Spec arm the moment of the car is:

Pd130 remapped 160bhp

Drilled and grooved discs

Mintex pads

Coilovers all around

Forge Motorsport main boost pipe

Pipercross panel filter

  • Love the green with the red , is this inspired by the Welsh Dragon flag?

Finally got around to sort the engine covers out on my vrs, the previous owner decided it was fun to paint the covers red I just say it looks terrible

Here is a photo just as I started to steam the paint off with a wallpaper steamer

Been a little busy today finish work early so I thought Id go get new tyres fitted on my wheels.

Mk1 tt wheels had them refurbished a few weeks back and they had 225 45 17 tyres so today I went and had a 4 205 40 17 fitted.

They fit on the car perfect and must say car looks a lot nicer with them on

This is the only photo I have at the moment

I'm in Halifax Yorkshire, I sold my car to a local guy so I still see it around and I'm happy to say he is taking good care of it.
