MDMTechnik 10 Posted January 5, 2016 Drivers door has had first polish. Going to fit everything to the car and then give it the final polish. Loving the classic green colour, never been a fan of green car but this colour does like stunning. While the doors and rear bumper are being polished, I'm building up my head.

seanl82 23 Posted January 5, 2016 Looks cracking even with the fast cut + which you usually get quite a bit of marring with! Wait til you see it after the ultrafina if you're staying with 3M products! :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDMTechnik 10 Posted January 13, 2016 Got all nuts, bolts, catches etc zinc plated!! Can't believe how well it's come out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted January 13, 2016 I have but there is no development involved with them and you end up with droning. What Milltek do is they trial many silencer type and sizes and also pipe diameter in order to produce a exhaust which gives optimum power and or torque without droning. With a custom exhaust you simply wouldn't get this. I know I may have to go down the custom route with the manifold but past experiences of custom exhausts are not great. hello m8 Longlife exhausts produced an awesome result on my VR 2.5" SS from downpipe back with high flow CAT, custom fab'd on the car (which is lowered & took him 7.5 hours to do) pics, video & info on my build thread if you want to see & hear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDMTechnik 10 Posted January 19, 2016 Looks superb but I think you have put the PAS pulley on the wrong way. its not much out like that but enough to make the belt squeal! Cheers dude. I put it on both ways and none look 100% correct for alignment. I will wait until the head and tensioner are on and then double check alignment with belt. Thanks for the heads up.

VAG-hag 0 Posted January 20, 2016 Going back to your manifold question mate. If the motor is stock then std headers are as good as you will get VW did a good job with them. Not pretty but if cleaned up and coated they could be good enough? Lovely looking paint btw! It's going to be a good in this :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDMTechnik 10 Posted January 21, 2016 A few more little bits done today. Couldn't resist fitting inlet just to see what it looks like. And this is the Idiot who painted my car. Adrian. Adrian decided to finger and lick my throttle body. Adrian also decided to hump my throttle body. Adrian also owns a Ford. Don't be like Adrian. Don't be a twat.
