I did the same with mine some time ago, I went for all red and even swapped the cigar lighter bezel for a red one from an old Audi. The sunroof switches and window swithces use LEDs rather than bulbs. I got these from the RS catalogue (don't remember the part numbers) and these can be soldered in inplace of the green ones. Remember that LEDs are diodes and have a right and wrong way around, longer leg signifies which is the anode and the cathode.

A friend of mine had one on his, imported from BBM. It is a nice it of kit and helps reduce the droning sound from the charger. Not sure how much of a performance gain though as it was fitted with a load of other BBM kit.

on normal MacPhersons, probably about 60mm before the pistons bottom out in the dampers. You can buy dampers with shorter pistons, I used Spax RSX on my GTi 16V with 60mm Spax springs and Bonrath spring cups. The spring cups are good, they get that bit more from the spring kit but there is a danger that you will end up with no travel in the dampers. The main problem is that the drive shaft on the drivers side will end up touching the chassis rail. Mine has a nice white stripe on it from the underseal rubbing off onto it. I don't know how low I have gone, but it must be approaching 4 inches when parked next to a VR6.

the thing to remember is that the tube you use to feed air towards the air filter must be of a larger diameter and should be connected to a funnel or collector in the front which is sealed. If it is not the air will simply go around it. Like all things it will choose the path of least resistance. I used a 4" flexi tube which fills the opening where the Carbon cannister was. This is attached to the brake duct which has been cut in half and no longer feeds the brake. I made a spigot which picks up the original fixings for the CC and holds the flexi in place. I'm not sure of its effectiveness, the charger sucks in far more air than you can 'direct' up the tube especially with a small pulley. As for heat sheilds, I think it is better to worry about what happens to the air after it is compressed, that is when it gets heated up. I have a huge conical filter with no heat shield but the intercooler is so big that even the intake manifold stays cool.

No, of course it has a radiator. The intercooler is fitted in front of the radiator which has been slightly repositioned to make space for it.

I have had the car for nearly 3 years now

The Head is being fitted at the moment. I'm getting fed up with walking to the shops now so I want it back quick. The friend who is doing the work is pretty useful with a die-grinder so he is going to match the inlet and exhaust manifolds to the gas-flowed head.
