Thanks for the comments guys.

Suj, what you doing, selling bit off the car or what - will try and attend a Cov meet soon. I used the guys from Rainbow Polishing you told me about ;)

Mo, got the deflectors from the manufacturers themselves, i just googled 'Team Heko Wind Deflectors' and found there website. Got a set for me and my cousins Golf VR6 for less than £50 delivered for both sets.

Rocky, I had the cat back system fitted first and then got hold of the downpipe and decat off fleabay and had that mated to the OEM Cat as i didnt want issues come MOT time. Gave a deeper rumble once fitted.

Currently sorting out some stone chips - signed up with deailing world and reading posts on there, plus attended a machine polishing course and got a kit so will give the car a going over gradually.

Rocky, the turbo spools up quicker and it feels more lively. Deffo helps getting rid of exhaust gases quicker.

Suj, see the autobrite section on DW World, i think they are doing another course in the midlands soon - newcastle under lyme tbh for £65 or pay £120 and you can have 1-2-1 tuition on whatever you need. Speak to Mark.
