    Looks great dude. I'll link this in to the registry. I'm so glad this has been put back onto the road.

    I bought the motor from Wolfsburg Automotive in Geelong...

    $5.5k with a set of original tyres and rims included freight to Perth!

    Ok i just did the Flapper Mod, it took me like two minutes, i pulled out the hose at the back of the car near the passenger side exhaust and cable tied it nice and neatly.

    The car sounds bloody amazing now, like that sound you get when you first start it up, its just constant and sounds really mean. AMAZING!

    Things im considering doing in the meantime:

    - Get the two scratches on the side of the car re-painted
    - Get 3 dents removed
    - Get personalised plates [VWR3288]
    - Get my rims repainted
    - Get my lower front bumper lip glossed black
    - Get a pioneeer mp3 unit
    - Get a cold air intake system

    Oh and i have to get the stubby aireal and probably remove my rear centre headunit

    Well done on doing the flapper mod. The growl is great...still puts a smile on my face after 5 months. I love scaring small children. Nice list of plans. Is it a cupra lip that you want painted in gloss black? Stubby is a MUST!!! lol

    Haha thanks paul, i cant wait to drive it but i wont be able to do that until i get my license back in MAY 2010!!!!!

    Hey have you run your ride through a tunnel or a underground carpark? How does it sound?

    Im guessing its a cupra lip, looks exactly like yours man...Its looking really dull and im consedering rubbing it up with some vaseline for now...

    Im still spewing about the two scratches down the side of the car, you cant see them from a distance but very obvious when your up close, almost makes me want to cry...

    Where do i get the stubby aerial from?

    And also, i need the tool kit for the boot, im missing bits from it...

    And also, i need to get the Power Steering Angle sensor sorted out aARGHH!!
