"Any advice or Comments welcome!"

Don't tune it any more, it will blow up!!

Seriously though, have you seen the oil consumption poll, be interested to know how much you're using as a new GTI owner?

Nice car btw, and welcome

It's really not that bad, was worse before the remap I must say.
Only problem I suffer from is misfire when cold and you just happen to pull out of a junction too quick or something.
Other than that the only thing it does is drink petrol haha

Looks really smart!
Brave leaving the polisher like that

Was only for a quick photo

Thanks for the feedback

Update Time!
Hopefully will have sold the Mercedes wheels this week so I've taken the porsche wheels for a refurb and color change before Cumbria VAG
Got myself a set of 312mm Brakes off a Mk1 TT. My brakes were pretty shot after Nurburgring so I thought now was the best time to upgrade
Bosche Discs and Mintex Pads. Will hopefully upgrade the rear brakes soon also
Disc Comparison:

Fitted:

They don't look much bigger but the difference is unreal!
Next up, had my friends at Power Project build me a new Custom exhaust. I wanted to replace the one I'd had made previously with a larger bore and thought why not just make it straight through from the CAT
They've made a brilliant job and made it so i can swap the back box and straight through tips easily

I'll get a Video of how it sounds when i get it all fitted.
Feedback welcome, hope to see some folks at Cumbria VAG!

Were the brake discs a straight fit using the stock calipers? Did you need to change the brake pad carriers on the caliper?
looking forward to hear the exhaust

No you need the full calliper and carrier off the TT. The standard brakes are 288mm but unfortunately the callipers and different on the newer platforms. I was hoping just to swap the carriers but you can't do that.
Brakes all in cost me £200 which is cheap in my opinion

Were your old calipers FSIII? Just done a quick google and it looks like they've got integrated carriers? Thats a shame thought it would be a straight swap, although 200 pounds isnt too bad

Not sure what they were, don't think they had integrated carriers no?
