I nearly bought a red one but it sold the day before . Come pay day getting the wheels black or anthracite. 200 pound. Mirrors are getting wrapped black on friday. Looking to spend around 1000 pound. Could really do with lowering mine about 25-30mm the arch gap is massive.
personally i would recommend anthricite over blak, but then again im not a big fan of the stealth look and i much prefer a car with light on dark contrast or vice versa. on yours i would colour code the mirrors, rub strips, alloys and boot spoiler in silver
but then again im a bit of a berk 
not yet mate, trying to get hold of dubluv graphics who did the last batch and its like getting blood from a stone. i'll keep you all posted tho
ok so been spending a tad:
air filter cleaner:
has done wonders with the filter, the water that came through was running black for 2-3 applications, has also made a differance to the way the car revv's just like putting a new one in, not bad for £8
and also on that note bought a few more tools to make life simpler. The magnet you see in the front is nothing short of a lifesaver if your a bit of a cluts and have an inability not to drop things into the engine bay
also purchased some now paint cleaner from Autoglym (Paint renovator) Absolutely awesome stuff:

Looks awesome
cheers mate.
a blown rear number plate bulb was the perfek excuse to purchase these:
lurvely in my eyes and finishes off the xenon bulb look of the car, dont think i've missed any.....

ive got a mk4 pd 130 and i want to upgrade the brakes as ive had my car re-mapped.. will tt 312mm calipers fit straight on? or is there more to it then that
cheers si
cheers si
sorry mate only just seen this, mine where straight swop, so as long as you have the carriers, calipers, discs and pads, your sorted
Is it essential to get the brakes upgraded. In getting my FR PD130 mapped soon. Dont plan on ragging it everywhere want it more for the mpg?
Honestly, no, however it is highly recommended you upgrade the stopping gear wheather its a 312mm upgrade or upgraded discs and pads. As i plan to go stage 2 and push over 200bhp and for the fact i got them t a bargain price, it made sense for me to do it

Cars going in for service tomorrow for its 70k. I've owned the car since May 09 and I've put on nearly 45k in that time lol well at least I know diesel was the correct choice.
On a bad note, whilst its in tomorrow, turbo is going to get looked at as the boost limiter kicked in again last night and coupled with a few other turbo related things, ie whistles and squeeks, I think its on its last legs now but we'll see
