Some more progress on the car today, front end is built back up and front bumper is painted and ready for collection tomorrow. Had these bespoke spacers made for front brakes and are fantastic quality and a perfect fit. Still waiting for Goodridge hoses to arrive, but test fit with old wheels looks great... New V5 arrived today, so will be ordering new number plates tomorrow and few other goodies! ;) ---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ---------- Will be driving down Sunday morning - Corrado convoy Gareth? ;)

Yeah car will be at Inters - even if we have to push it there! ;)

Will be there doing show & shine with Peak Vag Club :)

Just rang the office to be told, you would not insure either of my cars if they have modifications?!

Some more positive progress today, front end is nearly rebuilt and trial fitting of new brakes, having the spacers custom machined and ordered the Goodridge hose conversion kits. Well pleased with the trial fit... ;)

Very nice indeed! Just come back from Austria some very nice cars over there! :)

Very nice any more updates? :)

So back on the case with the car today, not a great start to the week, checked out the damage to the front bumper, not too bad and now off the car heading for paint. However the car is now leaking water, Caine our fantastic mechanic chased the problem quickly and its just a couple of o-rings that need replacing. However to get to it the front of the car now looks like this! Once this is sorted back on the case with the brake upgrade!

Been away in Austria most of the week with business and mixed progress on my return. Front brakes are finished and rears on the way, but mis-hap in the workshop and the front bumper now needs painting :( Also started thinking about upgrading audio as still on standard speakers. New wheel and boss have arrived though to be fitted this week! :)

Ah how we all love these little setbacks! Soon be sorted mate! ;)

Loving the CH's nice contrast against the green, can I borrow them too! ;)

What he said! I have the same and they are fantastic! ;)

Some more cleaning done on Saturday and a few minor jobs done. Swapped the broken parcel shelf for the missing first aid kit, which after a good clean slotted back in the car fine. Also cleaned up the tool kit, the jack and the spare have never been used! Then picked these up from Andy in Peak Vag last night... Mk4 GTI rears, look a bit the worst for wear in this pic, but are all fine, only 2 years old and are being split, blasted and powder coated this week to match the new fronts. Also managed a trip to the DVLA for a new addition coming soon! ;)

Paint looks great Rob, bet your glad the wheels cleaned up so well! Did you clean under the bonnet? Running a bit higher than normal?

Love the colour the only colour I wanted apart from satin silver! Enjoy! :)

Cool mate, nah can't make Wed, sadly I'm in Austria for a few days! :)

Wasn't sure about this but looks good on! What's the gear lever, new wave VW 5 speed? ;)

Looks good mate, saw the pics on FB, you taking it to DC11 or Inters? ;)

Sounds like a very good plan indeed! ;)

Stop showing me those wheels Gareth! Its very distracting! ;)

Liking where this is heading a lot! ;)

Hey Bill, pics looks at bit more pokey than in the flesh, wheels are 17x 8" ET35 from memory, will be running 205/40/17 tyres so should all sit well hopefully! :)

Bet your well pleased, look forward to the pics once sorted. :)

Very good news! :)

Nah they were a cheeky eBay deal, think they are about £120 from the stealers! :(
