Looks good Tigz. That's a reason why I'm now considering keeping my bumpers standard (well putting the front back to standard). Want more of an OEM+ look.

It's weird really, I think the GTI is the only car VW has ever made which looks better when standard with a bit of lowering.
Every other older and newer VW needs mucho work.

By the looks of it, it's a screw head into the camera, which will fit all DSLRs (My model camera is used in one of the pictures) with a ball joint for fine positioning!

Sorry for the late responce, Ive been internetless..
It has a flat plate which the camera sits on, and then a screw which attaches to the botom of the camera/camcorder.

Finally got the manifold sorted, removed the flexi completely, as it made it sound like a bag of bolts.
Descided to replace the rusty old exhaust while I was at it.

Magnaflow system built by a chap in Doncaster.
Really nice looking thing, couldn' tell you if it rattles anymore, the sound it makes is too loud
Put the largest rear box he had on, wih no centre box.
Left the CAT in place though.
Gonna get it reworked though, its as loud as the old side pipe I had on the Lupo!

Well impressed though

if i was to get the cat removed, what noise increase would i be looking at?
