So my static plate as turned up for the front. They ain't cheap but it keeps the police of your back  

Fitted today was some US blinker stickers from eBay 

 

I'm still unsure about them.

 

The plate is still holding on which I'm happy about. The strut brace hasn't turned up yet I'm still waiting on customs to release it

The turbo is here. Can't wait to get it on, hopefully with being the latest is38 turbo it should be a good one. Looks like new

I saw a few of these at worthsee this year with the orange filter on, for me the jury is still out on the look. But overall your wagon is tip-top.

im just seeing this thread now, that is sick. whats the ride like? im reading the last 5 pages in anticipation as we speak. I love it but im weary as i have a FBSS on my 61 cab beetle and it rides really hard and chews tyres but that just the old ball joint suspension.

 

that looks like the nuts, easily my favorite car on here, one to upset the Victor meldrews. 

 

Q. did you have to pull the bumper off to fit the honeycomb grill?

 

Hi, have you got more details on the airride? i just finished reading the thread and i hope i didnt miss it. or is it top secret? 

 

Only thing i would change would be to fit the colour coded eyelids and silver indicator bulbs for that really clean clear aggressive look. As i said this car has blown me away. Id love to see it in the flesh.

Thanks for the nice comments. The bumper does have to come off and then the grill is bonded to the bumper. You have to cut them off and then bond the honey comb grill back on. Think I used sikaflex 221 from euro car parts. 

So after waiting nearly 2 months for the strut brace which came in the wrong colour (blue) then had that changed it's finally on. Roll on 2018 for the other parts to arrive and be fitted

Yes and no I couldn't get the wiper arms off but I managed to get it under the plastics. What a difference it makes I could it was on just driving down the road and then had a blast around some roundabouts 

Where did you buy it from? 

I like the look of this mate, fancy letting me know where you got it from ?

Cheers guys I got it of ebay

So I wasn't going to get any new wheels for the car but I really liked the design of the neuspeed rse10 and being big brake friendly it was a perfect choice for the ttrs set up. 

 

Neuspeed rse10 19x8 et45 light weight and in matte bronze 

 

Just need the weather to be better to get some pictures

First bronze wheels I've seen on a lighter-coloured Octy RS that are actually incredibly well-suited (especially of the 'split 5-spokes'!) - great job  .

 

Every time I look on this thread, it reminds me that I haven't actually done that much to mine.

They do they wheels in about 4 different colours but I think the matte bronze is the best. To be honest I wasn't sure with the car being white but abit of Google search made my mind up.

 

 

Cheers 

Love this car. 

 

I had neuspeeds on my mk2, fantastic wheel, great quality and super light.  Plenty of room for my brembos. 

Gorgeous wheels Ant!

I know some people in America are running 8 pots behind the wheels
