Been a bit quiet over the last few months mainly due to the fact that the car has been running faultlessly which is extremely nice.

First thing i did was have the brake discs/pads changed up front. New TCA's and top mounts fitted. Had the tracking all done, suspension components/bolts all checked to make sure tight, and the engine timing all rechecked following its headrebuild etc. Also had a poly engine mount fitted to the rear mount. Going to change the other two in the near future but as for just doing one it stops a lot of engine rock. All three will be tight as a drum.

I changed the gear oil out just for the sake of being complete. Changed it to motul gear 300 which was pretty pricey at around £80 but it changes nice and smooth and i know that it is done and can forget about it :-) Whilst i was oily i nipped down to VW and changed the oil and filter so all is nice and fresh.

Nothing has changed regards the styling of the car as i am going for the better than standard and lowered look. I changed the indicators up front to all the standard orange stuff and i love it. Originally only did it due to losing an indicator in a big puddle but now i prefer it anyways :-)

Anyway update needs pics so i gave the thing a quick wipe down:

The car does have a drivers side that is exactly the same as the passengers just the curb made it an awkward photo.

Comments and criticism welcome.

    Cheers mush :-) Broken drivers side wing mirror now replaced with a spanking one. 7.3k chip put in which is better. Just a few more bits and bobs and i'm done :-)

Not one criticism to be made, its lovely 8-)

I much prefered the orange indis on mine also. Help with the contrast i think :-)

Love this car <3

Beautiful, I love how simple this is, Top credit to you for the work you have done, sounds like a very well looked after car.

Cheers guys 8-)

It is well looked after. Problems with cars niggle me too much to ignore them.

The photos were taken on my phone on a VERY bright day. Looks like i have edited them and messed with the contrast and brightness.

As said time and time before, GT perfection right there! I'd love to take her for a sneaky drive :unibrow::paranoid:

Well after driving round for a month without realising my MOT had run out (idiot) i put the car in for its test......

....without so much of a turn of a spanner it passed first time needing nothing and with no advisory :-)

Chuffed :-D

I also replaced the fuel filter and properly refitted the fuel filter bracket back to the underside of the car as there was a few cable ties helping it stay up before.

Will update with some more pics following a much needed clean (inside and out) this weekend.
