Nice one fella! I'm liking the oil filler cap, its a nice touch - ooowmuch?
Just wondering - can you still get the engine cover on if you want to? And are you gonna get a similar new badge for the front grille?

Looking good there Dubpolo,
Nice work, like the badge, yeah, I agree with Si_GTi, you should get the front badge just to ensure some consistency.
Look forward to seeing it for real soon!

the front badge is on its way but without the rabit, my car seems to pull better top end like 70 +

Let me know how easy it is to remove and replace the front badge - I'm planning to replace mine with chrome items from the Golf GTI
and also a kamei grille is still on the cards if I can get the cash together

the front badge lettering is stuck on so all im going to do is peel the letters off and stick the new ones on!

cool!
btw the manifold cover is really easy to bling up, with some wet and dry, a dremmel and autoglym, and then braso it come up like a mirror with an hours work.

Really nice BMC setup.Very clean
I am also curious as to how on earth you cut the front from that side
I looked around before installing and there was no way i could make a hole from that side, so i made one on the other side.
Oh and congrats on the new tires.I have those also and THEY ROCK !!!!
Been through 3 different tires so far but these are THE BEST for the Gti.You'll love them
