Thanks I've still got a never ending list of things to do to her but I'm getting there slowly. I want to save up for a engine swap next year but there's just too much other stuff to buy along the way :)

very nice car mate.

I especially like the fact that when you suck the bunnies out the hedgerows with the front end you can fire them at pedestrians through the bonnet vents!

welcome to the club!

Hi Rob.

Welcome to the club.

An engine swap is a rather expensive modification.

Have you thought about a NA-T conversion?

Also will you be swapping the gearbox so that you have probably one of the only manual TT aerotops? ;)

EINST3IN

Thanks all...

The swap should cost between 2-3k NA-T would be far more expensive, Changing to a manual would be rather pricey as apparently the gear boxes are very much in demand :)

I would love to convert it to a manual but cost would just be too high...

Welcome to the club mate :)

Very nice looking car. Thats not a stock spoiler, is it? Looks much lower and streamlined than stock! Or maybe its just the angle of the pic?!

EINST3IN

No, apparently not... It's what they call the Evo spoiler I believe... Something to do with height restrictions in europe...

I do prefer the look of mine to the stock ones but the height puts it exactly in the way of the rear view mirror so you can't see anything behind you :)

Thanks for the welcome guys :)
