment cc splitters are so much better. But thanks for the compliments dude.

iom dropping her off at a mates garage tomorrow hes going to strip the pedal box out and re weld before reinstalling, my car still drives but its impossible to get into gear sometimes and i dont want to do any unnecessary damage by not engaging the clutch properly so in it goes i think i loose it for like 4 days,

also after 2 years of putting it off i have bought some tiger seal and im going to fit that bloody gti spoiler that should finish off the rear end, then my cars probably done with, just imperfections to change after that unless i move onto the audio side of things but it sounds pretty good as it is !

plus i dont want to chuck a whole lot more of money into it... unless i win the lottery then she would get stripped completely and someway somehow i would twin 2 r32 engines in there

about time haha

Anyway so cars in the garage still having the pedal box rewelded but before she went i carpet cleaned all the seats.

They were stained etc so I got to work... I own a ground floor flat do parked up outside my window





Gave her a huge Hoover and got to work

You can see here the condition they were in











How gross is that.









The pics don't really show how bad the we're or how good they got but the water shows what I took out.

They now look brand new The results are amazing

Then just a pic I took of the car very quickly.

I got my pedal box replaced the part was surprisingly cheap from dealers was just a bastard of a job.

So pedal box got rewelded and is back in I picked the car up yesterday, my mate adjusted my clutch to make it last longer as my bite was really high so he made it lower. There's a bit of over revving but not stalled it as of yet ha ha put all problems, noises and frustrations have gone

Spoiler has been fully prepped and will be fitted next week then I need to make more dust caps as mine got nicked il coat my next ones in pig s**t or something

I also found my headlight projectors today (all bar the black bar things) so up put them back on next week too.

So as you all know I've had a GTi spoiler for like 2 years that I've never fitted well today I received some goodies...







How do I come to take my current brake light out it's all grimey and horrible do I just gently lever it out ?!. Or does it have something to do with these homes on te back ?!.





I'm hoping to do it all this weekend.

Any help is appreciated

I'm pretty sure when I did mine I literally jus used my nails to get it off haha, easy. Those holes are where I screwed the spoiler to hold it in place to seal it or watever but the clips on the spoiler clip in perfectly. whole thing is alot easier than expected

I brought some new black plastic valve covers and got some more red Lego bricks yesterday so il make some new dust caps over the weekend as well as fit that spoiler.

To this









Spot the difference

LIKE! Looks loads better

Thanks, I'm pretty much done with it now maybe spacers in the future.

But thanks for the comment

How did you hold it in place mate and what did you stick
It with?? Been meaning to do mine for ages!
