very nice mate, loving the dials.

Can i ask if you did you fit the downpipe at the same time as the rest of the system or after, if after how did you find it for gains with an oem cat?

Thanks for the comments guys.

Suj, what you doing, selling bit off the car or what - will try and attend a Cov meet soon. I used the guys from Rainbow Polishing you told me about

Mo, got the deflectors from the manufacturers themselves, i just googled 'Team Heko Wind Deflectors' and found there website. Got a set for me and my cousins Golf VR6 for less than £50 delivered for both sets.

Rocky, I had the cat back system fitted first and then got hold of the downpipe and decat off fleabay and had that mated to the OEM Cat as i didnt want issues come MOT time. Gave a deeper rumble once fitted.

Currently sorting out some stone chips - signed up with deailing world and reading posts on there, plus attended a machine polishing course and got a kit so will give the car a going over gradually.

Rocky, the turbo spools up quicker and it feels more lively. Deffo helps getting rid of exhaust gases quicker.

Suj, see the autobrite section on DW World, i think they are doing another course in the midlands soon - newcastle under lyme tbh for £65 or pay £120 and you can have 1-2-1 tuition on whatever you need. Speak to Mark.

see the thread here: http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=187501

mods, apologies if i shouldnt be posting the link on here - remove if required.
