Car looks mint matey, only just seen your thread, think im going to have to get a lcr splitter, makes the front look so much meaner!

i noticed you saying about warranty when on about fitting lowering springs, do they not mind about the milltek exhaust and that?

cheers. Yea the splitter was well easy to fit and a cheap mod!

with the warrenty, i think if something went wrong with the exhaust then it would not be covered....as i have changed it.

im still thinking about lowering options...was going for just 35mm drop with springs but worried about ruining the original shocks so was looking at a 35mm drop of springs and shocks....but that will be in the future as got a few more things on the way..tints....and anthracite alloys :)

still got a year and half warrenty so dont wanna change too much in case it goes pear shaped

i'm liking those recent pics in the park mate, where abouts you from as i think i might have seen you in south london?

you decided about springs n shocks yet? i'm gettin quotes for GTi setup so i can know roughly how much it will all cost once i get round to it (but got another 2 yrs left on warranty :()

all in all a lovely example...can't wait to get mine mapped after the summer ;)

thanks mate...sorry im not sarf of the river! im in n/w london...bucks herts border...this was taken in a national trust park...was a lovely day

have looked at springs and shocks sets and they are quite cheap but its the fitting that is expensve!...am im just moving house so funds are quite low...getting tints this weekend though!

getting mine mapped is the best thing so far.....really smooth power delivery, really want some of those seat sport stickers now

hehe, Seat Sport decals all the way :thumbup: (can't let the cupra boys be the only ones)

as per the tints, i've got medium tint all-round and think it's perfect...you may find the light tints a tad bright still. have you decided to go light already?

i'm gettin mine revo'd i think as i got a mate who knows a mate (if you know what i mean :D)

going legal on the front :)

dark/medium smoke on back and then dark on the rear windscreen...also getting a sun strip too :)

yet to go on a meet yet...as no where really near me.....south london ones are too far, as are the hampshire and east herts ones...

need a bucks one!!!!!

word of advice about different tints, once you cover the rear 3 windows the tint gets darker as less light gets back there...so even medium tints look dark (i haven't been pulled for my fronts so all seems good and been well over a yr)

plus going dark on the rears will only attract unwanted attention (which in my case is not what i wanted)

hahaha...i see your based in stevenage..

i drive past it too and from work and never been there except to walk the dog...

lovely place for a photoshoot...as the road is so straight...and has a huge memorial at one end and a lovely house at the other...so potential for some great shots!

theres also a nice little pub at the bottom of the ridge(memorial side) by a pond. tho the walk back up was a killer for the missus, silly woman wore flip flops, lesson learnt.
