I got em from Poverty on here mate. When he bought them, they weren't such a popular mod so they were quite cheap. But from what I've heard recently, VW have pumped the price up to around £20 each! There was a guy selling 2 for £23 I think. Over on mk5golfgti.com

Aye, £20 odd each from VW [:@]

I already have/had them but one popped off and snapped in half, damaging one of my wheels :cry:

Only on the lookout for one...

Graffiti Tunnel? Can we get some good piccies there?

Yeah theres lots of impressive shots to be had. Wanna find someone with a rig so I can get some moving shots :)

Have you both got iPhones? If so, download the liveprofile app and we can discuss it more on there

Blimey it's been a while since I was here!!!! Thanks for all the comments guys. I've been working non stop lately and haven't had a chance to get on here.

The only updates so far, is that the car now needs a clutch. Getting a lot of slip in 3rd gear. It's also going in for 30k service this weekend, courtesy of SeatUK ;)

I took the car to Santa Pod for flame and thunder. Went up the strip on the Sunday. She ran a 14.06 @ 100.1 mph. So a lot of room for improvement but I'm happy none the less

Am gonna see about getting a downpipe after Xmas and going stage 2. But tbh that's probably all I'll be doing engine wise. The car is fast enough at stage 1 for what I want. But a wee bit of extra grunt won't hurt, besides I want a bit more noise lol

So that's it until Xmas I imagine, unless I win the lottery between now and then. In which case I'll be heading straight for McLaren and purchasing an SLR :)

A small update, the car is temporarily grounded due to a fox running out on me at 70mph! :(

Damage is to the passenger side of the bumper and arch liner. I'm not sure if there is any other bits that have been damaged as I can't get under the car to see. Hopefully not though as I'm looking at roughly £1500 to put it back to normal again now :'(

I'm also an engaged man now so I'm having to save money to put toward the wedding.

On a plus note. I have been looking to add a downpipe and go stage 2 for a while now. I've been doing my research and have come across a company called BCS Automotive. i have spoke about them before in another thread, The name will be familiar to some of you, but for those who don't know, BCS is owned by the same man who started Blueflame exhausts (Nigel Leeming) I'm now potentially planning a trip up to BCS HQ where Nige is going to use my car as development for a new range in cat backs for anyone wanting centre exit/K1 exhausts. Theres also some clever new technology involved which will also be incorporated into this, So hopefully i should soon have a 3" TBE which will then be followed up with a trip to revo or apr to have Stage 2 software loaded

So exciting times are coming :) am really hoping I can organise the BCS trip soon as I'm gagging for more noise and power

Watch this space!

Nice one Shane! Hopefully some time soon I will be running 2+ as I have all the bits here except the induction kit. Need to sort your motor so we can hook up again some time.
