tbh for used parts better off checking v.a.s.s on fb or ebay. Scene tax is a big thing in the classified especially on wheels and tuning parts, I see people asking retail on alot of used parts. I've seen used sets of team dynamics up for £400-£500, exhausts for £300, its silly. You can have a fully custom SS exhaust made for under £300.

ahhh gutted theyre in no better condition than mine, apparently cant be refurbed to same finish.

Any chance of posting the passenger side door card?

pipework included?

Another vote for the BKR7E! I've got stage 1 also and started with the basic 150bhp AUM. Its alot better with the map, better MPG, much better acceleration, I cant see any reason not to. Although you do need 99 RON petrol so reliant on being near Tesco or Shell. I can get 43mpg on the way to work at a steady 70 (75-80 indicated) on the motorway, my long distance mpg average is around 34mpg over 2000 miles. The 2 other best mods ive done are the 312mm front brake upgrade and a 24mm adjustable whiteline rarb. It seriously reduces understeer to the point where they start handling with a good degree of composure.

Ive noticed that very occasionally mine refuses to go into 1st, as does a Subaru in the household, in both cases they'll engage first if you rev in neutral before selecting the gear.

Ive just done my HGV theory last month and seems the rules for rear overhang is that you need a triangle flag on the end if it overhangs by more than 2 meters.

I need a front passenger side door card and potentially a drivers side too if the drivers grab handle is in decent nick.

Just checked mine and it matches the headlining not the C pillers.

How much let in the meguirs pack pal?

Golf, leon, A3 wheels are a direct fit, fabia and polo wheels fit but need spacers to correct the ET. I hear golf recaros fit and seem to be the only different design of seat from these group cars that bolt straight in, S3 seats require a bit of custom work to fit i'm told. If its not a VRS the best mod brakes wise is to upgrade the front brakes to the 312mm items, this requires new discs, and a different caliper carrier, these are easy to find on ebay searching for '312mm caliper carrier mk4 golf', the carrier will come from either a VRS or the TT. Its honestly a 2 bolt per side job. A remap, uprated air filter and forge 008 is the best thing for these on a budget, if you've got the k03s turbo you'll make an easy 200bhp, getting much beyond that requires the entire exhaust to be ripped out and replaced, a front mount intercooler etc etc and is jolly expensive for another 30bhp or so.

And on the comps, I just love the offset on these. The front ns one has a bit of kerb rash but the rest are pretty mint. Not bad for £104.

I've got an L&K and to be honest the sand coloured leather isnt all that hard to keep clean. The carpets however do take a bit of work, I get all the mats out and shampoo them every couple of months. This is something i've been pondering over for a while as my bodyworks got so many scratches, dings and marks I recon its cheaper to buy a doner with a better shell and swap everything over than it is to have the marks taken out. I'll be following this with interest!

Im running Fabia Elba wheels atm as a stop gap between getting my TT comps sorted out and my standard wheels urgently requiring tyres and a refurb. 4 decent enough Continental tyres, undertyred but will do for a couple of weeks.

Ahh cheers for the heads up. Think ill hang fire until I understand them a bit better
