I do keep looking! will PM you if I see any:D

Theres a cheap rear bumper just been listed if anyones interested £85

cheers dude! i'm always looking too!

i'm going to be doing the wheels and suspension after i've got all the hose's done and the side skirts.
I'll also upgrade the brake disks as well. just don't know what to go for. and i'm going to get some calipers and do them up and paint them silver and replace the ones ive got.

i'll probably buy it all in little bits here and there then put it all together once i've got all the parts.

hi it doesn't look too bad without the side skirts. i'll try and get a picture for you over the weekend.

Been having a chat with a mate of mine about possible mods for the car. we got on to talking about the urban camo hoses i'm getting and wondered what else we could do, so we've come up with maybe redoing the roof liner in urban camo as well! had a look around online and have seen someone with forset camo,

well the way i think about it is that they'll last a lot longer then my OEM ones. and probably won't crack.

Just spoke to a mate and he said they should be easy to do. we're gunna have a go in the week i think. also going to change my coolant as well.

i'm going to start on the urban camo battery cover tomorrow! i'll keep you all posted!

cheers mate! the red do you mean? they are just the chrome grille surrounds. i cut them up and prayed them red and stuck them on! still got the center one to put on yet. still need to figure out how though!

just ordered the comfort indicators. should see them tomorrow. been looking at this for ages, when i had an 07 passat tdi hire car it had them and they were really handy. so i thought i'd go for it!

not getting the camo fabric for another week or so. they fabrix place is on holiday at the moment! which is a bit lame. but can't wait to get it!
