davidelliott294 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Day after purchase the car was cleaned and waxed . Here is a picture before the mods begin.So.. A rather large box arrived a few days ago.. In this rather large box was these:Just fitted my GTI Grill! I personally think this and the GTI front splitter make a major difference to the car. I'm very pleased with the result and I'm extremely pleased with how it handles and the ride comfort. It is probably more comfy than the original! Joms are amazing for the money! More plans:GTI splitterColour code handlesPossibly colour code bumper strips?GTI alloys or bbs rs'Shark fin aerialAlpine/focal ICE Edited March 13, 2012 by davidelliott294 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidelliott294 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Budget has been pretty tight so haven't got any updates. Went to lower the car a little more at the front tonight. Rings were pretty tight even although they were greased! Had to fetch a hammer to move the rings! First wheel off and I looked at the tread.. Tracking getting done this Friday and I'm going to see about getting the slight camber removed. My next mod will most likely be colour coded door handles & bumper strips or GTI splitter. hehe.
