payna Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) To be fair to them, I am more than happy with the actual system. Its nothing short of perfect, It's just the after sales and general arrogance that is totally uncalled for.I think the fact it was a lupo, at a low ride height that upset him somewhat... LolJust noticed the boot badge - looks cool! Edited December 29, 2011 by payna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

payna Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Yeah, both me and Adam that used to be on here got a cat back at the same time....Not sure where his (1st) raven gti is now, very cool car though!Janspeed should be a good buy, If I remember - there's a clip of jens gti on YouTube with the janspeed. Sounds pretty similar to mine too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micp Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Been a while since I posted in here so a few little updates coming up -Because of moving house I've not done much new to the car besides service it, a few little bits on maintenance and spray/fit my set of Bathurts.Here's a few pictures from a recent clean.Anyway - woke up on Friday morning to find out my other halves inability to drive caused this -So I've spent most of yesterday and today getting quotes for the repairs. I've ordered a new rear light from Dale and I've got my local VW to order me a bumper in which should come Tuesday.It should be going in to a bodyshop next week to have the back quarter pulled out and reshaped - needless to say I'm heartbroken and we're currently not speaking.Because of that I've spent most of my day today in the garage refurbing my winter wheels -I've also purchased myself a BMC-CDA to cheer me up which should be getting fitted once I've got everything else done! I'm looking for some metal piping for it so if anyone had any pictures of this done, or links to where I can find the piping I'd be greatful!Hopefully the next update won't be so long away.

Silver! Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 ...jeez, it's only a car. Damage not to bad if you have a good body shop.Hope your other half is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micp Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hah, she's fine - she only hit it at about 5mph but somehow managed to mangle my car and only remove a little paint from her Audi.Her banter was "the break usually automatically comes on if the parking sensors start going mad".They're both booked in to the bodyshop next week to be fixed so I'm a happy man again.

micp Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) This arrived today, purchased for a good price from a member on here.I'm going to give the filter a clean out then get myself some metal piping and an Oil catch tank.Now I need to get looking at exhausts and manifolds.

micp Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 So, finally got the car back and everything has been sorted.Fitted the new Cambridge rear light and got frost bite.Ordered myself a catch tank and some aluminum piping which came last week. Need a t-piece now but I'm looking for information on where to pick one up from!Arrived home from work yesterday and my Janspeed I'd ordered had also arrived.Plans over the next few days are to give the car a good wash and wax before we get any further in to the winter and fit the winter wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micp Posted December 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Welcome mate!You've picked the best colour! Get some pictures up for us to see.Any plans for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Nice to see her looking good again. This is provided me with inspiration for my raven blue GTI. There can't be that many left in this colour. There was a guy breaking a raven blue GTI on ebay recently.
