Are you going to carbon fibre wrap the front grill? ( The one the S badge is on ) - would suit it in my opinion.

But a nice car,one of the few I like in black but I bet its a bugger to keep clean?
 
Rear s badge complete

So the badge mission is finished lol :D But first I was at Modified nationals this weekend and alongside a few other bits i purchased Dodo juices new Supernatural 'Acrylic Spritz' due to being fed up of limescale and rainmarks left by our oh so wonderful British weather :lol: For those who aren't sure what this is,it's a water-based synthetic spray sealant,it is also a protectant to go over your existing wax which doesn't effect your previous hard work.What this does is creates more beading of rain/water,removes limescale/rain marks and leaves the car even shinier than before,supposedly lasts up to 3-4 weeks but so far it actually works.I've had two days of rain and now the sun has come out I have seen that finally there is a company that doesn't talk s**t now I know why I wont use anything else :clap: Here are a couple of photo's of this product applied and then a couple of the 's' badge wrapped let me know your thought's and opinions on old or the new much appreciated :D

New sealant applied

Looks better than the front one, but would have been even better just plain black imo..
Car looks to be pretty clean. Nasty dent there though.. :(

Dent :confused: I have a ping pong dent but it's not that noticeable guy who had it before me had done it don't know how :shrug: you must be seeing something in the reflection of the boot as it's so clean :D appart from the fingerprints just under the badge whoops lol

Thanks for the comment and yeah they are an absolute pain in the A** to keep clean :lol:
 
Amd Custom stage one & Milltek cat back non-res exhaust done!!!

Ok so it's bin a while but finally I have some new updates as you can guess by the title map and exhaust is now done.

After alot of research I chose AMD to be the right company to look after my pride and joy and what a decision and transformation,I can officialy say I have the love for driving back again :D

Heres a couple of photos of my day at Amd:

I was really pleased with the results but as such the map is still adapting so fingers crossed it's a little more rather than less :D

My mpg has gone from 28's to 34/35's and well the rest explains itself.

I added another little touch today as I'm not sure of the removal of the side R's I have carbon'd the red part of the R's which isn't to everbody's taste but I like it.

Let me know your thought's more updates soon :D
 
nice car mate didnt realise your mpg would jump up that much after a remapand how hard is black to keep clean

I didnt either I thought it was just rumour but I have witnessed the difference and I'm really pleased.Black is a pain in the a** to keep clean but if you keep on top of it and use the right stuff detailing wise it's well worth the hassle...looks shexxy :lol:
 
looks awesome mate! love the rear light tints with the clear strips!

Each to there own as I've said before because some people aren't so keen on them but thanks for the kind comment they were sprayed proffesionally with the masking tape were the strips are that was more so to stop police moaning about reflectiveness at night :rofl:

haters gunna hate, i think it looks good not seen it before seen half tints but never something masked in the middle like that. i had my old passats lights tinted and faild the mot for the lack of reflectors had to buy some cheep crappy ones before they would pass it.
 
3" Tip fitted :)

So Just a quick update as started to treat myself again :D

I finally purchased the 80mm Tip for the car but although I did want Badger 5 one funds wouldn't allow so instead I went for the Creation.M one with the billet adaptor which I am actually quite impressed with: Increased pull not only lower end but top end aswell,quicker spool and it certainly looks the part to me anyway.

Original removed(it's a little messy atm as haven't got round to engine detailing yet :rolleyes: )

I have replaced the brake vacuum hose and servo hose I will upload those photos when I get a minute appart from that thoughts welcome :D
 
Did you have trim the TIP a lot or it was an easy fit? Someone had a few issues with the Creations Motorsport TIP a few months ago, I hope that they updated the design since then.

Looks good by the way, my next update is going to be this... :) But I haven't decided which brand to choose. :confused:

The billet is a nice tight fit so you don't have to worry about air leaks :D but make sure on the inner circumfrance of the billet that goes to the turbo you apply a heat proof silicone and do up the grub screws either side of the billet tightly(they are what is a pain in the a** lol)then place the hose on the billet adjust to the position you are happy and everything else goes in place.You do have to cut a little of the silicone pipes (on the Tip) down but honestly it's worth it and I very much doubt any of the others don't have to be modified slightly either but each to there own.

I also recieved a great,polite and fast service from the C.M guys which sometimes I have not from other companys so it is definitely one I would recommend alongside Bill at Badger 5(just to make this clear I am not comparing either or slating one or the other as I know this is a hot subject for arguments among enthusiasts I am stating I would definitely go for C.M's or Badger 5's Tip)

At the end of the day the decision is yours but don't be swayed by other people be different and choose what you want,Thanks for the kind comment :D
