Just an old t-shirt and autosol bud. It is a bit of a pain to polish the top but as you can see there is a bit of a gap between my exhaust and the bumper which makes it a bit easier... I normaly just do the top one side at a time, by cupping my hand round the exhaust.

Not sure if that helds you :blink:

The seats a lot better?

I've been driving about on a base spec seat for the last couple of days and it's awful! Sit up high, right on top of it and roll about all over the place. Sure it's made the handling worse!

I've had mk4 Recaros for yonks though, so can't really remember what the GTI seats were like.

Yea the seats are great :) I've got used to them now but i remember when i first got them in i loved the difference... alot more support than the standards! Haha, agree with the handling, feel i can go round corners now without ending up sitting on my passengers lap :lol:

Thought i better just keep this thread alive.

Not much has been happening recently!... with christmas and all.

It's had a service and i've shorted the head rest legs so they all now sit flush with the seats which is nice. Today I've just bought some Focal componants and sound deading so in the new year i will be starting on a small install :)

Coilovers and wheels will be next once i've sorted out sounds. Figure i spend most the time inside the car so may aswell get that sweet! plus winter driving conditions and where are live are not coilover friendly, untill the summer ;)

Few recent pics, including the coventry vag meet.

Audio time!!!! Well a little bit anyway :P

Felt like christmas again when the Focals turned up lol, been waiting for agis! Can't wait to get them fitted. They will be running off an Alpine amp that i've already got, not the best but it will do for the time being :) the amp will be under the drivers seat to which should be pretty cool.

The plan is to put them behind the GTI door cards.. i've got a couple of different size MDF rings, hopefully with a combination of them i will be able to get them sitting right.

Headunit for the moment is my old pioneer unit, not bad but i will be getting a new one hopefully next month with 3 pre outs as this one only has 1!

Then it will be sub time! :D need to start saving.

Few pictures anyway.

Saving is essential for amsterdam, so bloody expensive. I went last year and spent 250 quid in two and a half days! Didnt even get any hookers with that either :lol:
