    Interesting. I'm in fairly desperate need for some rain gutter trims so hopefully they have something suitable to a golf that they used on the jetta. Cheers

    BMC CDA filter fitted, looks awesome. Haven't started the engine yet but have heard they are one of the best sounding filters for the VR6. Stock mk2 filter box was too small to fit the maf housing, mk3 box was too big to fit the bay and trying to find a Corrado VR6 box was too rare to find, especially trying to get someone to ship one to Aus.

    Had to buy a 3.25" tube to fit it to the maf housing. Kit came with a bracket which I bent into shape and gave a lick of paint. Fits well, looks great and hopefully worth every $$ I paid!

    Cheers,
    Thomas

    I did start it up and flatten the pedal, got some good intake noise!

    Strip, bog, sand, paint, repeat. Everything fixed up now but the roof, lots of bog required there. Then hopefully can get into my first layers of primer filler next weekend. Very excited

    Wow what a week. The roof was an absolute tester for me. Used over 4kg of bog and took off probably 3kg to get it right, the lowest point was about 3mm of bog and all high points had been hit down. I made a longer speed file sander to help with sanding the large surface, worked a treat! Many hours were spent getting it straight, fair to say my arms are wrecked...

    Followed up with a lick of 2k primer, now ready for a good sand! I am well pleased with how well it has all turned out.

    Cheers,
    Thomas
