CpcPeter-
Hello mate, I made the heat-shield up that I will be putting on at work, however it's made from 1.5mm sheet metal so I'm in 2 minds weather or not to use it.
The other idea I have is to buy one off of eBay.... There's a Tfsi induction kit on eBay that comes with a heat shield for the filter... I messaged the seller to see if he could supply me with just the filter heat shield, he replied back to say yes for £40 iirc.
I'll give you a link to the seller/traders intake etc if you like, I'm gonna go ahead and fit the one I made up at work over the weekend (all being well) . If it looks ok I'll keep it on.
as for the rubber bung I have on the rear window for the wiper delete..... I got a pack of assorted sized rubber grommets from halfords..... I think it's 22mm but I'll have to check the one I used. I have a spare one if you want me to send it you mate (you can have it free)
As for the exhaust, I just didn't like the noise the cobra made for so a reason. I'll probably end up buying a milltek if a used one come up for a good price. I love how the oem cat back sounds with the 3" de-cat down pipe.
I'm going to go for the autotech HPFP internals, you can't go wrong with the loba though.
I was originally going to use Statller's in Sheffield to map my car. They was going to stick a revo map on, I've decided to use R.T.e.c.h instead now, they get rave
reviews from nearly everyone.
I've been In my mates old mk2 cupra that had a revo stage 1 map... That didn't hang about so I can only imagine what there like when stage 2 and 2+ tuned
As for suspension- definitely go for some eibach sportlines, the drop and ride is perfect on these springs.
