Looks well, and yes you can do an egr delete on the amf engine with out any adverse effects (warm up time was increased on mine in the cold weather so I put it back on).

The engine isn't advanced enough to know what's going on so it's all good :)

Cheers bud, its holding up ok, except on the lip of the one of the rears, lil chip missing but probably started by tire fitters :lol:

Depends where you go dude, mainly depends on the size of the tank that they dip in it, most of the big professionals should be ok to do it :-)

:lol: tbh Andy, think am gonna break it, don't think it wants to be a actual car anymore :lol:

Booked this in for new caliper and discs and pads on the back this Friday, tried to wangle me helping out by changing discs and pads on the other side whilst the caliper was being changed but they said no :lol:

Thinking about painting the monos satin matt black too ;)

Holy thread resurrection batman!

Lots done on this, mainly maintenance including new tyres and raising the front slightly as driveshaft was catching (advisory on MOT; never noticed it!)

Gonna get rid of the hydrodipped bits now as they look wank in all honesty :lol: already sprayed the engine satin black, hopefully gonna paint those bits gloss black (handle inserts, other plastic bits; might keep heater controls in carbon; gonna spray the window switch bits black)

Got some other bits I need pics of but will do that in time, few pics of her lately (location shots and at dubmania)

So, the end of an era has come, sold this on this week to pursue living the GTI Engineering Scirocco Dream :-D

Gonna miss it loads, not just because it was my first car, but mainly because it was my route into the VW scene and enabled me to meet so many awesome people :-)

Although the new owner has put it back up for sale, advert here http://www.clubpolo.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=339613
