Yeh lots of excellent modifications on it. Im glad folks are still taking their time with these cars and choosing wise mods, whilst at the same time trying to keep the OEM+ look alive.

couple of little things which may help,

cherry blossom your steering wheel (leaves it deep black)
remove bonnet liner (hear even more whoosh)
you defo need a S3 strut brace to emphasise the polybushes
bonnet seal to keep most of the grime out
rear spacers (15mm) makes the rear look fat (or phat) lol

Other than that, keep up the good work
 
Excellent looking car.

cheers buddy!

Looks nice, like the black, nice n stealthy :) If I go for one of those it'll be black for me too.

One thing I would say is get your engine-related running issues sorted first, otherwise you'll start to struggle to work out what's causing what issues. Don't mean to piss on your parade mate, just that when I changed boost hoses, DV spring and the B5 TIP just after getting mapped I was in a bit of a mess trying to work out what issue was what!
 
Did you have a engine management light coming for changing the thermostat or was it just the temp going up? As iv got a fault code 017704 or sumthing chucking up a engine code and it's pissing me off on my dash.

Fmic looks tidy min too.
 
That cooler looks great, proper stealthy too. You really cant see it, even with the red hoses.

How do she feel now its fitted?

yeh nice and OEM look :) , noone will knwo what hit them when i get stage2 :p haha

does pull better in all gears , really fell in the higher gears which is good , got some other problems needing fixed with the car so cant really give it a full blast

think i was getting a bit more Torque as well
 
Nice work mate :) Very stealthy.

When I fitted my tx cooler quite a while ago now, I noticed the car pulled harder in mid range to top end and that was just on standard map.
