    bonus on the clutch replacement!!

    if you can score the caliper spacers from the audi's and upgrade to the 312mm rotors you will be sweet!
    otherwise stock setup works fine.

    look forward to seeing what you do with it.

      Thanks blackers!
      I'm looking for the 312mm carriers but not having any luck with them
      If you or someone else could point me in the right direction that would be awesome [emoji4]
      I'd much rather upgrade them over going with stock again aha

                the only thing I think the mk4 GTI isn't from factory is fast.
                but that is easily fixed

                  Its much faster than my old 1.6L thats for sure!

                  And with a tune then yes, it will unlock the cars potential being that VW detune them by a ridiculous amount from factory

                    Bit of an interesting update for you all [emoji14]
                    But first I'll start off with a better picture of the car when I got it


                    Then came my new wheels! Thanks Slaj!!


                    Before fitment!


                    After fitment [emoji13]



                    Then came the time she really wanted to be an x5 [emoji23]


                    And then more lows came! [emoji39]




                    New front brakes were also fitted with the coils

                    I'm really loving how she sits now and will eventually go a bit lower!
                    More mods to come so stay tuned [emoji57]

                        Thanks man!
                        Rear is maxed out but I'm thinking about removing the perches to drop it bit lower
                        Might have to remove my mudflaps aswel considering they're hitting everything already but I kinda like the look of them aha

                            No rubbing as of yet man!
                            But need to look into it more when I go lower haha

                              Few little things have been added to the beast after the postage wait
                              But from another post I started I decided to remove the rear perches for more low...
                              Bad idea with the amount of rubbing, so I raised her back up aha





                              I also took delivery for some black mirror covers and a new rear wiper off an Audi


                              Friday night came and a friend asked to take some photos up in the hills! Which turned out awesome!! [emoji1]





                              On the way back through the hills I could hear scrubbing from my front. Only to realise I had pulled out my front guard from me stupidly not rolling them [emoji16]


                              Temporarily fixed for work in the morning for it to be pulled out again. Pushed in for the drive home after and the guards were rolled in pitch black! Lucky for having portable spot lights

                              Decided to replace my mirror switch which was broken (in two pieces when I took the trim off aha)



                              Took delivery of my new leather gearboot this morning so I also replaced it




                              So far so good with the car, and I'm really enjoying driving it! Many more plans have been made but are on hold with my current budget haha
                              Enjoy
