Well this has been a damn good read!! I've recently boughtan ex police wagon, although mines only a wee PD105 :(

What kinda extras did the police leave behind?? I took the stereo and climate out earlier and I just had a load of cut wires and an LED in one of the blanks that doesn't do anything! Although I did find a UDS button under the gear shift! I also had the armrest left in, But there are holes either side of the cupholders where something was screwed down...

So now the coils are on, whats next??

And yes, raise it 25mm or so....then bring it down a couple of MM every now and again...she wont notice :D

Surprisingly there was quite a few things still left on the car and the amount of cable i removed was incredible! The runstop (means they can lock the car with it still running i believe) was pretty much still there although i just pulled it all out. There was a sort of working siren in the passenger wheel well that we had a laugh with in the garage until it eventually died on us (was pretty smashed up as had fallen off in the impact), but where the windscreen had fallen in there was the complete sucker mounted light unit which was hidden under the screen when it fell in. That has obviously been taken out the car as why the hell someone would want their car to look like a (fake) cop car is beyond me! Only previous career remnants of the bus  :rofl:  are the two holes in the roof lining (still trying to find a replacement black estate one) and a little hole in the small plastic trim below the speedo (il find one on a breaker one day for a couple of quid) which is a 2 minute pull out change.

 

Well next is to get the bloody S3 intercooler and pipes fitted and see what it does on the 1/4 mile this year, before getting the rear part of the exhaust changed (front and racing cat done) and limited slip diff. Then depending on how much money my missus wants to spend possibly a k04 conversion as will be properly sorted and ready to take the extra power.

 

Lol not a bad plan if a little time consuming, but tbh keeping it low suits me as she just complains and doesn't want to drive it which is just fine by me so its the lesser of 2 evils  :devil:

 

Also really want to get a set of black 18" OZ ultraleggera, but know how it is and she cut all my credit cards up few years ago (glad she did most the time!) so i cant be a sneaky git these days and just appear with stuff like i did (along with debt lol). Need to break a few VAG's tbh and see if that will pay for some goodies for me, but its all time that we ain't got and wouldn't want anyone doing a job on the car that i couldn't do myself (ok, maybe the LSD haha)

Thanks im happy with the way its looking these days and definately puts a smile on my face and a slightly puzzled look on others when they decide to have a dabble lol.
