Re-routed my cabling up my steering column. Looks the bees

Couple if minor scratches and mot till jan 2015. Bought from a dealer who took it in as a part exchange with full service history

UPDATE Seeing as the sun was out today and the girlfriend went out with her mates shopping i thought what better than to clean the car. It was bad, and like always i forgot to take pictures of it before A few afters anyway.. Took a quick break, as the ice cream van come along, ready to fit the check straps on both doors after. With the ice cream devoured, i set to work on replacing the check straps, pretty straight forward. only took the one picture as i'm sure you get the idea And quick picture of the new gear gaiter and chrome light switch And my girlfriend bought me a companion for the lupo (More to do with me liking turbo rather than the car not err having one haha) Payday on monday so going to take a trip to VW and order few interior bits that are worn/aged. Thats all for now cheers stef

On the interior ceiling lining I used car plan interior valet from asda for a few quid, my ceiling was absolutely filthy and now it's near enough spotless, best stuff for cleaning up fabrics including door cards and seats, I often get comments on how new looking the interior is.

Yes, I did the conversion. The turbo was 450E new, the tubo manifold was 50E second hand + 30E because I had to go to a workshop to cut one runner and weld a plat. I had to make a custom downpipe because the vnt17 has a different position, plus the flange of the exhaust has 3 screw. The injectors cost 100E/unit second hand on ebay or new 400$ at Kerma. There were same other bits like n75 valve, vacuum lines... that I had lying around, so I don't know the price of them.

Yep, i fitted my viper induction kit tonight, as i got my 90 degree through the post today from John (caspergti). I'm really pleased with it, thought i'd try something different to the BMC. Much better throttle response, and seems to pull nice through the revs, oh and the sound aint bad either! Gives a lovely roar! I bought my gti about 5-6 months ago now and its a great car as you'll all know. It came with a/c, 6 gears and FK Silveline X's, its on an 02 reg which has just hit over 42k. I was weighing up the pro's and cons of induction kits and pannel filters but decided to bite the bullet and get the viper. When i was removing the air box i checked to see what the filter was like inside and found what looked like a new BMC pannel filter which was nice, as i nearly bought one when looking into them! It makes sense as when excellerating there was a slight growl (not that loud) but not what you'd expect from a standard part. Anyway i positioned it down the right hand side of the engine bay (where the expansion tank is) and have the the cold air feed pointing towards the upper grill. Obviously i cant get it right up to the grill because of the A/C pipe but i have made a little hole and cabletied the end of the cold air feed to the pipe so its as close as it can be. Oh i've fitted a pipercross breather filter aswell, until i decided on what catch tank to get, as i think there more effective...? and look nice under the bay to. Just one question ive left haf the orginal cold aif feed that comes from the wheel arch in as im not sure how it comes out and dont want to break it! Its seems to be attahced to the arch adn also there seems a bit at if the bottom of the tank attached to the chassis, can anybody give any advice of how to remove this? Cheers Drew
