All you need now is a rear ARB

But in all seriousness, I love how your car looks, all the mods work really well together! Keep it up

Tim - Have you had your camber / tracking done?? if so who done it!

Cant find a garage around here to do it, theyre excuse is "Its too low"

fed up of hearing it now! lol

I got mine done at my local garage, they did it no problem, was a great job and only cost Â£35. However i sent one of my mates there, and they charged him Â£73! They must have given me a discount which I wasn't aware of.

Try Orchard Motors in Pill, Newport though. They are great for camber and tracking and have a good reputation on the modified scene. They won't have an issue with how low you are.

Small Update.

Need a new handbrake cover so popped into VW to order a new one the otherday, turned out they are on back order

Not a wasted journey though, got some more new interior pieces, as the old ones were looking a tad worn:

Got a few light issues to sort out now! Just ordered these
