Cheers for the comments Craig :)

Yeah ive got a few visual changes planned, picking up a debadged grill tonight so should have some pics of that soon, followed soon after by an LCR splitter... then the other things on my list should follow after.. :D

Thats the pans for the moment, would love to go to town on it giving it the whole euro style but finances are preventing that at the moment... :(

So small update..

I brought a badge less grill off of another member (Cheers Paul :D !) and fitted it Thursday night...

(sorry poor quality iPhone pics)

I initially liked it but as the day went on i looked at the front and i think it was just too much black and it needed something to break it up a bit. So i put my creative hat on and...

Took the OE grill and removed the chrome trim.

Took one of these..

Then a merged the two together to produce one of these !

I think it looks pretty cool and a bit different, im gonna fit it to the car tomoz, so ill post some pics up then.

The best thing is i now have 4 grill options so i change it whenever i like :D

- OE
- OE with Black Trim
- Badge less with black trim
- Badge less with chrome trim

LCR splitter is defiantly next on my list !

Ok so i fitted the new custom grill on the weekend, i really like it :D :D

the chrome breaks up the black a bit and gives a "less is more" kind of look..

How old is it mate?

I'm thinking about an Awesome GTI remap on my PD100 as well but can't make up my mind! Have you had any problems with yours since having it done or anything like that?

Mate do it ! it will be the best £150 you have ever spent !:D

As for the map no problems at all very happy with it, it pulls like a train and it has an alot smother power curve than standard very little turbo lag which is great for everyday driving. No clutch slip at all, and as an added bonus the fuel economy has improved too !

The car is very quick and has created some shocked faces on the road ! :rofl:

Awesome did a first class job, i honestly cannot see how another generic map eg Revo would be any better imo.

Damn you and your persuasiveness lol.

That's good to hear, I think it may be time to spend some money! :whistle:
