Looks lovely mate, must be fun in the snow.

Ever thought of doing the wheels black?
u may have a point there , as i reckon , just spray them , either mat black or gloss black , think it would blend things in better :lol:

I think you should bring it down to GTi springfest at Santa Pod. Sounds like your sort of thing as you can run it up the strip rather than being sat in a field all day looking at 100+ cars that all look the same.

thought this would be of use as theres loads of standalone systems out there which are pricey to buy, the kits are brand new, and assembled to a high standed, as complete with labled wireing loom, instalation cd, etc ,,,as i know this kit was setup and tunied and runs/boosts a treat , once the niggy tunieing parts were sorted out ,,,
