eBay job, 30 miles away. Paid £300 for the complete bumper with grills fogs and sliders.
I got it off eBay from bloke just saying its a VW one but not sure from what. My mums got a golf mk6, and this ones exactly the same but in a 6 sped version. It's shorter and rounder then my original FR leather one. The brushed aluminium goes better with my s3 vents and the LCR pedals.

Yes that what I want to do to mine. I want to honeycomb the centre one aswell with a black "s" badge too but that looks a little more "blue Peter"

I know lol does add up, think iam over the £5k mark now. Still in 3 years ownership that's about £1700 a year, I would of lost more then that in depreciation on a new car but instead I've got something that looks a little different and still runs like new, even though its worth more in parts then it is as a car.
Iam after the look of a LCR but need the MPG of a TDI and just put up with the "tractor sound" lol

Fair enough mate, but i suppose your making up the money with the low fuel costs. If it was an LCR then that would be a different story lol. I personally will never own a brand new car as i couldnt bare to lose thousands over the years unless its a company car
Car does look good though, keep up the good work bud

Cheers. Cars averaging 52mpg which I need given the amount of driving I do, couldn't justify it in a LCR. And may tax and insurance is half what it would be on a LCR. I pay £130 a year tax, and £600 fully comp.

Ok so my brand new 2 week old Toyo T1-R decided to go pop at high speed down the motorway. It had picked up a massive screw that then decided to leave the tyre with instant air loss and the wheel killing the tyre.
Luckily i carry a spare but its one of those 50mph limited ones, and with 100 miles to go to London was not impressed, especially when being overtaken by Caravans, plus the wheel looks gash.
Had a new Toyo fitted in London for £90 so not too bad
Heres the new\old one
Decided to pick up a spare LCR alloy to keep in the boot, so if iam here again, ill have a wheel that looks the same with no speed limit with a decent tyre that i dont need to be in a rush with to replace. Bought a brand new 225/40/18 Falken ZE912 non rotational tyre for it so i know iam all good. Fits in the boot perfect

Ok got a new genuine seat pancake pipe and hose setup from Dave @ Sere cause ive had nothing but hassle from the uprated SFS one and now the hose from the turbo to pancake pipe has been rubbing on the driveshaft and eat its way through the pipe and before that endless amounts of pipes blowing off where the hose clips just arnt strong enough, it was time to go back to standard. Not cheap at £270 but couldnt be dealing with the hassle any more
New genuine one fitted

Another update
Ive put some full black leather heated Golf MK4 R32 Konig seats in. I got the loom and proper seat heater switches and the LHD air bag light and rear heater timer switch from Phillc's yellow cupra to do a OEM install
My old electric adjustable vs the Konig's
Cleared the interior seats out and installed the R32 rear bench and feed the heated loom through the carpet
Installed the switches
And last of all the seats. Was pitch black by the time i finished so this is a crap shot in the dark with the flash, will get some proper pics up tomorrow in daylight.
