Really like this Jon, really tidy.

Cheers Gally, I'm hoping they look decent on the car. Will be putting them on in the next month, so will get a few snaps

Yeah, was definitely worth doing, the sound quality is 10 times better.

Thanks Tom. It really is a brilliant car, such a nice place to be

So the car is back from VW with two brand new arches and repaired sills all 100% under warranty :) Lightcliffe have done a really good job, and I got the joy of driving around in a Honda Jazz courtesy car for a week! Also a few weeks back, I picked up an RCD510 which is now fitted. The sound...

Cheers mate, I'm pretty happy with them. Never tried it before but they were well pitted so it was worth the risk haha

Last week I managed to get my front arches approved for warranty at Lightcliffe VW Liverpool :smiley: So its booked in for a week as of the 6th while they give me a hire car... I don't think it will be a Mk7 GTI though lol. I've also finished refurbing my Monza IIs as they were F**ked! I'm...

yeah if assume the difference between the G & D is minimal the D can't split again so that's the benefit of it, however it hosts 1/2 psi less from what I've been told. I didn't change my cam follower I just got it done while the FMIC was being fitted for ease but it looks pretty straight...

the rev G is the newer membrane one rather than a piston, I went for that as they hold more boost apparently. My PVC was still working fine when I replaced it but went ahead as a precautionary measure before mapping. another thing to change is the cam follower, only around £20 and if they fail...

Cheers guys, yeah I love the wheels. PITA to keep clean tho! is that the rev D? I put the rev G in mine. defo worth doing as my old one was completely shot and holding no boost at all.

Small update for the golf: GTI seat pump inserts GTI Rabbit Tuning Developments sticker, good mates of mine who specialise in Jap tuning but can take on anything really, they have carried out all the work to my Golf and my 182 beforehand. Nipped into Manchester on Saturday night to get...

cheers lads! well this week I replaced the majority of my bushes with powerflex poly bushes and fitted a new (standard) anti roll bar and drop links, which managed to snap both drop links. Common problem for the mk5 platform apparently. So they have been refunded and a whiteline arb and drop...

goes to show how much a set of decent wheels matter to the looks of a car!

100% really happy I got a set!

managed to buy a set of BBS Pescaras a few weeks back but have been sat in the garage for a few weeks waiting for tyres, the wheels were a bit of an impulse buy! Anyway last week I got a set of conti contact 5s and put the wheels on...

I agree with the rear of the mk7 looking terrible although you do get used to it over time lol. the 19s are much better than the 18s imo!

yeah they are brilliant all round cars :) i expect to keep mine for a few years.

quick shot from the window :)

Just picked the golf up after having the rear ARB replaced and the poly bushes done and new drop links. feels much tighter now. should be more noticeable once I get these ditch finder tyres off!

yeah why it wasn't colour coded from factory makes no sense. I agree Matthew, just can't get on with the rear of the mk7. It looks great from all other angles...

Cheers guys, The iphone pictures dont really do it justice. Looks much beter in the metal :)

Over the weekend I managed to paint my wheel hubs as they were looking a little worse for wear! I forgot to take some before and after shots (as usual) So just got one after the wheels were back on lol Also tried to get a snap of my new intercooler. I think it sits well, hardly noticeable but...

I was undecided on the wheels but that photo above looks good :)

Cheers! I'm over the moon with it! I will upload some better pics soon

The rolling road at TD is known as the heartbreaker lol. It doesnt over read like the majority ;)

Had the GTI in at Tuning Developments over the weekend while I was over in the Emerald isle :) Quite a bit of work done: Front Mount Intercooler & Hard Pipework Rev G Diverter Valve Replaced Cam Follower Replaced PVC Valve with the newest version H&R Springs Live Remap Before the work the car...

cheers guys, will keep this thread updated as i progress! looking forward to getting everything fitted. Yeah the k03s is standard, from what I've heard it's around 270 - 280 bhp

picked up a few goodies at the weekend

Managed to pick up some genuine bbs pescaras in mint condition for a decent price so just waiting to receive them. Also got it booked in for some more goodies next week, so I will get some pics uploaded during the week!

sweet, I will get hold of a rev G then. cheers for all the advice! Definitely the best car for the money I was trying to think of alternatives but kept coming back to the mk5. And I personally prefer the colour coding, no idea why vw didn't do that from factory, especially the rear bumper.
