    It's a nice trim touch/effect

    That bold yellow makes the car look short!

    So here are some current pics of the car... Looks so much better in person tho...

    Up to date mods list is as follows:
    Eibach lowered springs
    Whiteline adjustable rear swaybar - set on medium
    Torque arm insert from dub addiction - I am going to remove this as vibrations are just a bit more than desired
    Custom Dump pipe
    Bluefin tune - Stage 2
    Plastidipped front grill black
    Plastidipped rear octavia badge
    Powder coated wheels in Satin Black
    Plastidipped roof rails in black
    Front lip

    Still to come:
    Tinted windows - before Xmas
    R8 coil packs - 3 weeks away

    Very nice!

    How hard was the torque arm insert to do? Simple job?

    As far as im told, it is easy to do as it goes into a void underneath, then you use the bolt and washer supplied to fasten it in. My mechanic did it for me when he installed my suspension but he said its a simple job... just gotta get under the car...

    Yeh its alot better now than when first installed (apparently takes a couple tanks to sort it self out..... I still get the odd misfire here and there so im hoping the R8 coil packs will help that out - if not, i'll just go back to tigersoft performance and they will work something out... 2nd and 3rd gear just wants the car to fly... heaps more power...

    Yep I have the DSG.... would love this in manual tho... would be so much better to drive...
