OK cool, yeah that all I've used atm, well self drilling screws which removed the need to jack the front of the car up enough to get a drill under it. There's just some very small sections where I can see slight daylight between the splitter and body work and just wondered if I should run a thin line of sealer along where the splitter meets the body work so it's completely air tight? 

 

Think I might need to add some rubber spacers on the right side section of the splitter as I'm not sure if it's the way the cars sitting or the way the light hits the splitter but it might be sitting ever so slightly higher that side (that's me bring OCD).... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi was it easy enough to remove the silver grill surround? I’m thinking of getting a black surround for mine

Is that your normal parking. In London you would be fined for being at least 50cm from the kerb. Is that Quartz Grey it almost looks Green in that light. That's not an Irish joke BTW?

Been spending some time in the UK recently and went shopping in Liverpool yesterday. Decided to take some pics with the Radio CIty tower in day and night.

Given that the license plate was probably issued in Tallinn... you took a lenghty drive there

Pärnu, and yeah I managed to add over 125000 km in two years. Car's probably been to more countries than the majority of people ever will.

Perhaps someone from the care home took it for a JOY RIDE just to confirm they needed new specs!

It takes a while to get going, as you dont want to damage the paint work or actual grill itself but once you have manage to get a section off then you just have to snap the rest and comes off quickly

New Friedrich Motorsport Full stainless system (ignore the dirt as my pressure washer needs a new O ring) 

 

i'm adding another hanger on the other side as the TDI doesn't have one where the TSI does and should be a bit more secure and sit higher. 

I've definitely noticed more torque/power at the top end of the rev range and it feels much quicker too. I was expecting much more noise but its actually quieter if im honest and less of a drone at motorway speeds.

Were you running the standard exhaust system before hand?

What was the damage?

yes, the full system was £650 posted, If you're TDI you'll need to add the TSI right tip as the TDI dummy is too shallow (£78 from Skoda), the two heat shields (£20 also from Skoda). The FOX Sportauspuff one looks good too but was considerably more. I got this on ebay.de

Was it the exhaust system you bought on eBay? Just looked on a couple of websites and can't find it.
