If I had know that James I would of had it, I've been after one for ages. I had to pay for mine:cry:

I've got battery brackets too mate, I trial fitted it with the battery in and it fitted, tight fit though. I'll see how I get on when fitting it for real.:)

Its goin to run into the DSG pipework thats already on to try and get some more air through it. I've recently ran one the other side of the battery aswell and cut a hole in the heat shield:

Just trying to find the time (and weather) to get a few things sorted. I've gone for tinting paint for the rear lights instead of Lamin-X, if it doesnt work I'll clean it off at order the film. Also got some paint for other places and got the air scoop to fit.

Edit: I'm also thinking of leaving the wheels now untill spring.

Thanks for the kind words Rich! :)

Worth painting the rear calipers mate, they made a much bigger difference than I expected them too once done. Weather is going to be against you soon for doing them so get it done soon if you plan on doing so bud.

If the paint is solid with no chips you can polish or even T cut them, they will come up a lot brighter, then in the summer you can re paint them.
