Thanks mate, I think black wheels suit Rising blue far better then silver! especially with black mirrors/rear diffuser

Cheers mate, a lot but not as much as if I bought an R and did the same work!

May sell for a C63 amg in the new year though :shrug:

Does anyone have any idea what my car would be worth if I was to sell it? Its all genuine R parts apart from the sideskirts... All top of the range performance parts, mainly VW Racing.

Just trying to get an idea

Might sound a bit harsh. Someone on here might be willing to pay a tad over the odds but really just look at the book price for a 2008 GT. Don't think you'd get anything extra from a dealer no matter how good it looks

Not harsh at all, I fully understand you don't get the price back for modding a car, I never built it to make a profit :) I have no interest in selling to a dealer :) Will be a private sale towards the summer with no rush/need to sell. Just no idea what its actually worth really! /may remove some mods and sell seperately, but I'm sure someone wanting a high spec scirocco will be willing to part with the cash :lol:

Finally got round to doing some more bits on the car.

Ordered a new DAB RNS 510 headunit that should come tomorrow, and a DAB amplifier, so hopefully that will be plug and play.

I also got a bluetooth module as my car had no bluetooth, installed that tonight, what a ball ache!! installed it properly :) microphone in the roof centre, and module under the drivers seat :)

More to come over the next couple of weeks :hyper:

under the drivers seat?! Have you not seen how much room there is behind the climate control! Someone once told me "it's like Narnia back there."

Good job though - any wiggle on the K04?

I saw people installing behind there but then there would have been so much excess wire, and i was worried it would rattle. The OEM fitment is under the drivers seat as they have a foam holder that sticks to the carpet so I got that, and the carpet already had cut outs for the wiring :) I like things OEM :D Was worth the hassle of routing the wires IMO.

K04 no luck, only want to do it if a full kit comes up second hand, if not I will continue to wait for Syvecs to release their TSI standalone ecu and fit my GT3076R turbo :)

Got lots more to fit still over the next couple of weeks:

VW Racing engine mounts (only fitted 1 so far)
Front anti roll bar
Powerflex Anti lift kit
Forged internals

I'm sure I have missed stuff, this has all been sat in boxes for months! Need to get it on the car. Also moving house next weekend! So going to be a busy couple of weeks :clap:
