Thanks guys, means alot! It's taken a lot of effort this year as we seem to keep having problem after problem - wheels, tyres, brakes, carbon. Thankfully the wheels seem to be sorted, and the brakes and carbon will be soon. There've been a few evenings where I've considered packing it in but thankfully I'm too stubborn lol.

Looks just awesome Huw, a real credit to you! Keep plugging away at it and it will all come together in the end!

Think of the end product after all this hard work though and it will all be worth it, it's already looking stunning so far so any little niggles can be over come. VW/Audi day at Combe again in July? :)

Definitely. I think there's Volksfest Wales that weekend too so may go straight from Combe and camp ready for the Sunday.

:o That paintwork <3 looks mint!

I love your car

Cheers Pete :wub:

Had a great weekend this weekend with Players Classic on Saturday and Bristol Volksfest today. We were lucky enough to pick up a Top 25 award at Players Classic and I can't express how chuffed I am especially seeing the quality of the others who picked up awards. Here's a few pics from Goodwood, I'll get Bristol's snaps up later this week once I've processed them.

All a bit slow on the progress, work is crazy and we've had a couple of weeks away so not had much time on the car. We finally got around to doing a trial fit last weekend.

Thanks for all the comments guys :wub: It's been great to be able to get it out to some shows this year. I've not had a lot of time to do much in the way of new mods over the last few months. Some plans haven't worked out and some bits are having to be redone but all in all I'm pretty chuffed with how its looking.

We managed to pick up Best Lupo at GTI International a few weeks back, followed by Second in Show at VW Driver Day at Castle Combe :thumbup:

Haven't updated this for a little while. Had a pretty good last few shows. Came away with Best in Show at VW Action and Best Euro Car at Forge Action Day. Also ended up in VW Driver mag after the Trackday.

The car is off to VW shortly for a little routine work. It's due a service, belt change and waterpump before we get to work on the winter mods. Hopefully I'll be a little more organised with it this year. laugh.png
