Well sold the Evo in March and it sailed of to Scotland.

So after that I was on the hunt for the next car, wanted to stay turbo but with buying a house I didn't want anything old or heavy on the purse strings to maintain. Narrowed it down to an ED30 Golf or Leon Cupra.

After Dubshed I picked this little gem up from North Wales in a Ford Dealership. Ticking all the boxes for now, great to drive, nice on the juice and cheap enough to maintain.

Was bought with the following:

Completely Stock
Speed Blue
2.0 Turbo 240BHP
22,000 miles
Full VAG Service History

Needed some changes as the mirrors and wheels where white (Chavs wet dream essentially). Mirrors went gloss black, wheels went to Nu Luk (Which did a fantastic job) for some stock BBS silver paint.

Next up I called into Performance360 who gave the car a Revo stage 1 and Revo PCV delete . Sitting at a cool 300bhp now. Completely transformed the car, would highly recommend the guys to anyone. Very professional and customer service is second to none.

On to spec and pictures. Few things left to fit as you will see from the list below but its all here, just need to get up to Performance360 again to get it all fitted then get my Nikon out for some decent images.

Also picked myself up the VAG optional extra Kenwood multi media unit, great unit, built in Garmin Nav and Bluetooth. Tidys the bland dash up a bit so alot nicer inside aswel.

C&C welcome.

**Update 30/05/2013**

Made the trip up last night to the boys at Performance360 to get my remaining parts fitted.
  • KW V1 Coilovers
  • H&R 10mm spcaers [REAR]
  • Triple R Splitter
  • Rev D Diverter Valve
  • Revo PCV Delete
Guys did a great job and the car is fantastic now with the KW's fitted. Honestly without a doubt better than stock ride quality. Cant recomend the guys enough, all done to perfection as always.

Splitter im sure wont be to everyones taste but I love how the cars turned out. Ill wash it today and get some proper pictures over the weekend, heres a few shots from last night.

Few more pictures, waiting on a new Nikon charger for my DSLR to arrive. So IPhone for now, but a nice setting all the same whilst I was down visiting the folks in Groomsport this afternoon.
