Sounds good I take it you kept the OE dampers on? Looking at getting some Eibach pro springs and was wondering if they go okay with the std dampers.

Just do the usual Exhaust and panel filter then suspension & brakes

I'm asking myself the same question too lol

Led lights definately aren't safe

Always sad seeing a good car go. Good luck with the Golf...that scene seems to be thriving so there's bound to be some real nice ones about. Make sure you don't change your mind and end up in a Focus ST though:D

According to evo mag they thought the Trophy was the hot hatch benchmark of all time...never driven one though so don't know how it compares to say a 205gti which I have owned in the past.

That is heavy...bet there's a s**t load of weight to be lost if swapped with a decent set of kevlar/carbon aftermarket buckets.

That's the fronts mate....check the drainage holes in the spring cups Also worth checking it the top mounts....prone to cracking and bearing failure...mine went on both sides in my old Renault but it had done quite a lot of miles.

Agree with Ali...get and order a panel filter.

I wouldn't call the 172/182 full fat models 'raw'...My 172 feels pretty well nailed together and refined compared to some of the sheds I've driven!

I wouldn't be bothered about speed..172 is a better car all round.

Looks good...nice and subtle

Agree with Billy....the oil filler flap on the engine cover is very prone to snapping.

I ride to work so the car doesn't get used much..think I've done 1500k in six months!

Look nice but IMO more of wheel for a VW, Audi or a BMW

I'd go for the Megane 225

Welcome to the club:D

Looks good...that colour is the mutts-nuts:D

All I can say is I had a K&N IK in my old 19 16v with cold air feed and it made the engine flat as anything...think it must of lost a the car some torque.

Need a scratching post nearby

Looks good:D

Welcome to the forum:D

Aren't the OE calipers Bendix, Girling or Lucas ones which are used on lots of different car applications?...would of thought they would be easy to get hold of.

Too true

Maxogen is the only one worth going for (if you have over 300 spare)...rest are c**p. Just save the money and spend it on suspension & brakes

Quite an old trick....when I used to own my Renault 19 16v people on forus used to smash the internals/cells out of the cat with a broomhandle...nice and cheap but a bit crude!

Good stuff....apart from the Maxogen there is no need for all the noise in fitting an IK.

Mike runs Rentech and is regarded as a very good garage to take your car. Here's the web address www.ren-tech.co.uk

Why does it look better...is it because there are a couple of peashooters on show at the rear and some plastic trim added? Surely that stuff adds weight

Don't waste your money on the IK..just go for a panel and spend the rest on a good exhaust.
