    I'll search for a pic, searching flaps is not the best term to go with LOL.

    Instead of the CDA you can get yourself a smaller K&N to also suit and custom a box at the same time.. its a neat setup as well. But definitely like what you have done but kangfu's q is what i was gonna ask next..
    What’s behind you doesn’t matter..

    I saw it when he sold it, it had some 17inch wheels, kind of like a speedline with multiple spokes

    I bought a K&N Apollo but didnt like the look of it, it looked kind of cheap, CDA is a quality bit of work

    There are a few images of his car here http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f127...tml#post372098

    Hmm not really, I just ordered a rear brace and a front subframe brace, maybe these will be more noticable

    Replaced the BOV

    Won some money at a mates poker thing last night, and thought hey why not replace the BOV.

    Ended up buying a Turbosmart Kompact Dual-Port BOV and the dude at the supposedly "high performance workshop" fitted it for me free of charge - what I nice bloke I thought... Initially I wasn't too impressed with it as it was not that noticeable. As I drove further I started to notice that the car just did not feel right and the throttle response was a bit all over the place. In the end got home, pulled out the instructions, took the engine cover off and low and behold the knob has put the thing in the wrong way round!!!

    Well, after an hour or so trying to get it off, I put it in the right way and booyah, nice flutter on part throttle with a big woosh on full-throttle liftoff... It came with a blanking plate if I get bored of the woosh-ing. Got it on the hardest setting too so no 'check engine' lights have appeared on the dash... yet!!

    Best Part - more noise and being anodised black the thing is completely stealth - the trumpet is under the engine cover (wasn't me making that noise officer!!)

    Worst Part - Getting the f$%&ing factory hose clamps off with a small set of pliers... I replaced them with the screw-type hose clamps the BOV came with

    Lessons Learnt - If you want something done right do it yourself, oh and I think the factory vacuum hose could do with being ~1" longer, might fix that next weekend
