Thanks mate, yeah I've been toying with the idea of putting mesh over the cooler, next time I have the bumper off I might see how it looks.

Nah not me sorry mate

[MrGTIandRfan]

Nah, had a visible FMIC and wasn't from SA! I've seen that GTI R32 replica as well.

Either way, looks very nice. Those Mk4 GTI's were so boring looking from factory!

Looking good, I remember test driving this ages ago at the dyno meet.

What sort of power does it put down now?

[VR6man]

ECS stage 1 clutch and 21lb SMF

How do you find the clutch on take off?
Does it shudder or is it smooth?

Car looks good mate, personally I would've powder coated the intercooler black (but I'm old lol).

thanks mate, clutch is pretty smooth but that'll probably change when i get a lighter fly wheel. i left the cooler like that because i like the more aggressive look, too many girls calling it cute haha.
