    • in preparation for future Mods...
      I killed 2 birds today by installing a Twin Power Socket unther the dash behind the fuse box (stealthy dedicated power for GPS etc)
      and
      a Switched 12 power wire for my LED's DRL and Gauges.

      Did this by adding 2 terminal wire in the fuse box, so each has a fuse.

            bushes are such an underrated mod... putting mine in, in terms of feedback, was day and night.

                    Don, did you buy your superpro alloy arms from the Brisbane eBay seller? Are they good quality?

                    I bought a set for my mk6 yesterday. Can't wait to get them installed!

                    • i got the control arms directly from APR... Guy supplied, Mike installed... very happy with the results! the quality is great from visual inspection and discussions with Guy and the stonger bushes in the castors make it a great alternative/upgrade over the whiteline ALK...

                      the tune upgrade is also brag-worthy... car feels like a totally different beast...

                      • I know that you already know how fantastic you car is Don, but I came across this review. It is from 2009, and you may have already seen it, but it is good reading.

                        I read it again. When I was looking for a MKV GTI, I couldn't find a Pirelli
