Update - Bought Hong's old GTI leather interior, just need to source rear drivers door trim, arm rest, climatronic surround and a Kufatec wiring loom to retrofit it all (so I can use electric lumbar and heated seats)
Should be getting a call back tomorrow from one of the wreckers in regards to the parts and then just need to order the loom from Germany.
So currently interior is a mix and match of cloth/ leather lol

Well been sometime since an update, Had a crazy bucks weekend on the GC for my cousin the weekend just past. However the weekend previous to that I participated in the Skylines Australia 2012 end of year annual show and shine (still a member after selling my skyline more than 2 years ago )

Here are a few pics people have snapped of the car, last pic showing the liners how to do lows









On the RS update, finally got my nuts and bolts but had to buy a new deflecting beam torque wrench as my old Kinchrome one wouldn't torque properly.
Also fitted the Gti leather interior, currently car is apart as I purchased a Kufatec wiring loom and heated seat control panel so I can hook up the heated leathers

Couple pics from a small meet with some of my old evo mates

A few updates

Received and installed my new cherry red led's from JOM, and I must say they look great. Even though thet aren't the oem led's I much prefer these atm. These are a pretty simple fit, all the wiring is supplied to run the inner led's and the fog light and reverse light were easy to swap over by opening up the housings and resealing them with urethane (10min job). They also have built in reflectors so are legal for Australian roads, unlike a lot of the smoked ones

Had my rear valance painted leaving the center part in the black factory ripple finish

Bought and installed a hatch pop kit, parts from ECS and the shockers from eBay so costed me less than the complete kit from ECS and still works great, although a lot harder to close the hatch now

Had my more oem 18" wheels arrive and fixed of gutter rash and repainted

And today had my adapters from Adaptec Speedware arrive, so on Saturday I will be getting the tyres swapped over and then posting up some pics after I wash it. It's a very very dirty rear atm

Here are some updated pics while I was at my beach house this weekend, not the best as I was having to much fun with friends and didn't scope out some good spots for pics

Had to hand roll the rear guards as I couldn't book a wheel alignment in time, however they came up surprising well just enough off a roll to sit flush with wheels now

they look SOOOOOO much better on a mk5 then a mk4. love it dude!!!

[mk5_tdi]

Thanks man, yeah really happy how it's turned out now
Plus like you said won't have to clean these like the bbs's

[Lemonskin]

Taillights look AWESOME.

I liked the look of your old wheels better though! (although I'm not the one who has to clean them)
