    The quality is really nice, that loom is awesome, so easy.

    With the towbar in square the bolt holes on the right were not lining up, simply drilled a new hole in the leg on the bar, using the original vw hole in the car.
    Also for it all to fit, the draw bar at the bottom sat too tight against the bottom of the wheel well for it to push in properly - required some panel beating to make it fit.
    Seems pretty good now, getting the rear bumper sorted today. you only need to take away a small amount of plastic for the draw bar, but i didnt remove enough and the panel gaps dont line up - so off with the bumper, recut (cant get in with the bumper on) and refit.

    When it's finished though, it will be really slick - without the extension bolted on, you will hardly know it is there. Still very happy with it, just a bit more of a fiddle than i prepared for. Pics when it is done

    I put my airbox back in the other day and have noticed lower consumption.

    Yesterday I put a K&N panel filter in there also and am still only 50% through my tank (at ~240k's) which is better than usual.

    Fingers crossed I can get it below 11.5 for the tank.

    Stan - It might even help keep the car's handling a bit mare rigid in the back? Or does it have to be connected directly to the suspension to do that?

    The rear bumper under the abs plastic bumper is attached to the rear panel with 4 bolts. Simply bolts on flat to the rear panel. When removed it is noticed that it covers 2 square holes the the legs of the towbar slot into and bolt up through the body.

    Neither are attached to the suspension in any way.

    I imagine they would both offer a similar level of lateral support.

    So that being said, one of the best things I did that sharpened the feeling of the steering and stiffen up the back a heap was to attach a whiteline rear anti sway bar - best bang for buck handling modification IMO.

    PBW, car looks nice.

    Replaced front left steering knuckle/hub carrier, has been a bit bent since day one oif the big brake conversion - causing too much negative camber.
    Ordered a second hand one from AVS/Eurospares - perfect. Quick wheel alignment and back in business.
    Have to pull off the rear ABS bumper after the towbar fit, didnt quite cut enough away and the panel gaps are too big
